I'm looking for 17th-century WHITEHURSTs, probably in the area around Stoke-upon-Trent. I've found a bunch of them in parish registers for Stoke-upon-Trent, Newcastle Under Lyme, and Trentham but have not yet checked surrounding parishes. My James has not yet surfaced. Most of today's WHITEHURSTs still live in the area. If anyone can shed light on James WHITEHURST b 1639, who emigrated to America and married Sarah GOLDSMITH, please let me know. I'll be glad to email the extracts from the registers to anyone who has ancestors from those parishes. Kathleen Much [email protected]
