Hi Glyn
I have enough ( Certs etc )to go on to be sure the Nora I am researching is the correct one.
I can see by your greeting you are not in Australia but no matter.
What is the Bolton address you have?

Morning Roger

It is a strange coincidence but I am confident that MY Nora was born in the 30's . Maybe mother and daughter ??? The only other thing I have to go on is an address in Bolton in the 1950's. However just in case what else do you have to go on. ??

Hi Glyn,
I had completely forgotten about this post seeing that I placed it back in 2002.
Did you have any luck. I'm not sure whether my Nora and yours are the same person due to the year you mention. My Nora was born 1918. I do find it curious that 2 people bearing the same name worked in the same industry and this only makes me think they ARE one and the same.
Apart from the message boards is there any other way I can contact you.

Jackson Entwistle died 1911 CO...born in England

I am not related to this family...

Longmont Ledger (Longmont, Boulder County)
May 12, 1911
ENTWISTLE--In Longmont, Tuesday, May 9, 1911, Jackson Entwistle, aged 50 years, 10 months and 11 days.
Mr. Entwistle was born in Blackburn, Lancastershire, England, July 20, 1860. With his parents he left Blackburn for Fall River, Mass., October 24, 1869, where the family resided till 1872, when they came to Longmont. His father died in 1885.
Mr. Entwistle has made Longmont his home, though he has spent some fifteen years on the road for a buggy company. He leaves a wife and five children, all living in Longmon; three brothers, Amos, Thomas and James, and one sister, Mrs. C. H. Baker.
Funeral services were held Thursday afternoon at the Christian church, conducted by Rev. C. C. Dobbs, after which the Woodmen of the World took charge of the remains and escorted them to Mountain View cemetery, where the interment took place with the ceremony of that order, of which Mr. Entwistle was a member.

I believe the father of Jackson, Amos, Thomas and James is James find-a-grave 53608637

Jackson is find-a-grave 53626475...it would be great if the birth and death info were update, this obit added and him tied to his father. The owner of this memorial will not update the memorial unless the request comes from a family member which I am not.

Amos is find-a-grave 60881173

Thomas is 53608416..his obit has been posted.

James is 53626421...the owner of this memorial will not update unless request comes from family....it would be nice if James was tied to his father 53608637

I believe Mrs.C. H. Baker is Mary Jane Baker...60876436...
If I find her obit to verify this....I will request she be tied to James her father 53608637

Re: Thomas Entwistle died 1920 Colorado...born 1862 in England

annageis76 — 2013-08-06 21:03:53Z

Per Thomas's brother's Jackson obit....his father is James 53608637. It would be nice if he were tied to his father.

ENTWISTLE--In a Denver hospital, Saturday, Dec 25, 1920, Thomas Entwistle, aged 58 years, 9 months and 14 days.
Mr. Entwistle was a miner, and his last home was Casper, Wyo. He was a bachelor. He was born in Blackburn, England, March 11, 182, came with his father and family to the United States in 1870, settling at Fall River, Mass. From there the family moved to Colorado in 1871. He was taken ill in Casper and removed to the Rocky Mountain hospital where he passed away. He was associated with his father's family in the early days of Longmont. His two brother, Jack and James, and one sister, Mrs. C. H. Baker, of Longmont, have preceded him to the great beyond, leaving one brother, Amos now living in Nunn.
The remains were brought to Longmont by W. R. Weeden on Christmas day and funeral services were held at the Weeden parlor by Rev. Monroe Markley Monday afternoon.

Find-a-grave 53608416
The owner of this memorial will not add any info to this memorial unless the request comes from a family member, which I am not. I would be nice if this obit could be added to the memorial.

KathydeWitt99 — 2012-06-24 06:50:50Z

Thankyou for this Dot. Yes, I thought Manchester Public Library would be a good place to start. I do not have a Family HIstory Computer Program but our Entwistles are to be found on the Parkes/Marshall of Egypt Farm family tree. (My grandmother Gertrude Parkes married John Thomas Entwistle, nephew of James Greenwood Entwistle. This James b.1859 in Streetsville near Toronto I believe was the son of Richard Entwistle, youngest of 23 children, from England. They all worked on the railway.

The big mystery here is to solve how my great grandfather, John T. Entwistle (Jack Entwistle) died in his thirties. His wife was Ella McDiarmid and they had 3 young boys. Rumour has it that he was murdered in a train robbery near Chatham Ontario, or less dramatically, he may have died in a train accident or an accident in the train yard. But we haven't discovered yet and I was hoping that perhaps someone in James Greenwood Entwistle's family may know.

Sounds like you have done a lot of work but I am not sure we are talking about the same James G.

I look forward to hearing from you!

With thanks,

Kathy

PS: I have now learned from newspaper cuttings that he was murdered and left on a railway track in Owosso Michigan. At the time he was working on the railroad.

Re: James Greenwood Entwistle and family

KathydeWitt99 — 2012-06-24 06:44:28Z

Hello Barbara,

James Greenwood Entwistle was my great uncle, brother of my great grandfather John T. Entwistle (Jack Entwistle) who died aged 35 (probably murdered) in Owosso Michigan in 1896 leaving his wife Ella and 3 young sons.

I am just learning about this side of our family. Do you have any links which might help me find out more? I am trying to trace the origin of the family in Britain but I am having difficulty locating Richard's father and mother James and Ann.

Many thanks,

Kathy de Witt

My dad was Ralph Entwistle. He was born in Bolton,Lancaster,England, in Jan. 1903. He came to Canada with his parents, father's name James. James had brothers, I believe Thomas,John, and another one, and some sisters. James dad was Ralph also. I believe Ralphs dad was also James. I believe one of James sisters name was Beatrice and owned Mrs. Twistle's self rising flour company. Please reply if you think we are related.

I do have information on William and Nancy Hindle Entwistle. Have located them in Accrington and traced them back several generations. I use Family Treemaker and would be happy to share the information. Would have replied to this sooner but haven't been checking the message board.

I do have more information on the Entwistles and would gladly share whatever I have, you may have more than me. We apparently are cousins because my grandmother Mary Jane Entwistle was the sister of your Hannah.

My Grandmother was Housekeeper for a lady who owned Mrs. Twistles flour, I was quite young at the time so I think about 1943 or so. I remember visiting her more than once, when the lady was away, I remember the house, being shown the main bedroom, which had a tiger skin directly over the bed, with the head pointing down to the bed, looked vary scary for a young child. I also remember lovely gardens, particularly with roses, and the gardener sometimes cut some for me. The house was on Chapeltown Road, I lived in Bolton until 1970 and regularly visit. I thought this information could be of interest.

This is all the info I got from the 1895 St. Paul census
Robert Entwistle age 12 was living with Joseph and Sarah Entwistle who were both born in England. According to the census, Robert as well as Joseph and Sarah's children were born in Minnesota. This is the earliest census or any info I have on him. I have later census records and a draft registration record which gives different DOBs and places of birth. Robert said that he was orphaned and that his mother's name was Rose and he knew nothing about his father. He also said his mother was Irish. He died in the 1970's in Missouri.

I am trying to fill in some blanks here. My great-grandmother was Maud Entwistle. I have her listed on the 1900 census as the niece of Solomon and Melinda Bloomer (http://tinyurl.com/y52tzrd) and the 1910 census Solomon is listed as 'grandfather'. On the 1920 census, Edward Entwistle is listed as 'brother in law' to her husband Frank Murphy (http://tinyurl.com/y367zo4)

So-any ideas on who the parents of Maude and Edward were? Solomon Bloomer had a twin, Hiram but he seems to have died too soon to have fathered Maude.

Kathy
Did you ever get a line on James Greenwood Entwistle? I have some information in my files, extracted when tracing my own family.
In case you don't know, the family name originates in Lancashire, in the Bolton-le-Moors and Bury parishes.
It would take me some time to find the material, but I'd be happy to send you a GEDCOM when I do.
Dot ENTWISTLE Stutter, Victoria, BC

Re: James Greenwood Entwistle and family

DSdoodads — 2010-07-04 07:40:00Z

It will take me a bit to locate the information. I have extracted all the ENTWISTLE entries in all the census returns from 1841 through 1891, all the parish registers I could find and any other document I could get my hands on, including the early BMD records. Also Burial records from the cemetaries, and wills.
My father Wilfred Hampson ENTWISTLE, was born in Rochdale and came to Canada in 1926. He was raised by his grandparents. I never met any of the family at all. I have been able to trace my branch of the family to Joseph ENTWISTLE & Phebe LEATHWOOD, abt 1777, d 1842. They had 12 children, and only one boy survived. He was my 3G grandad, and this branch of the family resided in Heywood. I have dead ended there. My brother has two boys, neither of which are married, so the line ends with him.
The problem we ENTWISTLEs all face is that there are so many of (us) in the area. It is a very localized name, originating in Lancashire. a "twistle" is a flat land around the junction of several rivers or creeks. the "Ens" refers to the water birds that inhabited the area. In other words, we are the "People who lived on the banks of the creek"! :o)
If you are going to Lancs to do some research, you will find the Manchester Central Library to be a great source of filmed parish and diocese records. The official record repository is Preston.
I know that I have the line of James Greenwood ENTWISTLE. It appears he came to US with a group of people, all weavers and cotton workers, to establish the cotton manufacturing industry on the north eastern coast of US.
A GEDCOM is the file produced for export by the Family History Computer programs, and there are several for the MAC. I am a PC person, but the programs are mostly compatible. Do you use one? Which one?
I am thrilled to be in touch with you, and will get back to you as soon as I can.

Entwistle of Sheffield

macrita — 2010-10-08 13:42:04Z

Hullo, my paternal grandmother was Florence Entwistle born 1864 Sheffield County of York - father Golden Entwistle of Sheffield - mother Judith Oversby. Florence married my grandfather Daniel Langston on 8th November 1882 at Owlerton Church of St. John the Baptist - Daniel was a Sergeant in the RA. They were posted overseas with the British Army and served for a time on the North West Border of India. Is there anyone out there who could be related? I have a certain amount of information regarding their children, but am always looking for something new. Love to hear from anyone with additional records.

I wonder if this is the same Crankshw family from Darwen I am researching - Richard and Jane Crankshaw married St Mary, Blackburn 1834. Children Sarah J. 1841, Thomas 1843, Rachel 1845, Ellen 1849 all of Darwen. If so, Janes maiden name is Robinson and she is the sister of my gggrandfather.

Re: George Entwistle

frobinson007 — 2010-10-05 19:39:56Z

Hi Dave, Yes, it is the same family. In the 1851 census there is also a Rachel Crankshaw aged 6, she is not mentioned in your list. Wonder if she died.

In the same census the Crankshaw family had my ggrandfather Joseph Robinson aged 14 living with them who is Janes nephew.I am trying to trace his father James Robinson, Jane's brother.

Hi, Not sure if this is any connection but thought it's worth a try...
My gg grandmother was Margaret Ann Entwistle born in Bolton (1870-1941) her father was John Entwistle, although I have no other info on them I managed to find out that my grandfather (Robert Jardine) had an Auntie, Eliza Jane Dyer nee Entwistle(1877-1968). As Roberts(my grandfathers) mum was Margaret Ann Entwistle I can only presume they were either sisters or cousins?? I viewed the gravestone yesterday and found that My gt grandmother Margaret Ann is buried with Eliza Jane (along with EJ's husband Edward, Mary Orrell, Henry Orrell and Sarah Orrell - I don't know where these fit in??)if anyone has any idea's I'd really appreciate a little helping hand...

Sunley Emma was my grandmother. After her first husband (Entwistle) died, she moved to Canada and married Albert Taylor. She had two daughters from her first marriage, and had several more children with Albert, one of whom was my father William Albert Taylor. They lived in New Westminster, British Columbia. Her husband Albert died in 1954 and many years later she married Louis Kay. She lived into her 90's, and all her children have now passed away as well. There are many grandchildren, great grand children, etc.

My ancestor William Tutton (a Stockport, Cheshire family) married a Selina Entwistle in Stockport in 1844. The 1851 and 1871 census records (1861 is mysteriously missing despite a very thorough search) show that Selina was born in Preston, Lancs in about 1822.

The 1841 census shows a Salina E aged about right living in Stockport with her mother Fanny and several siblings (eldest Rodger) but, of course no place of birth.

The only Entwistles that fit that I can find via IGI and Ancestry were born in Bolton Le Moors rather than Preston.

Any help using local knowledge (I am a Londoner) will be gratefully accepted. Entwistle seems to be a very common name in Lancashire!

Kind regards

Barbara NIGHTINGALE, founder of the ENTWISTLE Family History Society, passed away September 2009.

From the cached version of the ENTWISTLE FHS web pages:

"It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Barbara Nightingale of Darwen, Lancashire on Friday 25 September 2009.

"Barbara, who was perhaps the main inspiration, the founding chairperson, secretary and research co-ordinator, of the EFHA has battled cancer over recent years. Our thoughts are with her husband Peter and her family at this time.

"Barbara showed remarkable fortitude and indeed was involved in arrangements for the 10th EFHA AGM until 2 weeks ago, but sadly her condition deteriorated rapidly over the last few days.

"On Friday September 25, 2009, peacefully in the East Lancs Hospice, Barbara aged 65 years. The much loved wife of Peter, loving mum of Jill and David, and mother-in-law of John and Emma, much loved grandma of Chelsea, Amber and Dylan and the treasured daughter of Eileen. The cortège will leave from Barbara's home on Friday, October 2, for a 1.30 p.m. service and cremation at Pleasington Crematorium. Family flowers only please. Donations in memory of Barbara may be made to either The East Lancs Hospice or Cancer Research UK c/o Darwen Funeral Services, 59/61 Blackburn Road, Darwen, BB3 1EJ. Inquiries Tel: 01254 873618."

My deepest sympathies to the family.
