Joseph Waterworth born 1851 Parr Flat, Parr, Lancashire

jennygirl60 — 2013-12-07 21:14:07Z

Once more I have taken up the research for my great grandfather Joseph Waterworth b.1851 who married Sarah Owen in 1871 Parish Church, Ashton in Makerfield. I am desperately looking for anyone who may have oral history about Joseph being the Illegitimate child to Sarah Waterworth and a person of aristocracy.
Yours in hope.....Jenny

I don't know if, or how, this Robinson family could connect to my Waterworth family that came from England to Lowell, Massachusetts, but I wanted to post it anyway in case it could help someone else out there:

I just sent you a private message with my email address in it so you can contact me directly that way and I can share the works in progress...and the O'Boyle family information.

Kerry and I are your Aunt Ethel's Grand-children.

Re: waterworth's in MA

Maryann14129 — 2010-04-23 14:26:04Z

Hi Heather and (Kerry),

I'm Maryann Flaherty, granddaughter of Catherine V. (Waterworth) Raney. Are you my Uncle Tom Waterworth's grandkids? ...or greatgrandkids?
If you are, please accept my belated condolences for the loss of Kay and her son Tom as well as his wife Pat. I remember them all from a very young age (I'm 50). It's unfortunate we lost touch so long ago. My mother Mary, Catherine's only child, died when she was only 41. You mentioned Mary Boyle below and that she had a "load of kids"...I seem to recall and not sure if it was an exaggeration, that my mother told me I was named after my grandmother or great grandmother, Maryann, who had 23 children...could this be her and could it possibly be true? Do you have any additional info on her? I see it's been a few years since you have posted this but I hope you will find it and respond...maybe you are related to Uncle George Lacourse...I see that Kerry made reference to a Gerorge--he was always fun...is he still with us? Thanks for the info below and anymore you can send, I have very little for my mother's side of the family.
Best Wishes and Thank you.
Sincerely,
Maryann Flaherty

Hi sqrtgeckos
My GGG G/F was ROBERT WATERWORTH. Convicted at York Assizes in 1819 for sheep stealing & transported to Sydney. It's possible he was from Blackburn in Lancs but not sure. He would have been born between 1788 & 1790. I can provide a lot more info about his trial etc if any help but I have absolutely no info on his birthplace/date or parents & would love to find out.

If you obtain a copy of the marriage certificate, it should give both their fathers names & occupations.

Can then try and find them on censuses.

JohnPugh58 — 2006-09-23 11:22:41Z

Does anybody have any information on a Waterworth family who owned a paper merchant business late 1800s/early 1900's around the Eccles area of Manchester. They appear to also have been around Cheshire and they were involved in the paper/twine business around Manchester.

The earliest names I have are John Waterworth (b abt 1803) and Amelia ??married in Lancashire around 1828 with a son Herbert (b abt 1833) who married an Irish lady called Emma ?? around 1857 in Lancashire. They had a son John Waterworth (b abt 1858) who married a Martha Jane Brown around 1889 with the marriage registered in Prestwich Manchester. He in turn had a son John Leonard Waterworth (b 1890) who moved to North Battleford in Saskatewan, Canada and had a family of 4 with an Elsie Cheney until after her death in 1827 in Canada before returning to UK in 1938 with a second wife Mary Pearson Jennings whom he married in 1936 in Toronto in Ontario. John Leonard Waterworth actually returned to Canada after Mary's death in 1974. John Leonard and Mary eventually owned a Greengrocers shop believed to be in Eccles after he finished working in the family paper business after returning from Canada.

Re: Marriage of John WIlliam Waterworth and Mary Haworth

tobyloby — 2009-07-10 14:26:56Z

Thanks for the reply. No dates, no census info. I have a date of birth of their son, and his name, and his birth certificate, and I therefore know where they lived at one point, but this was after 1901.

I've just found that another site has 1911 census info but am having no luck with that either (he was in the Royal Navy so may not have been at home?!)

At a loss! :(

Re: Marriage of John WIlliam Waterworth and Mary Haworth

Mother: Mary Waterworth formerly Haworth
Father's Occupation: Chief Petty Officer RN HMS Vivid of 66 Emma Place Stonehouse Plymouth

Registration District Devonport, sub-district Tamar in County of Plymouth

Re: Marriage of John WIlliam Waterworth and Mary Haworth

tobyloby — 2009-07-10 15:34:46Z

Dear Sue,

Thank you very much for your help, I truly appreciate it. I had tried to find examples of marriage but there were so many!

Was I just being stupid?! :)

How do I confirm that this is truly them? Do I have to order the certificate and follow it up somehow?

Thanks again!!

Re: Marriage of John WIlliam Waterworth and Mary Haworth

tobyloby — 2009-07-10 19:47:51Z

Yep, though I do not currently know them so it will not help to confirm anything.

Now I just have to start trying to find info. about John Haworth Waterworth's Wife, who apparently may have French ancestry somewhere, just to make it even harder!

I have his wife's birth certificate (10th October 1913?)luckily, Eva May Waterworth formerly Hawker, and her mother Sarah Elizabeth Pashley, and father Henry Oliver Hawker, but apparently that name may have been anglicised from the French. It says Eva May was born in Kent and the 1911 Census does contain a Sarah Elizabeth Hawker, and some children, but no mention is made of a husband.

Sorry, just rambling, as I'm new at this!

Thanks for all your help,

Toby :)

Re: Marriage of John WIlliam Waterworth and Mary Haworth

tobyloby — 2009-07-11 00:25:42Z

Wow thanks again.

I find it slightly annoying that she is married but not living with the husband, and then in the next census has several children but he is still not there!

I'm also slightly confused as to why WIlliam Pashley is referred to as 'grand son'?

Marriage of John WIlliam Waterworth and Mary Haworth

tobyloby — 2009-07-10 14:26:21Z

I have no other information and am really at a loss - I can't find anything on here about it because there are no connections - only one name or the other...Unless I'm being stupid! I would appreciate any help you can give me!

Re: waterworth

cranalyst1 — 2008-03-02 01:32:57Z

Hi Kim,
I'm not familiar with the UK map yet, but I am part of the American Waterworth's that came from England.

My Grandmother was Ethel Waterworth
Her Father's name was Nathan Waterworth and was born on November 4, 1882. His birth certificate was difficult for my Mother to read to me, but the information on it, is as follows:

Nathan Waterworth
DOB: November 4, 1882
Parents: James Waterworth and Elizabeth (Cunliffe SP?) Waterworth
Hadfield
Sub District of Glossop
Registration District Hayfield (Hadfield???)
Born at 395 Station Road
Hadfield
County of Derby
Entry of birth filed in Somerfield, England.

I don't know if you have any connections to these other names in your search so far? I can only go back to as far as Nathan's parent's names. My Mother said that she heard that they came to the USA when Nathan was around 10 years of age. They came to Massachusetts.

If you feel there may be a connection, I hope we can help each other out, feel free to contact me. I have (what I think) is a lot of useful information (obituaries, death certificates etc.) that we may be able to tie together.

I hope we're on to something here!

Re: waterworth's in MA

cranalyst1 — 2008-03-02 01:14:27Z

Kerry,
It's your little Sister, Heather. I don't know if Mom gave you the information, or not, on Nathan (some of the "sisters" recalled his name being Nathaniel) our GGFather? She has his birth certificate and she had no idea where she got it from. I thought you gave it to her. I guess this is why I called you last night and just now remembered and I'm posting it here so I do not forget again! It's VERY detailed but she had a hard time reading it to me due to the photo copy/age/writing? Here it is:

Nathan Waterworth
Born November 4, 1882
Place of birth was 395 Station Road (Google Maps will show you a street image, pretty cool)
Hadfield (could be Hayfield?)
Sub District of Glossop
County of Derby
Entry of birth was filed in Somerfield, England
Parents: James Waterworth
Mother: Elizabeth (Cunliffe SP?)Waterworth

As you know, he married Mary O'Boyle from PA and our Grandmother gave them a LOAD of grand-children!
