Greetings Birtle from Mauritius.

It seems likely that William Henshaw born 1605 is related to the Henshaws of Tydnock Farm.

There is a full pedigree of the Henshaws of Henshaw Hall in Earwacker's "History of East Cheshire." I am told it is not 100% accurate, but it does mention the Roger Henshaw of Tydnock Farm who was raising support for Charles I during, or just before the Civil War. He had his property sequestered by Parliament, but got it back after the restoration.

Yes, I confirm from Wikipedia that Dunham Hall belonged to the Booth family at that time. It was constructed in 1616 by Sir George Booth. William probably started work there early in his career.

Yes, the children of the Tydnock family would be from around the 1590s, while William was born around 1605. Interesting that you mention Gawsworth. The Lea Henshaw you mention is almost certainly the Lea Henshaw of Henshaw Hall, at Henshaw in Siddington. He was the son of Thomas Henshaw and Eleanor Browne, of Henshaw Hall, and was born in 1593 and died in 1631. He had a sister called Ursula. His father, Thomas, was described as "A Captaine in Ireland, slaine at Blackwater, 1598." This battle is also known as the Battle of Yellow Ford, during the O'Neill rebellion, occurring on the same date as Thomas's death, August 14th., 1598. I would very much like to tie up my lineage with those of Henshaw Hall as the lineage would then go back to about 1365. That would be something!

The Debretts report did mention something about the Tydnock Farm family have a connection with Newbold Astbury, located near Congleton. 

Greetings once again. That's brilliant. Is the Thomas Henshaw of Tydnock confirmed to be William's father?

One of Thomas's children was Roger Henshaw, and according to Earwacker, he went gallivanting around the Cheshire countryside trying to raise support for Charles I in the Civil War. His property (presumably that at Tydnock was sequestered by Parliament, but he probably got it back after the Restoration.

Can you confirm this?

Best wishes,

Colin.

Independent Order of Odd Fellows, Manchester Unity confirmed.

William was the brother off my great great grandfather Thomas Henshaw, and together they founded and ran the Stockport Lurry Company.

Thomas Henshaw, and his son, my great grandfather Henry Henshaw are buried in St Thomas's Church, off Wellington Road South (the A6) in Stockport.

Regarding Henry Henshaw's property on Heathbank Lane, Cheadle Hulme, I think it is No 45, located here:
