WHITWAM

 

David

Noting your surname I wonder if you can answer a query I have. My GGrandmother was Hannah WHITWAM daughter of Henry WHITWAM and Sarah TIFFANY. This is as spelt on my Grandfather Joseph EDWARDS` birth certificate. However the marriage entry in Halifax register has WHITWORTH and Hannah signed with that name. Was this a regular alternative name for WHITWAM or just a one off? Joseph`s brother`s certificate has WHITWAIN but that is obviously just a mistranscription at the registry office.

best wishes

Hello Sue
?
Yes I have used it and (I`ve just checked) I was last in touch with Steve in 2010.? I have done little on this branch since then but seeing David`s message this morning reminded me I still have this puzzle.

Hi Marjorie . Thanks for your email . The only Hannah I have was born 1776 in Golcar to parents Joseph and Mary Rawcliffe . I would think the WHITWORTH was a one off as you suggest .

?BTW? My Sister lives in Chapel .

Kind regards Derek
