Thread: JOHN REDWORTH

Hi everyone,

My particular Brick Wall is in trying to find, JOHN REDWORTH. His son Joseph Redworth was born Hampstead Middlesex c 1854. I have living relatives that have recall, that he, our Great Grandfather Joseph, spoke with a Welsh accent. He was also known as "Old Joe the Welshman". I have details of all Josephs Descendants, also that of his Wife and In-laws. Joseph's Marriage to Kate Boswell 1910, states on their Marriage Certificate that his father's name as John Redworth. Any leads as to his identity will be extremely appreciated.

Hello

Your post suggests that John REDWORTH was 56 years when he married in 1910, presumably this is correct and not a typo! So on that basis John was born at least in 1830!

Have you got the death certificate of John or Joseph REDWORTH, this my state how old they were when they died
Could this be your family?

1871 RG10 192 39 17
RIDWORTH John 52 Hampstead
RIDWORTH Sarah 48 Highgate
RIDWORTH John 23 Hightgate
RIDWORTH Joseph 20 Hampstead
RIDWORTH James 16 Hampstead
RIDWORTH Thomas 140Hampstead
RIDWORTH Elizabeth 11 Hampstead
RIDWORTH Mary 3 Hampstead

Hi Elsabels

Thank you for your reply to my brickwall. I think you may have misread my post.

It was Joseph Redworth who married on the 22nd December 1910, NOT his father John.

On the Marriage Certificate it states that Joseph Redworth age 55 years, Batchelor Farm Labourer, Residing at:- "Caravan" Manorway Plumstead Marsh. Fathers Name John Redworth (Deceased) Farm Labourer. To Kate Boswell age 57 years, Spinster, Hawker. (Of the same address) Fathers Name Zachariah Boswell (Deceased) No typing error.

With regard to the 1871 record showing Ridworth John 52 Hampstead and his listed family, implies that Joseph Ridworth was born c. 1851. In the 1851 Census, there is a John Redworth with a wife Sarah, a son William 7, a son Charles 5, a daughter Sarah 2, and a son Joseph 6months. If this is the same family as the Ridworth's of 1871 Census: the Census is normally taken about the end of the 1st quarter that would imply that Joseph Redworth / Ridworth were born 1850 if they are the same family. My Joseph's records so far to date doesn't show him to be earlier than 1854/5,

There is one anomaly, my grandfather's William Redworth c. 1876 got Married in 1896 it gives his father's name as Joseph Ridworth. (Was this a typo?)

There is nothing to show me that Joseph Ridworth (1871 Census) or that Joseph Redworth (1851 Census) on these records alone are the proof I am looking for.

Hi Noggin 28

Thank you for replying to my Brickwall Post. I am very familia with the records you've listed and have exhausted many others to be found in 1851 thru 1911 Census taken.

The first record you show gives Joseph with a good match for birth year. Unfortunately, it gives a father as James not John.

On the 2nd record listed it gives Joseph James Redworth as c. 1850. This does not tie in with other records, Marriage and Death Certificates which gives his YOB 1854/5
