Family notes:

·         There is no clear indication of where the records of Robert the father end, and Robert the son begin. However, after these records associated with Robert as chief justice, no records of a Robert de Holand as chief justice occur. This, and other circumstantial evidence in records associated with Thomas, earl of Lancaster, lead to these being records of the father, and not the son.

·         Thurston s/o §§Robert de Holand of Upholland, Lancashire & §§Cecily de Columbers. Thurston married a d/o Adam de Kellet.

Children of Robert and Elizabeth:

i. Robert de Holand (30422042), born ~1283 in England.

ii. Margaret Holand (5909931), born ~1285 in England.
