John Edward Holland, photograph taken by me (his son Philip) in 1975 when we went to see his daughter and husband, Josephine and Gunvald Stenersen. We had taken a boat trip with Gunvald to some of the Islands, when I took this close up of Dad.

They both lived at 33 and 35 Great Hampton Row, respectively, at that time, which is not far from what is today known as the Jewellery Quarter of Birmingham. They had several children and one of them was my grandfather John Holland who was born in Aston, Birmingham.
