KENWORTHY - MILBURN - BUCKLEY - WHITEHEAD: Saddleworth, Mossley, and Manchester
« on: Wednesday 12 October 05 02:15 BST (UK) »
My ancestral pursuits bring me to Saddleworth, Mossley, and Manchester. The surnames are as follows:  KENWORTHY - MILBURN - BUCKLEY - WHITEHEAD.  I understand the families of Kenworthy, Whitehead, and Buckley are long established in the Saddleworth area.       http://www.saddleworthmuseum.co.uk/familyhistory.htm
 
Isaac Milburn Kenworthy (Mar 1832 - 13 Dec 1880), s/o John Kenworthy (b.c. 28 Feb 1808 likely in Mossley, Lancashire, England)  and Jane Milburn (b.c.  1808). John and Jane were married 27 Aug 1827 at Manchester Cathedral, Manchester, Lancashire, England.  Witnesses: Robert Hilton / John Milburn.  John was a Draper - a dealer in dry goods.
 
Isaac Milburn Kenworthy came to America on 29 Jan 1872 aboard the Calabria. Isaac was a Iron Moulder. He was my 2nd great-grandfather.
 
Isaac married Mary Whitehead (1830 - 16 Mar 1900), likely in England. She had 9 children that I know about, of which, 8 were born in England. She was my 2nd great-grandmother.
 
Surprisingly, John and Jane (Milburn) Kenworthy appear to have arrived in America before Isaac Milburn Kenworthy. They came aboard the Ship Defence on 23 May 1848. They were enumerated in the 1850 census at Fishkill, Dutchess Co, New York. I actually have a picture of William Milburn Kenworthy, Isaac's younger brother, who accompanied his father in 1848.  I continue to develop this information.
 
Someone, who lived around the block from my Kenworthy kinfolk, and who was a grocer in the same small New Jersey neighborhood, was Hugh Kenworthy (Feb 1848 - 22 Mar 1908), s/o John Kenworthy and Betty Buckley.  I suspect he was a cousin of Isaac Milburn Kenworthy. Hugh's headstone clearly records that he hailed from Saddleworth, England. He married Elizabeth Sharp in 1879 [US] and Sarah Ann Burke in 1892 [US].
 
 
Best Regards,
Ken Forbes            ~~ who grew up in that same small New Jersey neighborhood.
