My apologies if this message makes it to the list more than once. I've just realized that the first time I sent it, it had the wrong from address. Hi I've finally managed to break down one of my brick walls. The John Dewhurst (born 2 Feb 1809, Lyth) I was looking for turns out to be the illg son of Agnes Philipson, who married Thomas Dewhurst in Heversham Parish, 7 Nov 1809. Other children from this marriage are (all are from Heversham Parish in Westmorland, now called Cumbria) Jane born 5 Nov 1810, Park End. Robert and Thomas (twins) born 5 Nov 1811 Park End. Thomas was buried 7 Feb 1812 age 3 mos. Elizabeth bapt. 26 Feb 1815, Sprout House Alice bapt. 5 Apr 1818, Sizergh (sp?) Fellside Thomas bapt 16 Jan 1820, Sizergh Fellside Decendants of John Dewhurst are shown at http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~jmbhome/1dewhurst.html If anyone has connections to the above, I would be happy to exchange notes.

Hi everyone, I have received an indirect communication from a Dr. Roger Morton of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada who has come across a ring with engravings having to do with Annie Dewhurst and xmas 1857... He is interested in contacting possible relatives of Annie. If this "rings any bells" in your branch of the family, email me off the list and I will pass the information along to Dr. Morton. Rats, wish I could claim it ;) Jana
I'm looking for info on John Dewhurst & Sons Ltd who were the owners of the Belle Vue Mill @ Skipton, Yorkshire, so I don't think this family ties in with the one you are researching.

I am just starting to research my Dewhurst line so don't have much info just yet. Thomas DEWHURST born about 1799 died 1880 at Holcombe, Bury, father of James DEWHURST b 1834 at Edenfield died 1893 at Ramsbottom, husband of Ann DEWHURST who died 1894 at Ramsbottom. Mary Elizabeth DEWHURST b abt 1860 Accrington area died 1935 at Heywood, daughter of James and Ann Thomas Henry DEWHURST born 1863 at Accrington died 1925 at Accrington, married Ellen Blackburn. Thomas was the son of James and Ann. Children of Thomas Henry and Ellen were Maud b 1889 at Ramsbottom, Tom b 1892 at Ramsbottom. Ann b 1895 Haslingden area. Eric b 1903 Accrington. and possibly Mary born 1888 Darwen, died 1899 Bury. James and Ann also had another son James b 1867 Bury died 1889 and daughter Margaret born 1869 Haslingden area. Would be very interested to hear from anyone who has links with this family. Enid
The family I've been trying to trace is descended from George R DEWHIRST, born in 1848 in Leamington, Warwickshire, according to 1881 census. He married Jane Barr, born about 1852 in Yorkshire. Lived in Bradford, YKS, in 1881, and until he died in 1923. I believe they had 5 children; Catherine, born about 1876, Maude, born about 1877, Anne, born 1879 (died 1892), William Barr DEWHIRST (my husbands' line) born 1882 in Bradford, died 1947 in USA, and Charles G G DEWHIRST, born 1891. I am looking for living descendants of the family who stayed in England, also, they lost contact after WW2. Sue, in NH, USA

Hello Listers, I am posting this message again. I am looking for any Dewhursts, who know of a Deanna Dewhurst who married a Cyril Firmedow in 1964, in the Manchester registration district.

Unfortunately this is not the line I am looking for. It's the Dewhurst family of Skipton who founded the Belle Vue Mill in 1828. John Dewhurst (1787-1864) and his wife Alice Bonny (1789-1865) had two sons John Bonny (1819-1904) & Thomas Henry (1830) and two daughters Alice Hopkinson (1825) & Elizabeth Ann (1829). I think Elizabeth Ann might have run off with the family coachman, hence my earlier request.

Hello all, I am the happy recipient of incidences of our surname from the Boer War donated by a kind soul in the UK! Supposedly my two great uncles died in this war. This list does not mention either a William Henry (WH) or an Arthur Frederick (AF), so I ma not sure what it means for me.... Hope it helps someone else.... the link is http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~jmbhome/dewhirstboerwar.html Happy hunting, Jana Black
To Lee and All, It's good to see so many people interested in the name! I'm really glad that the info I posted about DEWHURSTs in NYC helped someone. I've always felt that there was probably some relationship between the different ones - but I've not found it yet. In addition to our Richard James (nuts and bolts) in Manhattan, and Henry (plasterer) Manhattan - there's also Richard James (metal work) lived Staten Island - had a business Manhattan. Our DEWHURST family came from Blackburn. They were there for quite a while - then moved to Chorley in Lancashire. The next move was to the US - they settled in Lowell, MA for some years. At the time, the occupation was "print block cutter" I believe they carved the wooden blocks that were then used to print on the cloth. After Lowell, the family moved to NYC and were settled there by 1860. If anyone thinks they see a promising lead, please let me know. If you want to see more details, check out Jana's DEWHURST page.

Hi The Dewhurst line I'm researching is from north Lancashire and Westmorland (old boundaries) areas. The earliest Dewhurst is John DEWHURST, born abt 1808, in Lyth Westmorland. He married Margaret ELLWOOD (bapt 17 Oct 1813, Cartmell Parish) in Cartmell Parish 14 Nov 1831. Their children are (this is probably not a complete list): Thomas Dewhurst, bapt 4 Jul 1835, Cartmell Parish (married Mary HUTCHINSON, 10 Mar 1862, Cartmell Parish) John Dewhurst, bapt 8 Dec 1839, Cartmell Parish Timothy Dewhurst, bapt 18 Feb 1844, Cartmell Parish Robert Dewhurst, b. 2 Dec 1846 (my line, see below) Eleanor Dewhurst, bapt 16 Oct 1853, Cartmell Parish William Dewhurst, bapt 13 Sep 1857, Cartmell Parish Robert DEWHURST married Mary YOUDELL (b. 6 Jan 1842, Penrith, Cumberland) on 16 May 1869 in Kendal, Westmorland. Their children are: Margaret A Dewhurst, b. abt 1869, Bowness, Westmorland Agnes Dewhurst, b abt 1872, Bowness, Westmorland Elizabeth Dewhurst, b, abt 1873, Cartmell Fell, Lancashire Robert Dewhurst, b. abt 1876, Cartmell Fell, Lancashire Hannah Dewhurst, b abt 1879, Cartmell Fell, Lancashire Richard Dewhurst, b. 7 Mar 1882, Cartmell Fell, Lancashire, married Isabella Wade, Alice Sarah Moore, died 3 Mar 1964, North Vancouver, BC, Canada Ellen Dewhurst (my grandmother, always went by Helen), b. 12 Nov 1884, Crosthwaite, Westmorland, married William PENNINGTON, 22 Oct 1908 at Barneside, Westmorland, died 1 Apr 1968, West Vancouver, BC, Canada My brickwall (at this moment) is finding John Dewhursts birth. My information for his age and location of birth comes from the 1881 census and a quick perusal of BT's for Heversham Parish doesn't show a John Dewhurst born in that time frame. As I was pursuing other lines last year, I haven't checked other sources yet but will be doing so shortly. Incidentally, I found a baptism in Cartmell Parish for a Jane Dewhurst, 6 Jan 1833, daughter of James and Mary Dewhurst, Cark, Labourer. I don't know if she fits in to any family but if anyones looking for her, here she is. Bud Pennington
My Dewhurst information begins in Ribchester, Lancaster, England. I have info from the 1851 Liverpool, England census, NYC/USA censuses, and helpful NYC information posted here by Teresa Dewhurst - thanks Teresa! Henry Dewhurst, born abt 1809 in Ribchester, Lancaster, Eng, married Catherine Mooney, born Ireland, and died before 1878. Henry and some sons were plasterers.

M. 11 Feb 1868 NYC Milton Joseph Cook div in 1878 Van Buren Co, MI, and she m 2nd Jarvis Macomber Skinner. She died 4 Apr 1895 in Albion, NY. Emma is my gr gr grandmother. William Joseph Dewhurst - b abt 1849 - born surname: Gore, listed as abandoned by parents in 1851 census, but later Dewhursts apparently adopted him, as he lists them as his parents when he married 27 Oct 1872 to Mary Agnes McNally in NYC, and later Elizabeth Connolly in NYC. Cathrine b abt 1851, Liverpool Ann Dewhurst, b 1852 (after 1851 census, but ID'd in later census and family records), probably in Liverpool, married Mr. Mahnkien, NYC, but not living with him in 1880 census. Brick Walls: Henry is not in the IGI. A cousin is looking in the three or so films that Salt Lake City has re Ribchester church records, looking for Henry's parents. Anyone else have Ribchester Dewhursts? There were a lot of them there! I do not know what became of any of my Emma's siblings. I know she was very close to her sister, Ann Mahnkien. I cannot find her in later censuses. I believe she may have remarried, and new surname unknown. Would really like to find some of these relatives.

Form: Reply Text: (35 lines follow) Can anyone verify the story of a Miss Dewhurst of Belle Vue Mill, Skipton who eloped with a coachman and was disinherited? We are supposed to be descended from the Dewhurst's of Sylko cotton thread fame. Perhaps the coachman was called Oldfield or Thorp ?? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. ---------- Original Text ---------- From: A=INTERNET/C=US/DDA=ID/DEWHURST-L(a)rootsweb.com, on 25/09/2000 17:10: Message Type: Interpersonal Message - --------------------------- [X.400 Text Follows] - --------------------------- Content-Type: text/plain DEWHURST-D Digest Volume 00 : Issue 49 Today's Topics: #1 [DEWHURST] anybody know my Dewhurs ["Peter Howells" <map@cdi.com.au>] #2 [DEWHURST] rollcall [Imogen Pettitt <imo@umquat.demon.c] Administrivia: To unsubscribe from DEWHURST-D, send a message to DEWHURST-D-request@rootsweb.com that contains in the body of the message the command unsubscribe and no other text.

I was interested to read a mention of Sylko Cotton Co. as I was always told by my Grandfather that we were also connected to them. Can whoever posted the original message please contact me. regards Susan
Hi everybody My sister and I are researching our roots our maiden name was Dewhurst. Here goes. The family seems to have lived in Preston a suburb of Manchester. our Father was Edward b 1919 married to Edna Hoffmann 1942 grandfather Cornelius Dewhurst married to Florence Tattersall 1919 g.grandfather also Cornelius Dewhurst married to Mary Orford 1879 g.g grandfather William Dewhurst married to Margaret Finch 1855 We are now stuck as there are three Williams born in Preston all within 1 year of one another and all with the father John Dewhurst .The only thing we know is at the time of Williams Marriage they lived in Dover St and John was a carder. We have tried the 1851 census not 1 William was living at home with Mum and Dad. If any one could solve our dilemma we would be very grateful. Regards Edna
