The Complete Peerage names “Elizabeth da. and coh. of William de Samlesbury” as wife of Robert de Holand but does not cite the primary source on which this information is based. A document dated 3 Nov 1257 records the settlement of a claim by “Avina de Samelesbyri” against “Robert de Hampton and Margery his wife” relating to “a mill and...land...in Brihtmede,” under which Avina received the mill for life, reverting to “Robert and Margery, Cecilia and Elyzabeth younger sisters of Margery as heirs of the said Avina.” records that Breightmet in 1302 was held by “Robert de Holland and John Deuias, the respective husbands of Elizabeth and Cecily.” Inquisitions held 5 Mar "4 Edw II", after the death of "Henry de Lacy Earl of Lincoln", record in Lancashire "Samlesbery...land held by Lady Cicely de Euyas and Lady Elizabeth de Holand."

An inquisition held 24 Apr "7 Edw II," after the death of "Alan la Zousche alias la Zuche, la Souche," names "Ellen […the wife of Nicholas de Sancto Mauro] and Maud […the wife of Robert de Holand] his daughters are his next heirs and Maud the younger is aged 24…both aged 26 and more…and a younger daughter Elizabeth aged 20 who has taken the garb of the nuns at Brewode." A writ dated 23 May "5 Edw III," following the death of "Emelina Longespe or de Lungespe," names "Robert de Holond and Maud his wife” and “the said Maud aged 40 years is her next heir,” while a second writ dated 3 Jan “6 Edw III” and inquisitions dated 9 Mar “7 Edw III” state that Emmeline died “on Whitsunday 5 Edward III” and that “Maud sometime the wife of Robert de Houlond...and Helen her sister both aged 40 years and more are next heirs of the said Emelina.”

- Title: Holland, Bernard. "The Lancashire Hollands." London: John Murray, 1917, p. 268-284
Author: Pages 268-284.
Publication: Name: https://archive.org/details/lancashirehollan00holl/page/268/mode/1up?view=theater;
Note: Page 268 shows 13 generations in the pedigree of Holland of Denton and Heaton. It reveals that Richard Holland and Isabella Harrington had five sons, Thurstan, William, Robert, Thomas and Peter, and one daughter, Ellen.
However, John Howland of Newport is not one of them in the Hollands of Denton pedigree.
Those careless or unscrupulous amateur genealogists have created a spurious hybrid Howland pedigree by merging the Hollands of Denton pedigree with the Howlands of Newport pedigree, falsely identifying John Howland of Newport as the son of Richard Holland and Isabella Harrington, and then linking John Howland of Newport to a family of Hollands, feudal lords of Denton and Heaton, with the purported lineage reaching back to the 1300s. This fabricated pedigree is widespread on the Internet, but the entire thing is nonsense-- nothing is known of the ancestry of John Howland of Newport, nor is there any authentic connection to Newport in County Essex.
