I am hoping to find someone who lives near the CRO and is willing to look at a couple of records for me. I want to know if it will be worth having them copied and emailed to me by the CRO. There are two records in the CRO catalogue that mention a property called "Holla" 16th and 17th century. Holla was near Probus I think. I have an idea that my surname, Hollow, may have derived from Holla the place and not, as the conventional theory would have it, of an association with hallow, meaning a moor.
