Hi
I am currenly looking for any information or ties with:
Abraham Worsnop 01/04/1807-28/07/1886 Born in Low Moor, Bradford, he moved around the country as a Methodist Minister until he settled in Derby where he later died. His son, James Worsnop was born in Loughborough, had 7 children that I know of so far, 5 of which were born in Derby.
I am currently looking for info about Abraham's father James and his Grandfather Thomas. Although I know these names are correct, I am having trouble locating the wives and siblings names etc. Any help appreciated.
I am interested to hear from anyone with a connection or interest to this name. I have also posted a similar message on the Derbyshire board.
Thanks

Hi Winto
Sorry we have been so little help to you on this one.
Have you made any progress, or do you have any further details that could help someone to find what you are looking for?
Best wishes

Hi,
Probably not much use to you but I thought I'd tell you. I went to Scotts School in Low Moor back in the early 70's and one of our Dinner Ladies was a Mrs Worsnop and I'm pretty sure she lived on CLeckheaton Rd, Low Moor. By the way Scots School was actually Low Moor C of E School but always referred to as Scotts.

Hi
Thanks for asking Ticker. I am still working away at it. There are soooo many Worsnop's in Low Moor about the time of my ancestor and even today! Its extremely hard going. Fortunately I've found someone to help me. So far, this is the thinking:
Abraham Worsnop, son of James Worsnop and Fanny Clayton. James is son of a Thomas (wife unknown at this point) who is possibly the son of Thomas Worsnop and Betty Firth.
So still quite vague at this moment in time, as you can see!
Thanks again for asking

Hi Winto

Hi Rhino
Thank you for taking the time to post to my enquiry. I am aware of the name Worsnop in the Leeds area, but I have yet to find a connection to them from my own line.
And unfortunately I havent yet found any new information since I wrote my original post. I believe that the Leeds and Low Moor Worsnop's could well have been related, especially considering the frequent re-use of christian names used for the children, but trying to untangle the various lines in Low Moor has become a long drawn out process so trying to untangle the ones outside of the Low Moor area is probably not something I will ever get as far as.
But it is great to hear from other Worsnop's and Worsnop researchers. I will keep a record of your post if thats OK with you. You never know, one day I may find that connection after all! If ever you see a connection, please let me know as I would obviously be extremely interested. And if you want to share info, I will be quite happy to.
Best regards

Hi there
I am looking for Worsnop's from Low Moor as well. My wife's great great great grandfather Joseph Worsnop was born in Low Moor about 1822, but by 1861 he and wife Nancy had moved to Farnley in Leeds.
Is this any connection with you?
By the way, I went to the church yesterday and found 4 Worsnop graves if you're interested in the photos and inscriptions.

Roy Stockdill is doing a 'one name study' of the WORSNOP name.

Hi asmith driver
Looks like your wife and I may have the same distant relatives as my Great Grandmother was Elizabeth Worsnop born Farnley in 1856 her parents were Joseph born 1822 and Nancy ( Briggs).
They had three other children that I know of John , Charles and Amos .Which one of these is your wifes family line.
Have not done a great deal of research on Worsnops as there are hundreds of them and sorting out who belongs to who is a nightmare.

Hi Barbara
My wife is descended from Amos, who married a Martha Mellors in Sheffield in 1880. Amongst their children was Eliza, who in turn married Charles Henry Pickersgill; they had Martha, who married Joseph Holmes, they had Dorothy and she had my wife!
Whats your connection?
By the way, I went to Holy Trinity at Low Moor on Saturday and took some photos of the graves I found but until I get Joseph and Nancy's marriage certificate which I ordered the other day, I can't confirm his parents.

Hi again
Here is a run down of my family.
Joseph Born 1822 married Nancy Briggs 1846 at Bradford St. Peters , my great great grand parents.
Elizabeth Worsnop born 1856 Married Henry Taylor 1875 living sheffield , my great grand parents.
Ann Elizabeth Taylor born 1885 married Alfred Lanceley 1907 living Swinton ,my grandparents.
Annie Elizabeth Lanceley born 1916 married Thomas Hammonds 1937 living Swinton ,My Parents.
Such a shame you have sent for Joseph and Nancy's Marriage certificate as I already have it .Hope it is the right one!!!!!!!
Josephs father was Charles Worsnop Nancy's father was John Briggs .
They married 13th of April 1846 at St Peters Bradford.
Joseph was a furnace man his father was a labourer.
Nancy was a servant her father was a Farmer.
Address given for both was Low Moor.
Hope this helps ,I do have some census info for Joseph and Nancy if you need it.

hi all...I seem to be related too to the Worsnops...my great grandparents x3 was Amos Warsnop and Martha Mellors...their daughter Eliza that married Charles Henry Pickersgill had my grandma Violet..she in turn married Joseph Willis....they had 4 children .one sadly deceased as a young child..one of those children was my father Joseph Willis

Hi Colleen
You must be related to my wife then as a distant cousin.
Her grandmother was Martha Pickersgill (known as Patty) so she and your Violet must have been sisters.
I haven't got access to my full tree details as yet but if you let me have your email address, we can converse more. (*)
Have you heard of Barry Sanderson? He is also related via the Pickersgill line which we can trace back to the 1600's
