Comments: Hi, contrary to the guestbook note above, the direct descendants of both Hollingworth Hall and of the Old Hall Mottram (Hollinworth) are alive and very well in Australia. The Hollingworth Hall direct line descendant Simon Holynworth is carrying out DNA research at the moment, trying to see if Valentine can be matched against any known line. The Old Hall line, from Higham Hollinworth, through Rear Admiral John Ibbetson Hollinworth, comes down to my father William Hollinworth,and my three brothers. So far, no link with Valentine has been made at all, although Simon thinks that the Old Hall line may contain the final link. We'll have to wait and see
Please do not state that the crest is a novelty. Both lines take pride in our lineage and our crest. It's simplicity is due to the very early date the crest was created - later crests had to be more and more detailed to ensure they were different.
Yours! Felicity

Comments: I am the great grandson of Cyrus Hollingsworth a councilman for the 13th district of Richmond Indiana. So how's that for "patents of nobility." lol, lets just say it goes down hill fast from there. My grandfather on my father's side married my Aunt on my mothers side and now I have a cuncle! That's my "cousin/uncle" but I digress.. Oh yes, I have a large amount of genealogy work done by my great grandfather! including several old tintypes of Hollingsworths and loads of old black and whites of Hollingsworth Hall, inside and out from before the water company got a hold of her!If you want em you can have em.I ain't doing nothing with it.

Comments: Looking at the family crest, the American Hollingsworth's did have the family crest on the fireplace at Abraham Delight (Abramham Hollingsworth). It's not the one's that is showed here but a simpler one.
