Surnames: Haworth, Heyworth,Heworth
I have an ancestor John b 1695 who married Mary Walker of Worston in 1722. HIs father was NIcholas. THey lived at Stang Top farm BArley.
My surname is Heyworth and I reached a brick wall searching for John Heyworth. From the parish records( St Marys Newchurch in Pendle )it appears that my relatives were described prior to the 180o's as Haworth and or Heworth. I am now searching for Haworths as opposed to Heyworths. At a time when many could not read or write the spelling of a surname was left to determination by the parish clerk. Has any one any information about the above that would assist me in discovering more about NIcholas?
