Er.....scuse me Sylvs......


it woz moi who mentioned OH leaving his rellies lying around..



Sheeeeeeesh, put yer specs on straight woman.......

Dea


not only did OH leave some of 'em lying around ......

.................. others of 'em joined the alien spaceship for periods of time :-D


Not only that, but they used the same forenames from generation to generation, AND for cousins etc


You'd think a name like Christopher Hayhurst son of Cuthbert(us) would be somewhat unusual, wouldn't you?


Nah!




........... and then they decided to spell it Hairst back when


There's loads of information on the web ................ because a Cuthbert was on the second fleet to Pennsylvania, with the Quakers under William Penn. He went on the Lamb in 1682, died in 1683 (6 months after arriving), and for some reason I haven't found ................. most of his family were later excommunicated.

The Americans have followed this line indefatigably .............. all the way back to England and back to the 1500s. They have wills, etc etc

OH's family are possibly/probably connected to this Cuthbert. Not only from the same area, and same religious connections, but the same forenames used over and over again. But it is all back before 1680, and none of the Americans have done any investigations of siblings of their Cuthbert ................... and, of course, there are no trustworthy records.


To add to the problem, there seem to have been TWO families of Hayhursts in northern England from about 1700 onwards.

Both have the names Cuthbert, Christopher, William and Robert occurring from generation to generation.

Both families are corn millers and farmers

Both live in Lancashire and Westmorland ................... and both move back and forth between the 2 counties, marrying in one and dying in the other, working in one then in the other, etc etc.

Both occupy the same bl****y corn mills at varying times, even taking over from each other on occasion.

There has to be a connection ...... but I cannot find it ...... there aren't really the records for the 16th century to 1841


The Hayhursts do all seem to have been Quakers, or Quaker-connected ........... and as such subject to harassment. This probably accounts for the moving between Lancashire and Westmorland (and later Yorkshire).


I have OH's family sorted out back to about 1800 .................. but before then it's all guesswork, and trying to find parish records.
