HOLLIS FAMILY BIRMINGHAM UK. My grt-grandmother EMMA HOLLIS,twin of MARTHA,was born 1839 Birmingham.Her parents were THOMAS HOLLIS and HANNAH LAPWORTH,married 1835. This was a second marriage,Thomas was married to HANNAH PARKES 1816. The Hollis family were gunsmiths in Birmingham for many years and invented the Hollis revolver.They had two shops.EMMA emmigrated to Aust by herself,married RICHMOND JAMES GOOCH and settled in VICTORIA. I am hoping that someone will know something about the HOLLIS family.Any information will be appreciated.
