Henry Lee of Carnew, County Wexford sent a letter to Thomas Kidd who was living in Vicksburg and believed to be a slave trader on Dec 28, 1847 and in this letter he mentioned that "Mrs. Burland of Loggain and their son John had died". I believe this Mrs. Burland to be Elizabeth Hollingsworth daughter of William Hollingsworth and his wife Elizabeth Jones of Cranacrower.

Henry Lee in another letter dated Oct. 26, 1848 to Thomas Kidd stated; "There has been a general rebellion throughout Southern Ireland. Large forces were sent from England, they sent General Lord Hardings the most experienced general to take over the army, but his services were not required.

Ballycanew Parish Church
Richard Gainfort of the Parish of Wexford and Jane Hollingsworth were married in this Church by License this 29th day of July 1812, by me Authur Colley, Curate in the presence of Jill McKenna and J. Beatty.

Richard and Jane had the following children:

  439 M i Joseph Gainford was born Farmer in Cranacrower, Ballycanew, County Wexford.

Anne's husband Joseph was a farmer and not like his father, a saddler.
        Joseph married Anne Hollingsworth [scrapbook] daughter of John Hollingsworth and Esther Hollingsworth on 8 Nov 1859 in Ballycanew Church of Ireland, County Wexford.

258. Susanna Hollingsworth [scrapbook] (William , John , Thomas , Thomas , Henry ) was born in 1791 in Cranacrower . She died on 1 Feb 1872 in Ballycanew, County Wexford. She was buried on 3 Feb 1872 in Ballycanew, County Wexford.

John Hollingsworth of Ballinakill married Susannah Hollingsworth of
Cranacrower - his first cousin - and named their first two children
Samuel, and William. (See following article, page 6 paragraph 3 for
further discussion.)
The name Thomas appears as a second name in the
third son - Edward Thomas Hollingsworth. Note also in the above family
record, that the name Thomas does not appear at all in the Johnston
children, though the name Samuel does. The given name of the wife of
Samuel Hollingsworth of Ballinakill was Anne. Not the usage of this
name too. Anne Hollingsworth's maiden surname is quite probably Anne
Earl, daughter of Edward and Esther Earl of Knockduff. Note the name
Esther above. Susan Hollingsworth, whom we believe to be a child of
Samuel & Anne, married Edward Dalton of Raheenduff, Co. Wexford. Again,
see the record above.

The rents which John Hollingsworth rode to Dublin to collect are
easily explained. Upon his marriage to Susannah, her father, William
Hollingsworth of Cranacrower - who was not only John's father-in-law,
but his uncle - bestowed upon them a rent charge from "the lands of
Clonard or Great Fowkestown, in County Dublin." William had a full
one third title to them, along with the sister of his deceased wife
Elizabeth (Jones), Mary Dalton and her brother-in-law William Robinson.
The Edward Dalton above referred to who married Susan Hollingsworth, was
a son of this said Mary (Jones) Dalton. The land descended to them from
John Jones of Abbeybrenney, Co. Wexford (died 1798), Leigh, after Jones'
death. Clonard totalled 182 acres.

Susanna married John Hollingsworth son of Samuel Hollingsworth Link toTom and Anne Earl on 23 Oct 1819 in Ballycanew. John was born in 1789 in Ballinakill, County Wexford. He died on 16 Dec 1877 in Ballycanew, County Wexford.

From HR the "Tithe-Composition Appoltment Books, Ballycanew, County Wexford, Ireland 1833" list in Ballyankill, Mrs. Hollingsworth (I believe this lady to be my ancestor's mother and John Hollingsworth who I believe to be his older brother.) There is another Mrs. Hollingsworth listed in Ballycanew, she I believe is the widow of Nicholas Hollingsworth who died in 1826. Actually either one of these two ladies and gentlemen could be my ancestor's parent. At this point I am not sure which one. They both used the same first names for the children that carried over to my ancestor James Nicholas Hollingsworth (born 1811, Ballycanew) Have now determined the first listed Mrs. Hollingsworth above to me my ancestor and Nicholas to be the direct ancestor of my cousin Donald Page Hollingsworth in Edmonton.

The family house was two stories, slated roof,and stone built, not in bad repair. The house in later years was divided into two parts so two families could occupy it. No graves or plates on the house are known to have existed. Harry thinks it is possible his "Frederick" was born in this house about 1803 and who knows maybe James (1811) was born there too.

Ad in the (Gorey Correspondent newspaper)

Sat. March 23, 1861, Column 4: "FOR SALE -- A serviceable Mare, now Five years old, trained to all kinds of farming work, or would make a first - rate poster, to be seen at J. Hollingsworth of Ballinakill."

1877
"This week we have the painful duty of recording the death of one of the oldest and best members of civil society in our locality. At this repe age of eighty-eight years, without a blot on his moral character and in the faith, fear and love of God his Savior, without a pain or struggle and in great peace, our much esteemed and lamented friend John Hollingsworth, Esq., of Ballinakill, paid the debt of nature, and went to his reward above - greatly lamented by his sorrowing family and a large circle of friends and acquaintances."

The above appeared December 16th (1877), in the Gorey Correspondent and Arklow Standard, County of Wicklow. It announces the death of the father of Mr. Edward Thomas Hollingsworth, the Cashier of the ENQUIRER Company.

Abraham died in 1894 at 86 Rathgar Road, in County Dublin at aged 66. When on his farm in County Wexford he used to ride a gray horse. Two young brothers Thomas and Timothy Hudson, whose father had leased the property after Abraham, claim while watering and feeding some cattle in the yard Thomas saw his ghost riding the gray horse. At the same time all of the cattle put their tails on their back and galloped out of the yard. The chilling tinge to this story is the reaction of the cattle!

260. Martha Hollingsworth (William , John , Thomas , Thomas , Henry ) was born in 1797 in Ballinakill, County Wexford. She died in 1866.

The witnesses to her wedding on June 5, 1823 were her brothers John and Samuel Hollingsworth. She was married to George Kidd in Askamore, a townland in the Parish of Carnew. They were married by licence by Rev. Arthur Colley.

Martha married George Kidd son of John Kidd Sr. and Alice Lee on 5 Jun 1823 in Askamore, County Wexford by Arthur Colley. George was born in Askamore, Parish of Carnew, Co. Wexford-Wicklow. He died in Was uncle to Thomas, George & John below..

George Kidd was one of the many children of old Thomas Kidd, dubbed "Thomas a-hundred" by the late Professor Franklin Kidd of Cambridge University, England.

"He walked around his farm the day he died at age a 100," it was always said. George married Martha Hollins- worth, later Hollingsworth, from Cranacrower, the daughter of my Fred- erick's uncle William Hollinsworth (d. 1827).

Whatever wealth George Kidd had inherited was supplemented by the fortune which Martha had brought to the union. But George Kidd was an investor and apparently backed or sank, a bundle of his upper crust money in the wrong scheme and went belly up.

George and Martha had the following children:

+ 448 F i Susanna ( Susan) Kidd was born on 5 Sep 1829. She died on 25 Feb 1905.

266. William Samuel Hollingsworth (Nicholas Henry , John , Thomas , Thomas , Henry ) was born in 1793 in Ballinakill, County Wexford, Ireland. He died in 1876.

William married Elizabeth "Betty" Jones daughter of John Jones and Elizabeth Cliffe.

Two Jones brother Samuel and John were captured along with 221 other individuals by the rebels on 4 June 1798. The two brothers were shot while on their knees with one of their wives standing between them and holding their hands. She ask to be shot, the rebels refused, later that day a group of rebel women wanted her shot and again the rebels refused. All told that day at Scullaboge, County Wexford near New Ross in the house and barn of Captain King all 221 citizen were murdered.

The Captain of the rebels was John Murphy of Loughnageer, when the battle turned against them, he received orders to kill the hostages, but refused and refused a second time. A third order was received and this time from a Priest named Brian Murphy from Taghmon, and this time the hostages were killed. One hundred and eighty-four (184) were burned alive in the barn, one of the people was John Dalton, son-in-law to John Jones. Another leader of the rebels was Father Michael Murphy the curate of Ballycanew chapel, later in another battle near Arklow Michael's head was blown off by an English cannon ball.

I have been told by a friend in Gorey (14 Jun 2004) that all of the rebels were not only Catholics, many of them were Protestants. No doubt looking for revenge and opportunity. In any case it was another sad time for Ireland.
