More Australian Holliers!

Michael Hollier, from Perth, Western Australia, contacted me about his ancestry. I had seen his Holliers in the Victoria, AUS BMD indexes, but didn't know that this family descended from John Hollier born 1813 in Lewknor, OXF. Explains why John appears in the 1841 census then disappears. Michael had failed to make the firm connection because of incorrect parents being quoted on John's death certificate of 1889. I've had lots of Australians contact me who descend from the families from nearby Sydenham, but this is the first emigrant from Lewknor that I've come across. Might there be more?
