Dear List I descend from the Rev Charles Dewhirst born in 1777 in Gt Horton, Yorks. He settled in Suffolk and was the minister at Whiting St Independent Church in Bury St Edmunds for many years.

His son Edward settled in Australia. I am looking for any more info on who Charles father might have been? Imogen Pettitt Redditch, Worcs. -- Imogen Pettitt Redditch, Worcestershire

Regulars will have seen these lot pretty recently, but here they are again, responding to Jana's roll-call. I am off to Cornwall for a week (as of this evening) so apologies in advance if I do not respond to queries. Here goes, most recent first: My Mother's maiden name was JEAN DEWHURST. My Grandfather is DAVID DEWHURST, b. 30/09/1915. He was the youngest of 8 (?) children: GEORGE DEWHURST b. 1896 (?) MARTHA DEWHURST b. 1897 HANNAH DEWHURST AGNES DEWHURST ROSE DEWHURST MARY DEWHURST ELIZABETH DEWHURST We are in contact with one of MARTHA DEWHURSTS relatives: The Eldest son, George, was killed in the First War. My Great-Grandfather was named GEORGE DEWHURST b. 1852 (?): he married three times - all of the children listed above were by his second wife, ELIZA WIGGLESWORTH. They were married in Chorlton, Manchester. On the two marriage certificates of his I posess he is listed as a "piano tuner". I have had trouble identifying him in the 1881 census, tho. I may have a candidate - a "beer seller" with a wife called MARTHA DEWHURST. I have made contact with a living WIGGLESWORTH relative. My Great-Great-Grandfather was named DAVID DEWHURST - as yet, I know little about him. DAVID DEWHURST 's details come from his son GEORGES DEWHURST 's second marriage certificate. He may have been alive in 1896, as he is not yet listed as "deceased" on said certificate. His profession was listed as a Wheelwright. (by the time David's son George was re-married in 1919, David is listed on George's marriage cert as "Deceased"). Regards all, Richard Kernick richard@kernick.co.uk

Hi, My roll-call will not take long as I don't know anything yet. My mother-in-law's maiden name was Chadwick, and the only thing she knows about her paternal grandparents is that her grandfather was Alfred Chadwick (said to be from Liverpool, but it now looks likelier that he was from Bolton) and that his wife's maiden name was DEWHURST. We don't know what her christian name was. What I would be grateful for is if anyone knows a DEWHURST who married an Alfred CHADWICK around the early 1880's (Alf Junior was born in 1887 and he had an older brother) could they please let me know, as I am beginning to think this branch of the family was carved out of stone.

Joseph's occupation is a wool sorter. Martha was born at home where they lived at Castleton Terrace, Wortley.

The addresses on their marriage certificate were: Benjamin Jones 86 Ashley Street, Horton Martha Dewhirst 53 Ashley Street, Horton Benjamin's father was Richard Jones, a nail maker David Freeman freeman@tsn.cc Australia

Hi, Everyone! The DEWHURST's I'm looking for are in my husband's line. Maria DEWHURST B: 1804 Altrincham, Cheshire M: 1823 Lancashire to John WALKER Emigrated to Sydney Aust 1827 Her parents: John DEWHURST B: ~ 1760 Yorkshire M: 1786 Bradford Yorkshire to Mary AINSWORTH Looking forward to replies! (Ever hopeful!) Michelle Savage Sunny Queensland Australia

William Henry Dewhurst was b. abt. 1816 Hackney, Middlesex, England and m. Mary Pearson (b. abt. 1821) 10 Dec 1840 Old Church, St.Pancras, Middlesex, London, England. Their known children were: Caroline Jane, Mary Elizabeth, Madeline, & James William, but supposedly, there were 8-9 children total. I descend from James William who changed his name to William James Dewhurst. He m. Ellen Elizabeth Reeves 25 Dec 1874 St. John the Baptist, Shoreditch, Middlesex, London, England. Their children were: Nelle Maude Louise, William Henry, Mabel Caroline, Arthur Frederick, Madeline E., Edith Emily, Ethel Leah & (my grandfather) James Sidney. The family supposedly came from Austria to France to Hull, Yorkshire, England to London; but thus far we cannot prove it. From London, they went to Canada then to the USA ending up in the San Francisco Bay Area. When they left London, after losing both of his older boys in the Boer War, William James Dewhurst assumed the name William James McPherson (he was the only son of Mary Pearson, thus a McPherson...) and my grandfather took the name Sidney James McPherson to stay out of further military drafts and protect the "family line" at a time when sole surviving son exclusions had not yet been created in the UK. My father and his brothers were born as McPhersons, tho the name was not legally changed until much later.... we have a bit of a family identity crisis, you might say ;) My goal is to connect William Henry to his birth family (perhaps in Yorkshire?) and to see if I can find traces of any other children for William and Mary.

Posted on: DEWHURST - DEWHIRST Biographical Information Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/surnames/dew/DewhurstBios/29 Surname: Dewhurst, Dewhirst ------------------------- I am interested in your family line - do you know from where they originated in UK? My Dewhirsts went to US where Emma/Emmie Jones (whose mother was Martha Dewhirst and father Benjamin Jones) was born at Southbridge, Mass. It is believed they went there because of family connections. Any ideas? I have the names of ten of their eleven children.

Hi all, Please ignore me - I am checking some list formatting - Jana http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~jmbhome/1dewhurst.html

Hello all and welcome Richard! We have been quiet these summer months and I hope it means we are either enjoying the out of doors or researching bigtime ;) Thought I would use Richard's post to let him and all our other new subscribers know of our "family progress" this year (there are about 70 researchers on this list). As "oldsters" on the list know, I offered at the beginning of the year to post DEWHURST family group sheets for all listmembers on my website so we could all have the chance to "look over each other's shoulders" for connections in our research. This has been *very* successful and you can see the results here: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~jmbhome/1dewhurst.html In fact, so many of you provided data that I had to split up the chart alphabetically, so scroll a bit down the page to the alpha table knowing it is organized alphabetically by FIRST name. I just received another family group sheet yesterday from June Phoebe Erskine Booth for the family of John Dewhirst in Drighlington, Yorkshire, England. As is true for many of us, June's information is good where she has it but sparse, like many of us. Take a look and let her know if you see anything "familiar!" Here is the link: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~jmbhome/johndewhirst.html If you are new and haven't "surfed" our group sheets, it is a good place to begin! The offer still stands, so let me know if you want your family groups posted - you can either send me the data in text email format or you can send an attachment in Word or a GedCom, I am not picky.... Good luck to you all - let me know if any of you come across my William Henry around 1816 in Hackney, Middlesex or even anywhere else??? Cheers!

Hi everyone, I just went browsing on the surname boards on http://www.familyhistory.com and was surprised to see how many DEWHURST posts there are. I didn't even look at the IRST board. One of the most interesting things is that there seem to be a few connections that have been made there. Terry /Glen Rock, NJ
