Hi
I found this website and your email which was sent in 1999. No doubt you have followed up the Goldsworthy family members since then. I have the South Australian Births, Deaths & Marriages CD's and have discovered John Thomas Goldsworthy and Catherine Arundell Cawrse had 14 children in South Australia when they moved here, Edwin Hann being one of them. I am happy to research further information if you wish.

Hi,
I just saw your entry on the Goldsworthy's of Sithney & Breage.
My Goldsworthy ancestors also come from these areas around the same time as yours. There is a possibility there is a connection.
My ancestors are Joseph Goldsworthy (b c1806)and Mary Dunne (b c1810) They had 10 children - Elizabeth 1829, Grace 1832, Mary 1835, Eliza 1838, Joseph 1839, William 1841, John 1844, Thomas 1847, James 1849 & Emkily 1851.
Joseph 1839 is my GGGrandfather wo migrated to Australia in 1873.
Please contact me on tskinner@hotkey.net.au if you are interested in further information.

Goldsworthy family photo album from Bremerton, Washington

jcharb — 2009-06-23 02:45:41Z

There is an old 1800's velvet photo album of the George Goldsworthy family at an antique store in Gorst, near Bremerton, Washington. Lots of cabinet photos in it, none with names. Inside the front page is inscribed, "George Goldsworthy". I've done a little research, and have found this family information: George Goldsworthy b1872 in Illinois, in 1899 he married Jessie McKenzie also born in Illinois in 1876. George's parents were born in England, and in 1900 Georges brother Samuel was living with them in Washington. George and Jessie had three children all born in Washington, Burton (1900 - 1903), Donald (1905-1987 d Las Vegas), and Mary Esther (later to marry an Eldin Winder) (b1911-1985 d Bremerton, Washington). Would pick the album up, but they want $50 for it. If you think this is your family and would like me to pick it up for you, or get you the name/contact info for the antique shop, let me know. Its out of the way and it looks like things have been in there for decades, so i imagine this will be there for years to come. jcharb8@msn.com

Re: Martin Goldsworthy - Redruth - Brazil.

rawry45 — 2009-05-27 12:26:54Z

Seem nobody know exactly what happened to Martin Goldsworthy's last seen or heard or whatever happened to him. According to Diwrnod's researches attempted to contact Brazil Embassy, researchers, mining offices etc. without success. Few other descendants tried the same way finding out what happened to Martin.
I'm trying to find which ship/sand passenger lists to Australia from USA or Brazil or Argentina??? Could be working as a mariner?
I have his Will, marriage and death certificate that matched but his age doesn't makes sense.
Does anyone know where I can find the passenger lists and mariner record from USA or other foreign port maybe Panama?

Re: Goldsworthy / Michell connections

Hi Cousin:

I am researching my husband's line. He is a gggrandson of Ralph Goldsworthy. His line goes like this:

Ralph Goldsworthy (1793-1871) m. Elizabeth ___*
|
(Catherine, Emily, and Jane)

Catherine Jane Goldsworthy (1820) m. Richard Michell (1818)
(I have a copy of the family bible page showing their chidren)

*I didn't know Elizabeth's maiden name, but the family "legend" tells me that the Michell family was related to Sir Humphrey Davy. But note the difference in spelling.

I have Death Certificate for Ralph and marriage certificate for Richard and Catharine. I have more information.

Just beginning my genealogy search and appreciate any information on Robert Eugene Goldsworthy born on 05/17/1907 who was married to Edith Lorrane Forster born on 12/20/1908. Robert Eugene's father was William John Goldsworthy. Robert and Edith had four children Roberta Jean born 08/1932, William James born 07/03/1933, Alice Marie born 06/11/1940 and Robert Leslie born 07/20/1948.

Hazleton Plain Speaker, Hazleton, PA May 20, 1901

On Saturday night, Richard H. Goldsworthy and Miss Laura May Griesling were united in marriage by Rev. Toennes at the home of the bride on East Elm street. The esteem and friendship enjoyed by both was attested by the many handsome and useful presents they received. The bride was attended by Miss Gertrude Otter, while the groom's attendant was Gustave Griesling, a brother to the bride.

Re: Goldsworthy / Michell connections

mitca — 2008-07-18 14:25:31Z

Hi Susan,
I'm afraid I still do not know much about my Goldsworthy family. What I do have is Ralph Goldsworthy (c.1790) married to Elizabeth Davey. They had 2 daughters that I know of, Elizabeth (1817 in Gwenap)and Catherine Jane (1820 in Gwenap). Catherine married Richard Michell of Kenwyn, Cornwall. There probably is a connection to our two families somewhere.

Re: Re :Goldsworthy help....

baenck — 2007-07-14 15:58:32Z

To my knowledge Gerisch is the correct spelling. I have been trying to pick Chester Gerisch's brain (son of Otto Gerisch) for information but his memory is fading fast and facts are mixed. Bits and pieces have put on the right track though for many things. I will ask him if the name changed. One of his grandchildren did go to Germany and visit the town they came from but I am still trying to find out which one, where they went, and if they discovered anything.

There also seems to be some history there no one wants to talk about and may be lost. Our GGGrandmother came to the US but there is nothing about GGGrandfather and it is that part of the story no one seems to know about.

Although a scary proposition, I have done quite a bit of exploring in the old neighborhood. Unfortunately I have not found the location of my GGrandfather's barber shop or your GGrandfather's bakery.

Do you mind if I respond to you directly? Feel free to do the same. If you live in the area we may also be able to meet. I have some information on Albert Gerisch branch but is stops with your mother's generation and even that is sparse based on my mom's memory. My dad is the connection but he denies any memory of anything.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Brian

Re: Re :Goldsworthy help....

baenck — 2007-03-03 16:35:15Z

We may have a connection. My GGrandmother was Clara (Gerisch) ENCK whose brother was Albert F. GERISCH. Albert F. had a son Albert P. who married Jean E., 1918~1978. However I show a Pat, Francis and Carol as children (I believe my mother gave me these names). Obviously my information is related to the Gerisch line. Ring any bells?

Stephen Goldsworthy and Elizabeth Trewartha

luvmontana51 — 2006-11-29 02:55:25Z

I am looking for Stephen and Elizabeth (Trewartha) Goldsworthy. They were both born in 1840 in Gwennap, Cornwall, England. They married 13 July 1861 and had 4 children Mary Jane, Elizabeth "Bessie" Ann, John, and Emily. Mary Jane married a Thomas S. Williams in Butte, Montana and John along with their mother Elizabeth ended living with Mary Jane in Butte where they all eventually died. Bessie married Alfred Paynter and she too lived in Butte until her death in 1948. Stephen died in Mexico on 27 December 1900 and his wife Elizabeth died 12 September 1907 in Butte, Montana. The youngest child Emily married Joseph Gibson Dodd on 16 March 1897 in Pachuca, Hidalgo, Mexico. She eventually ended up living in California. Any information about Stephen or Elizabeth or any of their children would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Re: William GOLDSWORTHY

Diwrnod — 2007-02-01 10:59:54Z

You are right, Capel Paran is full of GOLDSWORTHYs and they are all William
Henry's

Have you got any dates for John Goldsworthy, and do you know his ancestry?
William Henry was born about 1851 in Brazil and had 11 children that I know
of. None of the children were called John though there was a Simon John
(b.1876). William also had a brother John b. 1852 Brazil, though I think he
remained in Redruth after their return. If you let me know a little more
detail I can see if I can fit you in. It does seem quite unlikely that there
would be a totally unrelated GOLDSWORTHY in the area considering the name
originates in Cornwall - but you never know!!

Hello Nigel,
I have members of the Cook family, originating from Camelford, Cornwall. I have been following one thread of the tree, which has Marys in there, but not your dates, but am not sure if there were others from a different line of the tree. My connection, had, I believe, a mother called Mary, so maybe I have others that could have been related to your one.

Re: William GOLDSWORTHY

vivienkay1 — 2007-01-29 16:10:15Z

Hi
Just a thought - have you tried the census? If marriage was in Jan to Mar 1871 they should be on 1871 census or if not try 1881. That should give you a place of birth and then you can try and find William on the 1851 census with his parents.
Good luck in your search (my William Goldsworthy is not yours)

Wondered if you heard of a Martha Goldsworthy of Anniston, Alabama? I have a letter dated 11/3/30 which she wrote to my G-Grandparents outling the history of the Bannister family. The letterhead's name & address are - W. Goldsworthy, 1520 Leighton Avenue, Anniston, Ala. Martha signed the letter 'Cousin'. My G-G-Grandmother Alice Bannister Whitehead lived in Anniston with her sister Mary Cornwall as per the 1930 Census at 1518 Moore? Ave. When Mary died in June 1930 her sister Alice went to Toronto, CAN. to live & died there in Oct. 1930. Have you come across any of these names in your search for the Goldsworthy's of Alabama?

Hi
Just new to this searching and adding. I am the great grand daughter of Richard Morcom Goldsworthy and Sarah Eliza Giles. I am led to believe my grandfather Reuben Alfred George Goldsworthy was the black sheep of the family. I do know that when they were alive neither of them spoke of family. You will find more info on Reuben under the goldsworthy tree. I am hoping to expand the tree a little more any help will be appreciated.

Re: Goldsworthy at Stawell/St Arnaud, Victoria 1870s onward

selhawke — 2008-03-31 22:52:30Z

The name Richard Morcom Goldsworthy suggests his mother or grandmother's maiden name was Morcom. I'm sorry, but the Richard Goldsworthy in my research is not the "Morcom" one.

The Richard Goldsworthy I have was youngest son of Paul Goldsworthy & Mary Sennett. From Cornwall he went off to America early in 1870 with his eldest brother, but re-emigrated to Victoria, Australia. He married Mary Ann Rowe at Stawell about 1876 and had children Mary, Stan, Bill and Paul.

Re: Goldsworthy at Stawell/St Arnaud, Victoria 1870s onward

selhawke — 2008-11-11 06:22:09Z

Hi Bill(wdob)
Paul Goldsworthy who went to Western Australia was also a son of Richard & Mary. This family is part of my Goldsworthy research. When Richard emigrated from Redruth, Cornwall he firstly went to America with his eldest brother, but the news of gold finds attracted him to Victoria where he joined another brother and sister Matilda.
A third brother died the day after her arrived in Melbourne.
A sister-in-law also came out with her son, following her other sons.
In all there was quite an exodus of the family from Redruth.
