Hi Oldham Seekers, My wife's gggg grandmother was Matty (or Mattie?) Oldham. Matty was born in 1749 in Mickle Hurst, Lancashire, England. Matty married John Kenworthy. John was born on March 31, 1741 in Hurst, Lancashire, England. (Is Hurst the same as Mickle Hurst?) John and Matty's 13 children were all born between 1764 and 1785 in Hurst in Ashton under Lyne, Lancashire, England. (Are Hurst, Mickle Hurst and Hurst in Ashton under Lyne all one-in-the-same?) John's parents were James Kenworthy and Alice Lees. They were married March 16, 1739/40 in Blackley, Yorkshire, England. If anyone has some information concerning Matty's parents and siblings, we would be extremely happy to learn more about them. Sincerely, Steve Crouch Eagle River, Alaska The following is some information from our files: Descendants of James KENWORTHY Generation No. 1 1. JAMES1 KENWORTHY was born Unknown, and died Unknown.

If you enter a date that falls between January 1 and March 25 for any year before 1753, a double date will appear. Double dates work as follows: you can type either Jan 1, 1493/4 or Jan 1, 1493/1494; both display as January 1, 1493/94. If you don't type in both of the years, Family Tree Maker interprets the year you typed as the second year. For example, if you type January 1, 1494, it's displayed as January 1, 1493/94.
