Hi Alice

Yes, I have seen that one, thank you


Christopher and Alice are a separate family, the two Gilberts are very close in age, but one was born in Kirkby Lonsdale and the other in Whittington. They are very probably related!


The Hayhursts were a prolific family, and most of them were Millers and Farmers

........ and the early ones were Quakers, who moved regularly between Lancashire and Westmorland, the suggestion is that this was to avoid persecution for their religion.

Hi Sylvia

This is the only (very vague ) offering I have (1851).........

The parents are wrong, but Gilbert and Thomas do have a farming connection, plus the areas of 'Whittington' and 'Westmorland'.

I am desperate, desperate I tell you :))))

I have spent hours trying to find the Hayhurst family on the 1851 Census. I have them in Lancashire in 1841, and in Westmorland in 1861

Details:-

Thomas Hayhurst, b. ca 1795, Sedbergh; d. 1868, registered Kendal.
Elizabeth Hayhurst (nee Askew), b.ca 1800, Lancaster, Lancashire, d. 1875, registered Kendal
Gilbert b. ca 1830, Whittington, Lancashire. d. 1886; never married
Thomas b. ca 1832,Whittington, d. ca 1895; never married
Robert b. 1834, Whittington. Not yet found after 1841
Eliza(beth) b. 1836, Whittington. Not yet found after 1841
Mary Ann b. 1838, Whittington, married Robert Taylor 1859, registered Kendal

Sedbergh is in Yorkshire, but is very very occasionally put in Westmorland


In 1841, the whole family were living at Millet Mill, Whittington, in the Hundred of Lonsdale (South of the Sands), Lancashire. Thomas Sr was a Miller

In 1861, Thomas, Elizabeth, Gilbert and Thomas were living at Mill Bridge, Stainton, Westmorland. Thomas was a Malster and Farmer of 53 acres. Gilbert was a Farmer of 63 acres, employing one labourer, and Thomas was a Farmer of 24 acres.

I have tried everything I know to find them on the 1851 Census

I have tried surname only, with date and without date of birth +/- 5 or 10 years, with and without county of birth

I have tried forename only (for all of them), as above

I have tried forename of each child with forename of father, mother or both.

I have tried year of birth +/- 5 or 10 years living in Whittington or Stainton. I even tried looking in Westmorland with just birth information!!


Can anyone find them in 1851, please???

That is all I am looking for, I have all the other information that I need.

Thomas Sr is OH's 4 x gt uncle, and I'd just like to complete the record.


EDIT:-

I should have said that there are two Gilbert Hayurst's b. ca 1830

Gilbert Hayhurst b. ca 1830, Kirkby Lonsdale, Westmoreland, with parents Christopher and Agnes is not the one. Probably closely related, but not mine.
