Thread: William Hackworthy

Can anyone please help? I'm trying to find a William Hackworthy born in Devon in about 1831. I think he lived in Cadeleigh in Devon. He was my great, great grandfather and I think he died quite young. If anyone could find out about him it would be great. And also his parents, too. Thanx.

Hi Flood, Was the William you are looking for the father of William born c.1867? This William (1867) was the son of Fanny.



Could this be him Flood? mistranscribed as Hackworth.... though I'd say, looking at the original census sheet it's definitely HackworthY .



1861 Census Cadeleigh



William Hackworth/head/b.1837/Tiverton

Fanny Hackworth/wife/b.1839/Clayhanger Somerset

Tom Hackworth/son/1 month/Cadeleigh

If the above is them, then this is probably William's marriage .. Jun 1860 Tiverton.



FORD Fanny Tiverton 5b783

Hackworthy William Tiverton 5b783

Stevens William Tiverton 5b783

ZELLY Mary Ann Tiverton 5b783



A likely death record ... Dec quarter 1870 Tiverton.



Hackworthy William 39 Tiverton 5b340

Slizzy, thank you so much. It's definately him. He and Fanny did have a son called William who had a twin sister called Mary-Ann(my great granny). So ta!!

Hi Flood, I know you really wanted to find who William's parents were - I'm sorry but I've been unable to find him on the 1841 census, but I've not given up on him just yet and will continue searching, and maybe others will help you in your search. I've not found a birth record for him either, there is a birth on the IGI, but this William is recorded as dying as an infant.

Unfortunately on the 1841 census he was in Cadeleigh with the Bradfords age 9 which doesn't help much!

There is a Hackworthy family in Cadeleigh 1841 which could be his - Cadeleigh Little Silver

In 1841 William is staying with the Bradford family, also in the household is Joan? surname unclear they've transcribed her 'Terrad' details are.........



James Bradford/35/carpenter

Jane Bradford/35

Maria Bradford/10

Robert Bradford/20/carpenter



Then at the same address there's



Joan Terrad?/65

William Hackworthy/9



In 1851 Joan has been transcribed as Jerrad and interestingly she is living next door to a Reed family who have a Sarah Hackworthy lodging with them, details ...............



Sarah Hackworthy 12 Mary Reed 22 William Reed 25 William Reed 8 Mo 1851



The Reed family are living next door to the Bradford's.



In 1841 there's a Sarah Hackworthy aged 1 living in Tiverton details........



James Hackworthy 3 Joan Hackworthy 35 John Hackworthy 6 Mary Hackworthy 11 Sarah Hackworthy 1 William Hackworthy 35



William is an agricultural labourer.



I find it interesting that this William's wife is named Joan......could there be a connection between her and Joan Terrad/Jerrad?



On Freebmd there's this marriage 1st quarter 1848 Crediton



William Reed to Mary Hackworthy or Elizabeth Spencer or Ann Venn or Mary Vickery
