That seems to make this one the son of John as Christine posted at the beginning.

I'm curious what info there is that connects Whittaker to Margaret and Harriett as siblings.

It seems there are two whitakers. Harriet and Ada are siblings to the one who went to woolwich born c1839

Whittaker 1859 may or may not be related but is not the sibling of Harriet and Ada as stated in the original post.

Haworth is not a common name in Woolwich. I have posted the only items found on free bmd

this message is on ancestry message board

Searching for info. on Margaret Haworth Hemmings born 1820 Lancashire. I have no first name for her father on her death certificate. Only Haworth. Her mothers maiden name was listed as "Bettie" Whittaker. Someone helped me locate a Whittaker Haworth (born 1818) in an 1881 census living at Stanley St. in Accrington. I think this may be a brother for Margaret my GGGrandmother. I would appreciate any info. Margaret Haworth married Daniel James Hemmings born 1818 in Gloucestershire, my gggrandfather,whose parents were listed on death certificate to be John & Mary (no maiden name for mother). Daniel and Margaret had one daughter before coming to the U.S.about 1847. Thank You in advance for help.


that will give a possible link
