Lancashire Witch
Ship: 1574 tons
Captain: West
Surgeon Superintendent: Dr McLean
Sailed London 4th July 1863 - arrived Lyttelton & Timaru 13th October 1863
The Lancashire Witch was one of the
many vessels built at Quebec. She was a full-rigged ship of 1574 tons, and was eleven
years off the stocks when she came to new Zealand. She was owned by Firnie and Co., of
Liverpool, and in 1863 was chartered by the Shaw Savill Co. The Lancashire Witch made her
first passage to Lyttelton in 1863, and the 420 immigrants who embarked at London
experienced a very trying and anxious time. Shortly after her departure scarlet fever
broke out, and before reaching Lyttelton three adults and 23 children died and were buried
at sea.

HOLLAND family: On June 27, 1863, Robert and Anne (Robson) Holland left Nafferton, in Yorkshire, England, with their children, bound for New Zealand. They left in a horse-drawn wagon for Hull, 25-30 miles away, where they presumably took a ship to London or Gravesend to board the Lancashire Witch. Others from the same small town left with them in the wagon: the Shipleys and their children; Thomas Butterick with his wife and brother Henry; along with Margaret Butterick, Jane Robson (probably related to Anne), and William Storey. (Thomas Butterick and his wife and brother do not appear on the Lancashire Witch's passenger list, however.) All were assisted passengers. Robert Holland was the son of George and Jane Holland of Kirkburn, Yorkshire, England. He probably had an older brother, John, and two older sisters, Jane and Elizabeth. He was born in Kirkburn, probably on 18 November 1822. He married Ann (or Anne) Robson in Lowthorpe, near Nafferton, on 1 January 1846. Their marriage certificate describes him as living in Lowthorpe as a servant, his father as a laborer, and Ann's father, James Robson, as a farmer. Robert and Ann were active in the Baptist Church in Nafferton as well as in Greendale, N. Canterbury, where they finally settled, farming land adjoining that of the Shipleys. Their children, who except for the first all came with them, were: 1) Henry Holland, 1846-1850. 2) George William Holland bap. 7 Oct 1849; m. 1) Mary Withell, 2) Ruth Agnes Pannet Farmed at Brookside, then Greendale; in 1914 moved to Christchurch. Had at least one child, Clarence. 3) Mary Jane Holland, b. 1851/52, d. betw. 1888-1900. 4) Frederick Holland, b. 1854, d. 4 Aug 1938; he had two wives and 17 children and was my great-grandfather. I have info on all the children. 5) Charles Holland b. 1856/1857 d. betw.1888-1900; m. Ada Giles, had 10 children (no info on them). 6) Henry Holland b. 1859/1860 d. 1935 or later; m. Jane Eastwood. Lived Greendale, N.Z., till 1898, then Christchurch; mayor of Christchurch 1912-19; in Parliament as Independent Liberal, 4 Nov 1925-1 Nov 1935. Had 8 children including Sidney George Holland, who was Prime Minister of N.Z. 13 Dec 1949-26 Sep 1957. Sidney was b. 18 Oct 1893 d. 5 Aug 1961, m. 20 May 1920 Florence Beatrice Drayton. 7) Sarah Ann Holland b. 1862/1863, no more info.
