Do the naval records for young Hollingsworth contain any examples of his handwriting, to compare with that of Thomas Richey?

Well Darren

Sadly no handwriting, or next of kin. I felt sure they'd have shown NoK for sure.

Handwriting matches confirm Richey's 1919 military pensions (at my grandmothers childhood address) and his earlier 1914 military papers (showing NoK as sister Catherine Hollingsworth Ferguson) were written by the same person.

level of confidence on any of the following;

 Robert Thomas Hollingsworth Walker (d.JUN qtr 1864 Holborn) is the same as:

a) Robert Thomas Hollingsworth d. 23-5-1864, from the naval cert.

b)  Robert Smith aged 6 on the 1871 census


We need to see if we can find any records of Hollingsworth(Walker) to disprove he becomes Richey.

and what is the Walker connection. i tried seraching for Sarah (and/or Eliza) Walker b. London circa 1835, but fruitless matching so far.

I am pretty confident/hopeful (in a "glass half-full of G&T" sort of way) these are all the same person. Hope that certificate comes quickly! It will be fascinating. I too have searched in vain for a suitable Ms Walker.

Hi Anna
Through your brilliant work i have found the births of Alice and Eliza the two other children of Thomas Hollingswowrth and Eliza again their names were Hollingsworth walker. Now Sarah Eliza (Smith) must have been Walker so now its finding a birth for her. i have found one Eliza Walker born 1839 City of London (i Wonder) Many Many Thanks Anna.
