Descendants of Henry Hollingsworth 7th great grandfather

Notes


2085. Margaret Ellen Walter

My Grandparents were born and died in Nova Scotia but I can hardly find any links to them. My Grandma, Katie, (Catherine) was born August 13, 1889 to John McRae and Mary McPhee-says on her dc but on her mc it says her fathers name was Alex (black river). My Grandfather, Delbert was born 1869 to Alexander Hollingsworth. My Grandma, Annie Margaret Walker was maiden name Hollingsworth and was one of their children. She married my grandfather, Gordon Walker. Both were born in Nova Scotia. My mother, Margaret Ellen Walker was one of Margaret (annie) and Gordon Walker's 10 children. Anyone know anything about either of these people, I'd love to grow my family tree. Thank you

1508. John Hollingsworth

John worked in the famous Connary Mines with his father-in-law George Tuke. The Tukes descend from a Cromwellian soldier and are in two branches, one in Castlemacadam and the other at Drakestown in County Meath. He also had a horse that he used to work the fields with to make money.

Taken from the 1901 County Wicklow census, I wonder if this is the same family?

Susan Elizabeth Tuke

The minister of Susan's wedding was Francis Alen Saunders, witnesses Michael Byrne and George "x" Tuke. John signed by "x" mark too. Susan Tuke was born probably before 1837, but there is no record of her death.

Elizabeth was a cousin of Dora Tuke who married Edward Hollingsworth.

2090. Elizabeth Hollingsworth Cosgrove

Elizabeth married a Cosgrove and had one son, name unknown as is the name of her husband. As far as we know the son never married.


1512. Ellen Hollingsworth McNamara of Sydney

According to Maria Hollingsworth, there was a third daughter of William and Elizabeth who emigrated to Australia. We have no record of her and she is not in chronological order here. Ellen could be that long lost daughter!!!

I have just discovered from her funeral notice that Catherine had a sister
in the colony: MRS T. MCNAMARA. Upon investigation, I have found that
ELLEN HOLLINGSWORTH married TIMOTHY MCNAMARA in 1860, and I am awaiting
receipt of the marriage certificate to research her further. However, my
preliminary work shows that she had 12 children, some of whom lived to
adulthood and married; and, that possibly she was widowed in 1900 and
remarried. Frances Bluhdorn


Timothy McNamara

Timothy arrived in Australia on the ship Thetis in 1850.


1514. Edward Hollingsworth

Pollaphuca took its name from the extremely beautiful waterfall and rock grotto named "Poulaphuca", the townland is sometimes spelled the same, near the Vale of Avoca, a part of the river of that name.

The following is an extract from a letter from Henry (Harry) Hollingsworth, of Inglewood CA to my wife’s father, Kevin Hollingsworth on 21st October 1964. Note italics are my notes. I have left Henry’s spellings and punctuation as it was in the letter. Daniel (a cousin of the above Kevin) says that he remembered his (your) grandfather’s (Daniel’s) brother, Edward Hollingsworth, and wife Dora Tuite (actually Tuke), of Poulaphouca, Avoca, Protestant family. Edward died young and oldest child William assumed the responsibilities. Daniel says that Daniel’s father (your great-grandfather) was said to have been born the very night the battle of Arklow town was fought, in 1798, which happened to be June 9th, and was born at a farmhouse not far from the town. ………………. Your Great-grandfather’s name (?) that is Edward’s father, who married Dora Tuke, was WILLIAM. He was apparently born just about 1798, and may perhaps have emigrated to Canada, or went there on a visit in 1861, and I have a record of who might be him, aged 63 in 1861, wife Betty. At any rate, William Hollingsworth was born at “Springfield”, or “Clonlusk”, which are adjoining farms in Arklow Parish, both of which have been owned by the Hollingsworths. William Hollingsworth married ELIZA HEMPENSTALL on 1 Feb., 1824, at Inch Church, in Parish of Inch, Co. Wexford & Wicklow, by Protestant Banns. They had children William, Catherine, and Edward, and your Daniel. But I haven’t located a baptism for Dan. Yet. The oldest born1826, and Edward, the youngest, 1845, all in Co. Wicklow, the first at Springfield, and Edward after they moved to Poulaphouca, Avoca. Springfield is called also “Springfarm”. Hempenstalls are buried there, your ancestors no doubt. There is a Thomas who died about 1803. Edward is buried there also (I should say, they are buried at Castlemacadam old Cemetery. Edward married Dora Tuke on June 16, 1870 ay Castlemacadam Church, just a little while before Dan married Annie Byrne. Dan was really the youngest, two yrs. Younger than Ed., but I have to confirm all this with respect to him before I can say it is proven. I never found any death record which matched the birth record! Edward is given as “44” on his stone, but he should have been aged “47” when he died in 1892. But both his baptism and marriage show was a child of William Hollingsworth. Now William’s father’s name is not definitely proven by records, but a lady in Wicklow (Protestant Hollingsworth) says it was JOHN HOLLINGSWORTH of Springfarm (Springfield). This John’s wife isn’t known. He had nine (9) sons and 1 daughter. Your William of Poulaphouca was the eldest. Then there was Nicholas of Hollyfort, Gorey, who had 22 children by 2 marriages. His 2nd wife was Margaret Hempenstall, probably a sister of his brother’s wife Eliza. Another son was Edward Hollingsworth of Arklow Rock or Big Rock, a farm outside Arklow, who married Sarah Freeman in 1852. Edward was about 24 years younger than William, and probably youngest. The only females was Mary, who married in 1851, John Tyrell Mariner. Now Annie Tyrell her child, told all this to my correspondent, Mrs. Maria Hollingsworth of Coolanearl, Red Cross, Co. Wicklow, now (in 1964) 71 years.


Dorah "Dora" Tuke

During the 1901 census Dora also had a servant "GREGORY William Servant 68 Servant", living in the household. Daughters Katherine and Elizabeth had married and moved out of the family home. Oldest Son William never married and was still at home during the census. Daughter Annie died young at the age of ten.


2099. William "Willie" Hollingsworth

William never married.


2100. Elizabeth "Bessie" Hollingsworth

Elizabeth and her husband Alex had a son and a daughter, unknown names at this time.


1515. Daniel Hollingsworth

Daniel and Anne Byrne had seven children 3 girls, Elizabeth Marie, Anne Marie, and Catherine, also 4 boys, Francis, John, William and a second Francis.

Daniel was a "Dairyman/Keeper". Daniel was a widower at the time of the 1901 census. Catherine was the only child still living at home at that time. Another interesting point noticed on the 1901 census, Daniel could not read and most likely could not write, the census taker signed his name, also note his daughter Catherine is a Roman Catholic and Daniel is Church of England.


Anne Byrne

Anne was a Roman Catholic, the baptism of their first child Elizabeth Marie was in the Catholic Parish Church at Avoca. Daniel was a Protestant, and his daughter's baptism was "conditional". Daniel allowed his children to be baptised and brought up in their mother's religion. A very large family is now inhabiting Dublin and Liverpool, descended from this union, which was a happy one.

1) All children were reared in the R.C. Faith. Moved to Wicklow in 1876/8. In his 2nd Will he bequeathed everything to his daughter Catherine dated 25 April 1905.
(2) Said by Kevin - son of Francis 1880 - to be son of a Hugh.
(3) According to my cousin Kevin (1914) Daniel worked in flour mill in Arklow & that his father was a “Hugh” (Henry’s first letter).
(4) Kevin Hollingsworth says Grandfather Daniel died age 75 also that Daniel’s father was a Hugh. Daniel was born in a place named “Red Bog” - this is between Tinnahealy & Hacketstown. (I often remember my own father “John” speaking of Tinnahealey because he always pronounced it Tinnahaley. Bob.
Kevin also thought Hugh’s father to be Daniel.


2112. Francis Hollingsworth

Francis was a house painter, he moved to Dublin and raised a large family. Sunday March 31, 1901, during the 1901 census, Francis was 21 years old, a house painter, was living in Dublin with his sister Annie and her husband Patrick O'Neill. Annie and Patrick at that point did not have any children.


James Warren

On the 1881 census, James list his occupation as "Carpenter"


2115. Catherine (Katie) Warren

Ellenor (Ellen) Hollingsworth Neil left to her niece "Katie" Warren, her sister Mary Ann's daughter a "cupboard, etc." Don't know what the "etc" was, too bad she didn't itemize the things.


David John Hollingsworth

David was the Escott postmaster and storekeeper. He also was a first cousin once removed of Alice McAvoy, by way of her mother Elizabeth Hollingsworth.


1521. Daniel Hollingsworth

Daniel was a farmer and practiced the Church of England religion, while his wife and daughter were Methodist, no doubt a carry over from Cora's family.

A family story written to Harry Hollingsworth by a Mrs. Gray goes this way. I have a story that my grandfather, John and his brother Danile came over from Traverse City, Michigan, by horse to Plum Hollow, to buy more horses, and stopped off at the "Witch of Plum Hollow", a fortune teller, and had their cups read. She told them of a death in their family which concerned the both of them. They returned home to Michigan where they learned that their father, Samuel had taken ill with a hernia attack. His own good doctor couldn't be located, and so he died within three or four days.


Cora House

Cora was of English decent and was a Methodist. Her daughter Addie obviously went to church with her mother and was also a Methodist as reported on the 1881 census.


2125. Addie Hollingsworth

Addie's parent put on the 1881 that she was Irish decent, probably told to the census taker by her father, because her mother was of English decent, which made Addie a combination of English/Irish.


2126. George Hollingsworth

Not much is known about George other than he lived at one time in Colborne, Ontario.

Not sure but could Mrs. Marion L. Hollingsworth Young be the daughter of George???? Upon writing to Harry at HR she said her grandfather was Daniel Hollingsworth of Escott Twp, Leeds Co., Ontario. She is a member of the Wexford family, and sent a picture of Mary Ann Hollingsworth Newsome.


1522. William (John) Hollingsworth

William was known as "Western Jack" and "Gentleman John".


2127. Alice Hollingsworth

Ellenor "Ellen" Hollingsworth Neil in her Will left all the money left after giving what she had bequeathed to the various family members. These ladies were named in the Will as Alice, Hatta and Netta. Not known at this time how much money that would have been.


2128. Edward Joseph Hollingsworth

Ellenor "Ellen" Hollingsworth Neil left to her nephew Edward a town lot, 1 acre #22 in the snd concession of Escott, when he attains age 21.


Lucy Alberta Hodge

On the 1881 Lucy Alberta Hodge listed her nationality as English, and all of her children are listed as English. Father William John Hollingsworth was Irish, curious why the children were listed as English. They were all members of the Church of England, like the Church of Ireland, a protestant religion.
