Searching for Wadsworth/Wordsworth connections

I am trying to find the parents and forebears of William WORDSWORTH, of Little Houghton. He is supposed to have a father named William of Greater Houghton…

William 2 was born around 1671. He married Sarah SENIOR, daughter of Thomas SENIOR and Elizabeth WATSON, on 1 May 1703 at All Saints, Darfield, YKS.1  He died on 30 Oct 1746 at Little Houghton, Darfield, YKS.2  He was buried on 1 Nov 1746 at All Saints, Darfield, YKS.3  His estate was probated on 3 Apr 1747 at York, YKS.4

Sarah SENIOR was born in 1680 at Edderthorpe, Darfield, YKS.  She was baptized on 9 Jan 1680/81 at All Saints, Darfield, YKS.5  She died in Jun 1767 at Little Houghton, Darfield, YKS.2  She was buried on 25 Jun 1767 at All Saints, Darfield, YKS.6

I have lots of info related to my family from here on out - but nothing about William and Sarah Senior's parents and earlier family history. For any interested parties, I have an expansive chart in PDF form that I will email. It's focus is on my direct line from William and Sarah Senior, but there is a wealth of info and names that may help someone in their search.

Any help would be massive to get me further back in time! Pointers or people who can help would be most appreciated. Can pay for UK assistance. Thanks!

Denise: Attached is my chart in pdf form - it's a large format file but lower resolution so it isn't overwhelming to computers. I did it for our family reunion a few years back - and thanks to your information, I can now update it and make it even …bigger!
If this attachment doesn't work, email me at
 and I can send it that way as well.

I look forward to your additional data to go back even further with this branch of the Wordsworths/Wadsworths. My family (see straightline from William Wordsworth and Sarah Senior) changed their name to Wadsworth in the early 1800's - something I read about political or religious turmoil caused them to favor one name over the other…



Regards,

Gerry

I believe Gerry it was the Free Churches who favoured the name Wadsworth, the Cof E favoured Wordsworth.

Free church versus C of E
« Reply #9 on: Tuesday 29 September 09 15:40 UTC (UK) »
That would make sense in our family's case. The next generation of my Wadsworth's moved to New England - maybe for religious convictions.  At least I'm returning to our roots since I was baptised C of E!! - my dad was in the diplomatic corps in London in '51 and I came along at Westminister hospital. Perfect timing…

On my chart - John Wadsworth & wife Harriet Morton 1819 - 1892 were the pioneers to move across the ocean in 1850. A stalwart old sea dog, he looked like. Then there's his son Robert, my grandad Frank and the rest follows…

Regards and thanks for the update.

My wife's 3xgreat grandfather, George Hutchinson married Mary Wadsworth at Doncaster parish church 29 Nov 1797. In view of the family's later connections with Clayton with Frickley, and the Crossleys of Penistone, is there any record of Mary appearing to originate to the North West of Doncaster?

RedRoger's question
« Reply #11 on: Wednesday 07 October 09 19:43 UTC (UK) »
RedRoger - I couldn't find any Hutchinson's on my charts, but I am pretty sure there may be some in one of my 3 Wadsworth books. Will look it up and get back to you.

Sorry, RedRoger…I couldn't find anything in my charts or books on this couple. But I stillmay have some odd paperwork about that may have some pertinent data - if I can find it, I'll post it asap.

Again, regrets on the lack of info.
