Looking for any information on the Howorth / Haworth / Howarth / Haughworth family of Turton in Lancashire during the 1600s. Specifically John Howorth (etc.,) and his marriage to a Hannah (no surname). Any information about this family will be greatfully received.

Thank you

I am trying to find out if Joseph Currall md to a Clara Currall (nee Colefield) emigrated to Australia between 1901 (last UK census, living in Wavertree, Liverpool with his mother Elizabeth and siblings) and 1911 as I cannot find him on any UK Census.  He was born in 1874 to parents Joseph Currall (b. 1846) and Eliza ! (Elizabeth) Chamberlain b. 1848 Queensferry, Cork, Ireland.  They married in Cork but Joseph was born in Portsmouth, UK. They then lived in Northampton and lastly in Liverpool.
The 1901 Census shows Joseph living with his mother and Clara living with her parents with their children.  On the 1911 Census I can find Clara Currall, Joseph Hugh Currall and Dorothy Clara Currall living with her sister in Poulton with Seacombe, Cheshire and she is described as married living on 'Private Means'.
I can also find Clara moving between the UK and Australia with her children a couple of times but nothing for Joseph.  Cannot find a registered death either :-(
If anyone can help I would be very grateful, thank you in advance

My ancestor Mary Elizabeth Holden married a Thomas Francis Pennycoop (also spelt Penneycoop, Pennycoope, Pennycoops on various records) in Bolton in 1910. He had been married before to an Ada Bertha Glaister, also in Bolton. Ada's death is registered in 1900. 
On the 1911 Census Thomas Francis (Pennycoope) lives on Mill Hill Terrace, Bolton and has his year of birth as 1873 and place of birth as Windsor, Lancashire; which I believe to be the old district of Windsor in Liverpool with his new wife Mary E (nee Holden) y/b 1799 p/b Bolton, son Thomas and new daughter Ivy with Thomas snr's occupation as Foreman in Bleachworks.
On the 1901 Census (Pennycoops) he is living on Mill Hill Terrace, Bolton but his y/b is 1872 and his p/b as Windsor, Bucks !!!! and he is with his only surviving child from his marriage with Ada, Thomas y/b 1899, p/b Bolton, his mother Elizabeth y/b 1836 p/b New Mills, Lancashire!!!! and his brother George y/b 1864 p/b Garstang!!!!!!, Lancashire.  Both Thomas snr and George's occupation is Stover.

Now the mystery is I cannot find any Pennycoop's on any Census before 1901.

I have found on the LOPC site for Lancashire Thomas & George's christening in 1890 address 34 William St, Tonge when they were 19 & 17 years old respectively, their parents noted as John and Elizabeth Pennycoop.
Also on the LOPC site under the name of Pennycook I have found marriages for a Martha Pennycook, occ: Card Tenter to a Matthew Stirling (poss correct spelling is Sterling) in 1881 in Bolton with her father down as John  Pennycook, Blacksmith, and a John Pennycook to an Elizabeth Hunt in 1888 in Bolton with his father as John Pennycook, Blacksmith.
I have looked on the 1891 Census at 34 William Street, Tonge and found the following living there:-
Eliza Burgoyne, Widow, Char woman, y/b 1839 p/b Derbyshire
her son's Thomas, Stover,  y/b 1872, p/b Liverpool and
son George, Stover, y/b 1874 p/b Garston, Lancashire
On looking on the 1881 Census in Bolton I find an Elizabeth Burgoyne and family at 19 Bk Brown St., Bolton.  The family are:-
Elizabeth Burgoyne, Widow, Char woman, y/b 1839, p/b New Mills, Derbyshire
Martha Burgoyne, Single, Card Tenter, y/b 1863 p/b Ireland
John Burgoyne, Single, App. Clogger, y/b 1867, p/b Liverpool
Thomas Burgoyne, Single, scholar, y/b 1871, p/b Windsor,
George Burgoyne, Single, scholar, y/b 1874, p/b Garson !!!!.
Unfortunately, I can find no birth records for Martha, John, Thomas & George Burgoyne or Pennycoop/Pennycook and I wouldn't know where to start looking for Eliza/Elizabeth Burgoyne's marriage.
As I live in France it is difficult for me to access records except for those online.
I know this is a difficult question to ask given all of the above but does anyone have a clue on how I can solve this mystery.  It also gets a bit more complicated as Thomas called himself PENNYCOOP after the 1890 christening and George called himself PENNYCOOK.
If anyone can give me any advice or assistance I would be really grateful.
Many thanks in advance.

p.s. so sorry for the long narrative :-)

Hi
I am finding it very difficult to find out any information about the above.  I do have a parish record of birth/baptism in Swineshead, Lincolnshire, giving his parents as Charles and Jane Holmes in 1823.  It gives the father's occupation as groom and abode as Linger House, Swineshead.
I have been unable to find out any reference to a Linger House in Swineshead, so if anyone can help with that I would appreciate it.
Also the parish record is the only record I have been able to find for William Squires Holmes.  If anyone can point me in the right direction on this as well I would be more than happy.

Regards

Hi
does anyone have access to the names of people convicted and transported in 1854.

I'm trying to find out where JAMES ISMAY of Cockermouth, Cumberland was transported too and if he ever returned to england after his sentence.

He was convicted on 3 January 1854 at Carlise on 3 January 1854 for Horse stealing. 

He was married 26 April 1852 to a Mary Sim at Cockermouth All Saints Parish Church.

If anyone can help I would be truly grateful.

Many thanks
