Shirburn castle nr Portobello, Shirburn, Oxford.According to the census, "Shirburn is small parish some 15 miles east of Oxford and two miles north of Watlington. It includes Christmas Common and part of Wormsley. It seems to have been a 'closed' community, largely dependent on Shirburn Castle which has been the home of the Earls of Macclesfield since early in the 18th century." John's father, Joseph Holland was a Woodman for the Earl of Macclesfield.Contributed by:
