Hi Austin,
Kate Bishop married Thomas Holland who was Mayor of Unley (Adelaide) for a time.

Kate's mother was Annie Geary from Cork in Ireland.  She married Robert Bolger who died at sea (mutiny off the coast of Tasmania?).  She then married Thomlinson who also died.  Her third husband, who was Kate's father, was George Bishop, originally from Liverpool, UK.

Cheers,
Geoff Holland

Hi Jennie,
I am also a direct descendent of Kate Bishop (and of course Annie Geary).  My mobile is 0499658764.

My grandfather was George Harold Holland, one of Kate's sons.  I have Kate and Thomas's dining table.  I have visited Woodhurst when I was young.

I have some family charts.

Best wishes,
Geoff Holland

Hi all, I am a direct descendent of Thomas Holland and his son William Holland who emigrated to Adelaide, was a shoemaker, Grand Master of the Masons, and Adelaide City Alderman.  (William's son Thomas had a son George Harold Holland who had a son Maxwell Bishop Holland who is my father).

I know four of Charlotte Edwards' grandparents (Charlotte was Williams first wife).  I have photos of William and his son Thomas.

Will try to upload a file (I just now joined this site).

Would appreciate contact from any of you interested in this family.

Best wishes,
Geoff Holland
