Ireland / Re: Dilworth family name
« on: Thursday 05 May 16 03:25 BST (UK) »
Hi
Have you looked at variations of the name 'Dilworth'? For instance my Dilworth ancestors came from Seagoe or towns close, in the County of Armagh, Ireland. Looking at my own tree and following the Dilworth male line after my grandmother, it looks like this: Sarah Dilworth - James Dilworth - Richard Dilworth - William Dilworth - William Dilworth - William Dillard. So some time in say, the first third of the 18th century, a Dillard decided to change to Dilworth. I can't remember all variations I have seen to date, but some include Dilleworth, Dillworth and Dullard. There appears to be a link to a town called Dilworth an ancient township in the Ribble Valley, Lancashire, England, which today is part of the small town of Longridge.
Regards
