Baptism:   
     Date:   30 Oct 1656
     Place:   Eglwysbach, Denbighshire

Burial:   
     Date:   28 Feb 1670
     Place:   Eglwysbach, Denbighshire

Individual Note:
     The PR has burials for two Martha Holland in the right timescale. One28/02/1670 and also 9/2/1703. Either date could apply, however as there was no record of a marriage I have opted to attribute the earlier date to Martha vch Robert on the assumption that she may have died before marital age.

Note for:   Mary Holland,   BEF 29 Jun 1603 - BEF 15 Aug 1619         Index

Baptism:   
     Date:   29 Jun 1603
     Place:   Eglwysbach, Denbighshire

Burial:   
     Date:   15 Aug 1619
     Place:   Eglwysbach, Denbighshire

Individual Note:
     The Church Warden's notes for Eglwysbach are confusing as he says that Mary was baptised on 17/1/1603 whereas the Parish Register records this as the date her sister Grace was baptised. In his typed transcript of the first Eglwysbach Register he gives Mary's baptism as 29th June 1603. A further inspection of the the register will be required to confirm which date is accurate.
