Biography:
HOLLINGSWORTH, Nathaniel John (1771-1839: ancestry.co.uk)
His father was John Hollingsworth of Battersea, Surrey, but his mother’s name is unknown. He became a fellow of St John’s, Oxford (BA 1793, MA 1796), and married Lucy Compton Neve at Oxford in 1795. He was curate at Sedgefield, Durham, until 1806. The title page of an 1809 published sermon, England’s Cause for Thankfulness During the Reign of George the Third, designates him “Vicar of Haltwhistle, in the County of Northumberland; Perpetual Curate of Hartlepool, in the County of Durham; Minister of Tavistock Chapel, London; and Chaplain to the Dowager Viscountess Barrington.” At the time of his death, he was vicar of Boldon, Durham, and living in the Boldon Rectory. His wife had predeceased him; one son and two daughters survived him. Apart from sermons, his only other publication is a critique of a negative review in Blackwood’s Edinburgh Magazine of his Fleurs (The Scorpion Critic Unmasked [1821]). (ancestry.co.uk 14 Mar. 2019)
