Hi, Made lots of new discoveries recently and now find that all my Duckworth family originated in Rimington, Yorkshire. Would love to hear from anyone that has relatives from that area. Rimington, Downham, Waddington etc. I have also found that I have a link to Francis Duckworth the composer of the Hymn Tune "Rimington" and several other Hymns. His family moved to Colne, Lancashire as did his brother Caleb who became a Jam Manufacturer, and his other brother Joshua a Master Printer-Boookbinder. Other families have been found in Chatburn, Oswaldtwistle, Burnley, Church, Barnoldswick, Bury and Wigan to name but a few. My side comes from Thomas Henry born 1878 in Chatburn, which is just down the lane from Rimington, he and his brother Herbert left there and were to be found on the 1901 in Bury, Lancashire as Labourers for the Telegraph Company. I also have in my posession a letter from Tom Duckworth of Berkeley Vale, New South Wales, Australia. He is at the moment trying to trace anyone interested in the Bury Duckworths. He is stuck at the moment on James Duckworth who married Betty Wardle on 2nd December 1822 at St Mary's Church in Bury. If anyone has links to Tom he would love to hear from you at [email protected] Regards Mary
