I AM researching my family history and I'm looking for information about my great-great-grandfather Charles Holland, from North Bradley. He was born in about 1837 to John and Jemima Holland.
He lived in Ireland, in North Bradley, at the 1841 census and then in various houses in Church Lane until 1901. I have no information about him after this date.
His son, Charles William Holland, moved to Barry in South Wales and had four children including my grandmother Gladys Muriel Holland. One of Charles Williams son's, Stanley Charles Holland, may have moved back to the Trowbridge/North Bradley area but I can't find any information about him or whether he had any descendants.

Charles Holland must have been to America at one time as one of his daughters, Ada, was born there in about 1875.
I'd be really pleased to make contact with anyone who may be able to help me with this part of my family tree.
