THE SWARBRICK'S OF RIBCHESTER, LANCS

[mdparker0731]

Ok. Thanks anyway, Mobo. There were so many Swarbricks in the Fylde / Preston area that I'm not sure of anything now ... I think I'll try to dig up the will of Richard Swarbrick (dated 1792) to see if that ties in with anything.

Regards, Mike.

Hi my mom is from Manchester and my cousin sent me dates for the Swarbrick family
We go back to 1609 they were beer sellers in Ardwick Outer Manchester.

Mostly there is a lot of Johns 1749-1805
Thomas son of John 1806
Then John married Emily Mills Widow at Manchester Cathedral in 1841
If I can help anyone with this info let me know of any family let me know
I have more info. just highlighted.

The Richard Swarbrick (Farmer of Hothersall)
b1740 married Ellen Rishton at Ribchester in
1775 and died about 1797 per will

Will of Richard Swarbrick mentions his wife Ellen
brothers James and John and children Ann, John,
Betty, Richard, Ellen, Margaret, Alice and Mary.

He also signed the oath of Allegiance to
George III in 1791

He also was included in the papist return of 1767
Ribchester and Stidd (Stydd)

Hi
I live in the US my Mom was a war bride, I still have cousins in Manchester and Blackpool.
I don't know if the info you sent could be my family,  is your family near those towns. 
I'm having the same problem with my Crampton family from Yorkshire.
I am not familiar with the town names.
Sincerely Yours
Tom

Sorry to confuse TZ I was replying to mdparker0731

I was showing them the information I had of
Richard Swarbrick, son of John and Ann Swarbrick
of Singleton Grange.

Not saying mine is correct, but its just the information
I have.

Ribchester is situated near Preston on a map.

Hi  Glad to see some Hesmondhalgh's finally turn up on Rootschat.....was begining to think they had all given up the ghost..

I've just found a Hesmondhalgh marrying one of my Hothersall (Ribchester) Kays - another Betty, marries William Kay at St Wilfrid's in 1743

Hi Louise...The Hesmondhalgh's are my husbands family...his GtGtGrandfather left Ribchester around 1842-1844 and moved to Kendal (Westmoreland)
GtGtGrandfather William was born 1824 to Thomas and Margaret Hesmondhalgh of Bank Top,Dutton.
Regards..LL.

I see there are two references here to the HESMONDHALGH line. I am putting together a complete (or as complete as possible) list of all references to that name, and would be glad to help with anyone's further research; or, indeed any further info to complete my own. The data list so far conatins over 2000 entries, often cross referenced; and I am in addition trying to put together separate family trees. The family remained almost entirely local to RIBCHESTER until the William mentioned above migrated to Kendal, and later one of that group took off further to LEICESTER, where another family started. It is interesting that really large-scale movements only appeared to take place until the first decades of the 20th century.

Thanks for that, Peter. I haven't unravelled the Kays yet, and can't joint the bunch of Hothersall (Ribchester) Kays to my own Hothersall Kays a couple of generations later, but I may come back to you on that!
