     Place:   Bryn y Fran. Eglwysbach, Denbighshire

     Place:   Bryn y Fran. Eglwysbach, Denbighshire

Burial:   
     Date:   8 Jun 1711
     Place:   Eglwysbach, Denbighshire

Individual Note:
     Humphrey was married to Dorothy Davies vch John Davies of Llanrwst(Gfs & HHE XDS/101/23/40). According to the PR they had eight children as follows:

Ellen b1674, daughter of Humphrey Holland and Dorothy Davies of Pennant
Mary b 1675, daughter of Humphrey Holland. According to Hayes she married William Jones in 1698.
Robert Holland b 1676, d 1720, son of Humphrey.
John Holland son of Humphrey, Bryn Y Fran, b 1677, d 1698
William Holland son of Humphrey, Bryn y Fran, b 1678, It is presumed he died in 1758 as this is the only unallocated death for a William Holland in the Eglwysbach PR's.
Jane Holland b 1680, daughter of Humphrey, d 1755, married Robert Davies (Hayes), 1693
Edward b 1683, son of Humphrey and Dorothy Davies
Richard b 19th June 1687 , son of Humphrey and Dorothy Davies.

An entry in the neighbouring parish of Llanddoget records the death of Richard Holland of Pennant 15th Sept 1687. It seems highly probable that this is the same Richard and is an indication that the family used both Parish churches.
It is a puzzle that there is no entry for a birth of a Humphrey Holland in the PR in the period when all his siblings were born (1646/1660). The only entry for a burial is 1711, however this date is attributed to Humphrey Holland ap Owen of Pen Y Bryn (Eglwys BachHistory Papers) who was the householder of Bryn Y Fran in 1699, and according to the PR was born in1674.

There is confusion over the occupancy of Bryn Y Fran as can be seen in the above PR entries. There is an entry for Humphrey of Pennant at an earlier date than the entry for Humphrey of Bryn Y Fran. If Robert was alive until 1693 then Humphrey would have had to find somewhere else to raise his large family. A feasible hypothesis is that he had his first child Ellen whilst living at Pennant and then moved to Bryn Y Fran where he had his remaining children. He would have moved back to Pennant as son and heir on his fathers death in 1693. By this time Humphrey ap Owen, who was born in 1674 would have been old enough to take over Bryn Y Fran where we know he was householder in 1699.

What happened to the remainder of Humphrey's children is unknown.

Baptism:

     Place:   Eglwysbach, Denbighshire

Individual Note:
     Humphrey was a late child of Owen and Margaret Davies, being born in1674 and living until 1711 (PR). This information is consistent with the Local Historians records, I believe he may have been married to Anne Pritchard but the source of this information is mislaid and therefore has not been used in this pedigree. There is no record of William having any children and it is not known who inherited the property after his death.
