William Haywood
« on: Friday 17 February 12 13:45 GMT (UK) »
Good day,

I was wondering if you could help me. My great-grandfather's line stretches back to Derry but I have been unable to trace beyond my great-great-great-great grandfather who was:

William Haywood
Born about 1795 in Londonderry
By 1851 was living in Kidderminster, Worcestershire
By 1861 was living in Mitton, Worcestershire
Died 14th September 1868 in Worcester, Worcestershire

William married Sarah (?) who was born round about 1795 in West Bromwich. Their children where Mary, Hannah and Samuel.
Midlands: Sanders, Brown, Powell, Mayall, Mills, Eaton, Jackson, Bramall, Biddle, Wheale, Barlow, Unwin

Hi  I've come across your query and I will share my research and thoughts on William Haywood.

William is a direct forebear of my husband and through some strange twist of fortune we have found ourselves living in Stourport on Severn [Lower Mitton]. Research in my local library suggests that William was actually born in West Bromwich, Staffordshire - the 'Londonderry' on the census records are misleading. I think this refers to a small district within that area, now part of Smethwick.

My evidence is a small pamphlet written by W Stanford around 1900 based on local interviews about William, as well as a small book about the Methodist Church Circuit in Stourport by Wedley. They are both clear that William was a West Bromwich man. They also refer to an older brother called John, but I can find no information about him. I can find no other evidence of this, with no birth records in that area

Sorry this information is a bit vague.
Good luck Biffo 1963

Hi Folks - I have more evidence. Look for the Presbyterian [Independent] chapels records for Oldbury - Halesowen, Shropshire.  Film no 65 of 82, Entry No. 546. William Haywood [HEYWOOD]born to John & Susannah Haywood in 1795.

Hi,
   I hope Charoline sees this as he/she hasn't been on-line since early 2012.
