Hollier wills from the Isle of Wight

Thanks to a fellow member of the Guild commitee who visited Hampshire Record Office at Winchester, I was able to acquire copies of 19 Hollier wills from the Isle of Wight. These range from 1576 to 1850 and many have very valuable genealogical information in them, especially when childless family members made wills naming their many brothers, sisters, nephews and neices. I have had to revise some of my previous assumptions about the connections in this family, but it still doesn't answer all the questions. However, this is a big leap forward in understanding many of the Hollier connections on the Isle of Wight. The earliest IOW record I have is a Lay subsidy entry for Thomas Holier of Newchurch in 1547. It seems likely that originally these Holliers descend from those nearby on the mainland in the New Forest area. The Hants Record Office has a record of a John Hollier holding land at Sway in 1493 and most of the parishes in the area seem to have Holliers by the mid 16th century. In terms of modern Holliers, all seem to descend from the families at Fordingbridge, but parish registers only survive from 1643, so piecing together the New Forest Holliers will always be partial, I suspect.
