Ireland / Re: Dilworth family name
« on: Sunday 09 April 06 16:54 BST (UK) »
Hi just wondered if you knew the following:
1st - DILWORTH
The earliest surname which appears on record is of OTOCK de DILWORTH (de means of) who lived in the village of Dillesworth, Dylworth, Dilworth during 1st half 13c and had 16 acres of land. This was before adoption of surnames, so we find this yeoman OTOCK of DILLSWORTH the name of the place where he lived, in time becoming the surname of his descendants.
It is believed that all the DILWORTH, , DILLWORTHS etc descend from him.
OTOCK de DILWORTH 1256 His Children -Hugh died 1284 married Julianna
and and he had daughter Matilda.
Origin of the name DILWORTH means WHERE THE DILLS GROW.
source OF INFORMATION: from a historian/genealogist who researched the DILWORTH family around 1903. (haven't managed to track down this information, just saw a reference about it). He also stated that all DILWORTHS are direct descendants of a Lord Singleton but have not found any other records etc which confirm this.
DILWORTH is NR Longridge Preston Lancashire England
Only James which I can bring to hand at moment is James Dilworth 1686-1758 from the above area. Going by memory now, as I did all my research years ago, and cannot find it at the moment. He may have moved to the Manchester Area, and was in the cotton industry and later moved to the states. I have the above james ancestors and some of his direct descendants. This is in my family tree.
Hope this of interest, if I can be of further help just let me know
