Henry Evans Holder III married Williamina Bishop, 24 May 1802 in St Lucy, Barbados. Their children were:
Caddell, Frederic, Edward, Ashley, Charles, Coulthrust and Maria Carrington.The executor of 'Hon. Henry Evans Holder' (Philip Caddell) claimed unsuccessfully for the compensation on Joes River in Barbados under an indenture of conveyance for £2000. The Holder Family records in the Bristol Record Office details the sale of Joe's River by Henry Evans Holder, formerly of Barbados but residing in Edinburgh before his death.
There is a plaque to Henry Evans Holder [III] in the floor of Durham Cathedral: 'Sacred to the Memory of HENRY EVANS HOLDER. M.D. of the Island of Barbados who departed this life February 22nd 1817 Aged 36 Years.'
