Ireland / Re: Frances Hepworth - born 1821
« on: Saturday 23 May 15 05:05 BST (UK)  »
Wow - Thank you for that info which I have been looking for for some 30 years.   While it looks like my Samuel (b.c. 1816) and Frances were not baptized  I am delighted to have the births/baptisms of Hannah and Joseph.  I have also tentatively grabbed the birth/death of an infant John in 1821 as no other Hepworth family seemed to have been having chn in Dublin at the time.  I would have had no way of knowing about Frances as she was married by the time of the 1841 census so would have had no record in England. I have traced the Hepworth family back to 1750 in Batley when I hit another brick wall but happy to share any info I have. Particularly like to hear from the Hinchliffe descendants who would be my 3rd cousins.  Joan

Ireland / Re: Frances Hepworth - born 1821

I am very interested in this thread. I am a descendant of John and Margaret Hepworth of Batley mentioned here.   Margaret was born in Ireland, although John was from a Batley family.   I know of only 3 chn, all born in Ireland.   Hannah b.c. 1813, married William Sheard in Batley, Samuel my gggf (long story) b.c. 1816 and Joseph b.c. 1824 ( have not been able to trace him after 1841 but he may have emigrated to US). Because of the ages of John and Margaret I suspected that they may have had other chn born in either/or Ireland and England.   The marriage of Frances Hepworth ad Francis Hinchliffe is of interest because (1) Frances born in right place, right time (Hepworth a rare name in Ireland); (2) father named John, occupation clothier (3) name Frances, John's mother was Frances, not a particularly common name.   The Hepworths appear to have returned to England between 1825 and 1835.  No apparent close connection to either the Stubleys or the Akeroyds, but I will pursue this.

Re: Kyles Tullynahinion Antrim
This is my family. It seems to me that we all have little bits of info and some interesting anecdotes which have come down through the family. I have found Earl Godfrey invaluable with his info about the early family who went to Whitewater.   The one thing that I can definitely say is that it was James Kyle and not his brother David who came to New Zealand.   I was always told that David went to New York where he was either murdered or committed suicide.  He may have patented a bottle opener, possibly with his brother Thomas!    James came to NZ early 1890s and married Mamie Carmilla de Rosa in 1896.  They were my grandparents.  I also wonder if we are missing a generation. FamilySearch has a son Joseph born to Joseph Kyle and Lavina Harris in 1809 and possibly marrying yet another Mary Vance in 1829. This  couple could possibly have been the parents of John Kyle (1828-1903) and his siblings. However the info was submitted by a patron and may be quite unreliable.  Happy to contact any  relatives off-line.
