My great grandfather, James Whittaker (son of Thomas Whittaker of C. Whittaker and Co.) married Mary Jane Haworth. Her parents were John Haworth and Jane (nee Tattersall) from Oswaldtwistle. I believe John Haworth's parents were Dennis Haworth (b 1802) and Ellen (nee Grimshaw).
Christopher Whittaker (James's brother) married Catherine Haworth. Catherine's father was also a John Haworth from Oswaldtwistle but his wife was Elizabeth (don't know her maiden name). Catherine Haworth and Mary Jane Haworth may have been related in some way but they were definitely not sisters. Catherine Whittaker was the mother of Norman and Hugh Allen Whittaker. She pre-deceased her husband, Christopher, who later married a Polly Mitchell in 1905 and had two further children, Duncan and Irene.
