Yes that is all I have...
I am wondering if he changed his name when he arrived in NZ?
Can't find any parents he put on marriage cert.
Thanks for your reply.

We are told he was a Barrister and Solicitor of London in early 1800's. He is listed as father of William Gordon Robinson Holland also an unknown background who married Harriett Haslam in Nelson New Zealand.
We have linked up with many family but these guys are a mystery for all involved. WGR Holland was listed as grand mariner and also no records found???
ALL help much appreciated...
