Hi Cathy. My family of HUME started of around 1700 in Durham where my first ancestor on the tree is noted down as a Butcher from Durham. I don't know if that is the city or the county at the moment. His son, Joseph moved down to the York area. He had at least six sons, but only can find three and one daughter Susanne. From Skelton in York they then spread their wings south to Rotherham. However, Worchester does come into it slightly. Well, in a big way I think, I've just checked my Family Tree records. I have a John William Hume born in Worcester in 1876, is father was my g-grandfather Frederick Hume and mother Mary Hume. What they were doing in Worchester I've no idea. I've been spending all my energy on his last son, also Frederick Hume. Frederick's last son, also John William is my father. By having two of the same names in each family I thought it was because the first John William may have died early. Therefore I haven't researched him. But it does sound promising at the moment. Hope to hear from you VERY soon regards John Morriss HUME Always looking for:-HUME plus ARCHER-Cradley Herts, 1840---BEAL(E) - Sheffield 1880 BROOKES-Rotherham 1860---BUCKLAND-Nottingham 1880 BURTON- Sheffield 1910---CARLTON-Sutton on Forest Yorks. 1730 CLARKE-Myton Hall, Yorks 1825---CROWSHAW- Sheffield 1910 HARGREAVES-West Yorks 1840---HARRISON-Nottingham 1760 HELMAN-London 1850---HOLIDAY-Kilvington York 1780 LINCOLN-London 1850---McBRIDE- Rotherham 1850 SKELTON -York 1800---THEAKER- Sheffield 1910 ----- Original Message ----- From: <CGood666@aol.com> To: <ENG-DERBYSHIRE-CHESTERFIELD-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, February 25, 2004 10:54 AM Subject: [Chesterfield] Re: ENG-DERBYSHIRE-CHESTERFIELD-D Digest V04 #23 > I have been looking at a Hume family but not in Chesterfield.
