More New Zealand data

Bernadette Siebert sent through another batch of Hollyer, Holyer and Hollier data she has culled from various New Zealand web sources - much of this was new to me. Bernadette has been a long-time correspondent who I originally made contact with through our mutual interest in the family name Shale - which is her own One-Name Study. She has often looked out for my 'names' when searching NZ resources, which is extremely kind given she has no direct interest in the name herself. Many Guild members do help one another of course. The largest group of NZ Holliers descend from Henry Bruce Hollier, who was apparently born in Staffs, England c1832 and married in NZ in 1874. Henry's link into the older Hollier families of Staffordshire has not yet been established.
