Parents of Wilfred Holland, b 1847 m Elizabeth Foy, Preston, Lancashire?

[Kiwihunter]

Good people of Lancashire, I am a lowly ag lab from New Zealand who has an ancestor who came from your area.

He was:

Wilfred Holland, b September 1847 in Preston, Lancashire.

In 1872 he married

Elizabeth Foy who was born circa 1848

they had children

David Francis Holland b 1875, Preston, Lanc
James Holland b 1879 in England? OR on the ship to NZ

then the family migrated to New Zealand on the "Lady Jocelyn" arriving December 1879

I am now looking for the parents and other relatives of Wilfred Holland and/or Elizabeth Foy.  Any leads appreciated thank you.

Catherine Wilson married David Holland at Preston Register Office or at a Registrar attended Church (non conformist) in 1847.

There is a death of a David Holland aged 24 in 1852 registered Preston,  This would tie in with the last child Mary being born 1851.  Both Mary and Wilfrid have the mothers maiden name Wilson.
