Relationships
Father: Robert de Holland.
This relationship is given by the Lancashire VCH (4:sub Upholland) and by the Complete Peerage (6:529 fn c). Holland (p. 2) gives Robert's father as Matthew, inferring the relationship, I think, from these grants in the Cockersand Chartulary.

The Lancashire VCH (4:sub Upholland) states that Thurstan “is said to have married a daughter of Adam de Kellet; eventually the lordship of Nether Kellet descended to his heirs by this wife.”

This information is given by the Lancashire VCH (4:sub Upholland fn 14).
