Halstead interest
Hi,
I joined the forum after an internet search came up with postings relating to Halsteads and Henheads, which is where my ancestors lived in the late 1600's (thread: http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/f...ml#post1181212). Now living in Derbyshire, interested in trying to get back further with my family history. Earliest known relative: William Halstead of Henheads, married Alice Holt in Feb 1669, died Feb 1693. John |

Re: Halstead interest
Look on the Lancashire Family History Society's website home page. See the turquoise box and click onto it to see if any members are interested in Halsteads/ If so, you can email them.
Ask Accrington library ([email protected]) to check the parish registers for Church Kirk church |

A were bashing all the parish regs into a database for Jack Broderick oer 30 years ago, an since then ave seen lods o claims as tu how far back folk ave traced theur ancestors an a large % stumbled when they changed calender from Easter to January, I reckon if them as ses they've getten back any further than mid 1700, there bigger liars than thee an me, an tha con tell sum good uns. Before 1600's very few folk had a surname, an King wur gedding fed up wi the ammounts coming back in taxes, so to sort things out he decreed evry body had to have a surname. some picked wher th lived, others took name of their trade an then you've got the sons of, one ot best I found was William Zitherater. :):):):) |
