Thank you Radcliff,
I'm printing all that out to study more carefully.

Thank you Mo!
Your research means so much to me and my family.  We will be visiting the Queen Street Mill and other museums in Burnley.  I'm sure my kids will take special interest in learning what these inventions are and how they work.

Thank you!  I'm watching as all of this unfolds.  I have a few questions:  Is it reasonable that Esther would also be called Emma?  I assume they are the same person.    Also, why would Esther be listed as a nurse at age 10? 

So, the invention I'm looking for is a cramp, not a clamp.  Somebody read it wrong in our family records.  Has anything turned up on a Hayhurst who invented such a thing?

Hello, In preparation for our family trip to England (from the US) I'd like to see how far back we can go with my grandfather Albert Berry, born 29 May, 1902 in or around Burnley. 

His parents were Esther Hayhurst and Thomas Berry (a butcher?) .  I have no dates 

Esther's parents were Isabella Crossley and William Hayhurst (my aunt's notes say "His father invented the clamp . . . used to live in Haversham Eaves) 

I would be very interested to know about this clamp of Mr. Hayhurst's.  It sounds very interesting, especially since I'll be touring museums relating to the industrial revolution with my teenage children.

OK, thank you Luzzu and others, I think this is as far as I can go on my grand mother's side for now.  I will now start work on my grandfather's side.  We leave in 3 days to visit England and we're just so excited. This information will provide such an important background for our trip.

So, looking at John H. Nuttall's dad, William Nuttall (1860-1998), it looks like he was the illigitimate son of Sarah Nuttall (b. 1838).  Is there any information about Sarah's parents?

William would have been about 5-7 years younger than his  wife Mary Ann Riley.  He didn't stay around very long.  Most likely their marriage didn't work out.  But where did he go?  Did he remarry? or was he in the military?

Isy, I see you have Rileys in your list.  Do Mary and Susannah tie in to your family tree?

Interesting information here.  But it opens a lot of mysteries.  

Why is John Nuttall listed as "gr son" in the Addison household?
According to today's other posts, his mother's maiden name was Riley, and of course his dad's side is Nutall.    I am also confused as to who all these other Nuttalls are, living in the Addison house.


Luzzu, My aunt's notes say nothing about when or how John's father, William, died, but we didn't have his mother's name (which you and the others have now supplied). All it says is that she died early.  (John must have been about 14 at the time.) So I might guess that, William Nuttall lived longer and perhaps was around to meet the next generation.
