Hi
Ellis Holland 1783-1856 is my 5Th great grandfather, I have also had problems in finding any evidence of his birthday in llandrillo. His father was a Major Holland that owned a manor house and land in Flintshire. Ellis himself was a military man in his younger days. I came upon some stories of him in the old welsh newspaper's, calling young men of dolwyddelan to arms to protect the villagers from bandits, this must have happened in the early 1800s, the newspaper was written in 1891.
Regards,
Llio
