Was Erasmus C. Ward the father of your Mary J.? Mike Freeman

Hi there, Many thanks for getting back to me. I have been trying to trace my Whitaker's for a long time and can't get past Thomas Whitaker and Ann Bishop married Birmingham 1821. Their ages seems to point to birth dates circa 1790. Most Thomas' I have found not to be ours. The 1851 census says Thomas (61Yrs) and Ann (58yrs)Whitaker born WOR. and Kruchen( which i assumed meant Crewkerne)SOM respectively. I did find one born Worcester 1790 but no documentation of proof. I found an Ann Bishop born Crewkerne but also no proof. They had 8 children, William, Thomas, Richard, John, George Atkins, Ann, Jane and Sarah. I have a feeling that maybe one of them went to the U.S. Our gg grandfather, George Atkins, came to Australia circa 1860. Don't know whether he came alone or with the family. I have a copy of the marriage entry in the Church of St Peter and Paul and also the christenings of the children in St Philips Birmingham. That is as far as I have been able to go. I have tried by myself but now need to "ask" for advice on the next step. Any information at all would be most appreciated, but in any case, many thanks for trying. regards Judy.Whitaker ----- Original Message ----- From: <HHILLARD@aol.com> To: <WHITAKER-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, February 25, 2002 6:07 PM Subject: Re: [WHITAKER] English?? or German?? > Dear Judy: I believe we have corresponded before.

Yes, Cathy. We have corresponded several times before, but I will be happy to look in my new books about this family or new info that I have received for any questions. Will go back and review our earlier correspondence and see what I can find. Cookey

Yes I think the majority came from England originally. Is anyone researching the Whitaker's from Worcestershire or Warwichshire circa 1790. Our line comes from Thomas Whitaker married to Ann Bishop but can't find his parents. Any information would help. regards Judy Whitaker Australia ----- Original Message ----- From: <HHILLARD@aol.com> To: <WHITAKER-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, February 25, 2002 12:30 PM Subject: Re: [WHITAKER] English?? or German?? > What is your earliest Whitacre?

I've got a feeling that we have corresponded before, but I never give up trying to find more on my Whitakers. My Joseph Whitaker was bapt 1755 in Leeds, England. His father James b 1723 m Ann Mosgrave. James' father was John. And that is as far back as I go. James was not born in Leeds but in another city nearb y. I didn't find his baptism. He was a cloth Merchant. Joseph entered the army and served in Light brigade calvery.

In Eastern Pennsylvania the Whitakers were English, mine coming from Yorkshire and Lancastershire.

What is the source of this statistic?

P.S. I have a Mary Sharp in my family names. They lived in PA, then in NC. They were Quakers.

You might try the Familysearch.com for the name of Whitaker. If that does not help try putting in a first name and surname. Just go through the list for those living in Germany. Unless you know from descendants where the earlier ones lived in Germany or can locate a passenger list with his name on it - census records are over the place in Germany as are parish records. But do not give up - many new clues are on the horizon.

Hundreds and hundreds of census records both Stateside and in England. I do considerable genealogy in Germany, both by snail mail and EM and I have never found any real old Whitakers there. A few younger ones, but not older. That, of course, does not mean there are none, but just have not found any.

Dear Judy: I believe we have corresponded before. Give me an approx. date for your Thomas Whitaker & wife Bishop. Perhaps I can locate your info from this end. Cookey Young, Houston, TX P.S. All of my Whitakers so far are from Lancashire, Eng. I have them traced through Jabez Whitaker and wife Anne Bourchier (through King Edward III from his youngest son Thomas).

Might as well add my two-cents. My WHITAKER line is definitely English. My late Mother seems to have had paperwork showing a Robert and Margaret (Lisle) Whitaker born in England probably in the early 1600s/Joshua and Jane (Parker) Whitaker born in England in 1670s/ William and Elizabeth (Carleton) Whitaker born in England in the early 1700s. Seems all of William and Elizabeth's children were born in the United States. Sorry, this is about all I can go into. Due to other responsibilities, just do not have time to really do further serious research. Hope this will help answer your question. Sincerely, Billie Beth Moore (I use Billie Beth, please.)

Think our James and Elijah whitaker comes from Germany. ( at least his wife said so on his death record) any idea where I need to look in Germany for Whitaker families. time about 1790 to 1820 ( 1820 Dearborn co. Ind. was first census we find then in USA. Elijah was born about 1811 and wife Mary (sharp)said he was born in "Germany". he died at only 26 yr old. in Danville Ill. Where should I be looking in Germany? what records should I be looking for? thanks. Rwhit18007@aol.com

I have no info on his parents or siblings. Thank You and God Bless. Brenda Land-Dice

What is your earliest Whitacre? My earliest Whitaker from Lancashire, England is about 1025. Thanks.

89% of Whitakers are from Lancashire, England or thereabouts.
