William Rushworth of Huddersfield/Bradford
« on: Saturday 27 October 18 02:13 BST (UK) »
I'm new here -- an American interested in my Yorkshire roots. My great-great-great-grandfather was William Rushworth, born 1814 in Huddersfield and later moved to Bradford. His parents were Thomas and Elizabeth Rushworth. Thomas was a stocking weaver, but I cannot pin him down. I've seen a few Thomas Rushworths of the right generation, but no one seems to fit.

Hi there and welcome to RootsChat

Have you considered this record?

04 Sep 1809
Saint Peter,Huddersfield,York,England
Thomas Rushworth
Elizabeth Armitage


Is this son William in Bradford?
1861 Census
Ludlow Street
Bradford
William Rushworth 1814 Huddersfield - Manufacturing Chemist Amonia
Caroline 1821 Wells [Somerset]
Tom 1844 Huddersfield - Mechanic For Power Loom
*Walker 1846 Huddersfield - Mechanic For Power Loom

Is the first name *'Walker' a previous surname in the family? It wasn't unusual in Yorkshire for a surname to be used as a first name. The mother, or a Grandparents, maiden name for example. This can be a good clue for getting further back in the records

Do you know what denomination the family were? Is it possible they could have been Nonconformist?

Kay

Wouldn't the 1837 marriage be as under the name Lawton, not 'Littlewood'. If Elizabeth was a widow to a Lawton, she would remarry under her deceased husbands name?

Edit - sorry I got confused there.  ::)
Yes your post would be the correct one

But she was born Lawton, married Charles Littlewood, then remarried as the widowed Mrs Littlewood.
