184.  E. Hollingsworth 23, female, married, born Ireland, 2 pieces
      of luggage, for Protracted Sojourn.
185.  Mary Tompkins, 39, spinster, l.  P.S.
186.  Catherine (name Longfield hatched out and ditto for Tompkins
      written above it) 19, spinster, l piece, P.S.
The Tompkins (or Thompkins) family were accompanying the Hollingsworths.
Just before emigrating, Tom Hollingsworth had attended the wedding of 
his brother Nicholas Hollingsworth to Mary Hester Henrietta Tomkins (sic).
This list proves that the story including Nicholas on the same boat with
Tom is wrong. But the E. Hollingsworth, 23, marked female is a real puzzle.
If the sex were male, it would fit perfectly with Edward Hollingsworth,
Tom's brother, born 14 Sep 1866, who is also said to have gone to New 
York, although married with a family at Hollyfort, Co Wexford. (HR 1:76,
items 2,3, Births; 19-26 do. p. 75 marriages, item 14.) He went back 
after the funeral.
    John A. R. Cushing was master of the British Steamship Nevada, 2354 
ton's. She was built in 1868 by Palmer's Shipbuilding & Iron Co. in 
Newcastle, England. She was 345 by 43 feet, single screw, 11 knots,
inverted engines; two masts, one funnel; iron hull, owned by the Guion 
Line.  Her maiden voyage from Liverpool to New York was on Feb 2, 1869 - 
the very day our Frederick Hollingsworth died in Iowa! Could any of the 
Irish attach an omen to that for Tom?  Compound engines were installed 
before 1889.  She was sold to the Dominion Line in 1893 and renamed the 
Hamilton. Scrapped 1896. Guion a.k.a. Liverpool & Great Westerm (sic)
Steamship Co., Ltd.  Nevada's sister ship, the Idaho was wrecked on the
Wexford coast 1 June 1878, no loss of life.

Mr Cantwell, of Greystones, Co Wicklow, is an indefatigable worker in
south Ireland. In the space of only a few years, this man copied in
full, every legible tombstone and plaque in every churchyard in the two
counties of Wexford and Wicklow - 'our counties.'  He then typed off 
copies and lodged them for public use in the National library of Ireland,
and a number of other repositories, asking no remuneration for his fond 
labours. Rosemary Tfo11iott, formerly head of the Genealogical Office, 
Dublin Castle (closed for new headquarters in 1978 and still shut
up tight!), urged Cantwell to publish his stuff but he declined. Getting
copies of his work in the USA is a headache (what else is new?). But 
your editor weezled a few Xerox pages from the staff at National Library
via correspondence until that was summarily
