Harrop

[Country Boy]

Hi Harewoodhouse,
I don't think that we have talked before, as far as I am aware Varlow never went to London, but who knows, so that information could be of use to me.  The information that I am trying to source is reply no. 39. Looks like a ship manifest,

  hmm yes I remember putting that up because mumsie said their Harrops were "Hatters" and I remember I had come across some hatters leaving... now where did I get it from, yes it was a ships record which makes me suspect that it was found on the findmypast website as they have the ships records all though ancestry.com also has a lot of that info on it too ,  oh for my paperwork, which is all boxed up somewhere in the lock up until I find myself a new house I will have a good search on my computer  but that may not tell me as my sons bought me a new computer for mothers day last year and I had not put everything on it before we moved out of our last house. I will see if I can find that record of the theft as well, if I find anything I will post it on here for you....sue

I recently began to help a friend in tracing his Harrop lineage.  I have traced his family back to Henry Lee (or Lees) Harrop, b. circa 1837 in Tideswell, Derbyshire. He was a weaver, married to Sarah Smith, on 22 Nov 1857. Their son Charles, b. 28 May 1863, in Hyde, Cheshire, is the line I have followed down to my friend.

Although the marriage record for Henry and Sarah gives his father as Joseph Lees Harrop, a shuttle and ticker manufacturer, I have not been able to trace him. Henry and Sarah both lived on John Street in Hyde. Does anyone have any information on these people and their ancestors? I seem to have run into a block here.

  Hi there,
...lees Harrop is ringing a bell but alas I am still homless and all my stuff is still in lock up, I will look as soon as I can... But while house hunting I could not help myself and while I was down in Dunedin I decided to check out Harrop street, this is the only Harrop street in New Zealand and I wanted to find out exactly why it was called that, I knew that it was supposed to be because a William Harrop had left some money for a church to be built, but who was this William and where did he hail from ?
this is what I found out

[harewoodhouse]

I do have a small amount of info on other Harrops that came to New Zealand but as NZ does not have any old records such as census etc there really is only the old papers and BMD to go by and as the BMD is not searchable and you need the names and dates to get a certificate this makes it very hard for people looking for people in NZ

back to William Harrop, I do know he did not come into New Zealand on any registered passenger ship, maybe he came over on a cargo ship with his team of horses?

Yesterday, I received a personal message by Country Boy in reply to my request for information about Henry Lee Harrop. When I clicked on the link, I was told "An Error Has Occurred!  You are not allowed to send personal messages, or your personal message limit has been reached".

Since this is the first personal message I have received, I don't think my limit has been reached. Can someone help me to access this message?

Firstly thank you for this information it started me on my trail of finding my Harrop family

Just want to correct some information about Harrop's in New Mills Derbyshire.

in the 1991 census you talk about a family

Robert Harrop Butcher from Tong Yorkshire
Kate Oldham wife from Newbury
Joesph son

Just to correct Kate is from Norbury which is an area of Hazel Grove down the Present A6 road towards Stockport.

The census record shows it as "Chester" (the county) and then "Norbury" the district.

For the record Robert and Kate are my Great Grandfather and Great Grandmother they had another son John Faulkner Harrop Born 1893 who is my Grandfather. He is mentioned on the 1901 census, after the Death of his Father in 1899, as still living with Kate and his brother in New Mills. The Family then returned to Hazel Grove where Kate re Married to Washington Hallworth a Newsagent. I have traced the family line back to John Harrop from Osset in Yorkshire born 1820, I have been able to go further back on Roberts mothers side.

Hi there,
I have been told that one name interests is not the place to put up all my lists of Harrops and where they can be found, so they have been removed by the moderator, he has put them up for a day or two to allow me to copy them and then they will be permanently removed so if you want to copy them do it now you will find them on a separate  locked thread at the top, or if they are gone before you get the chance you can private mail  me your email address and I will send them to you as a word document. sorry about that...sue
