Woodworths Chester, Family Research
« on: Monday 11 July 05 09:47 BST (UK) »

I wondered if anyone was researching the Woodworths of Handbridge Chester.

My Granfather was Thomas Horrocks Woodworth born 1884. My Grandmother I think was a Jane Norris and she was known as Jinny.

My Father was George Woodworth born 1912 and my mother was Josephine Gentile born 1913.

My Great Grandmother was a Greatbanks.

Any infomation would be appreciated.

George Woodworth



Researching: Gentile - Yorkshire, Shrewsbury, Oswestry Chester.  Woodworth - Handbridge Chester. Taylor - Yorkshire and Chester. Ellis - Wrexham. Wraight - Margate Kent

Hi George,

Here are a couple of references to get you started. If you buy the certificates they will give you details of parents etc.

BIRTH
Dec q. 1884, Chester 8a/404
Woodworth, Thomas Horrocks


MARRIAGE (?)
Mar q. 1877, Chester 8a/515
GREATBANKS, Jane Bennett
WOODWORTH, Thomas


I had a quick look at a couple of censuses without much success. We could have another look when you have a bit more info.

Cheers,

Ros
