Kenworthy Family Yorks 1890s

[Ladyhawk]

I have recently started trying to trace back our family tree as we know very little about our grandparents.

 I'm trying to find members of the KENWORTHY family from DELPH Yorkshire around the turn of the century.

 I believe my geat grandfather to be EDWARD KENWORTHY...a butcher. he was married to MARTHA (Gartside) and had a number of children including Emma, Alice, Hugh and Grant.

I believe they may of had a daughter called SARAH, born in 1891....just after the census.

I have found a Sarah Kenworthy in the same area on 1901 census listed as a visitor with a family names Robinson.

Just confirming births from Yorkshire BMD with mmn GARTSIDE

I found Alice Kenworthy aged 13 on 1891 census at the BULLS HEAD INN.  Emma shaw was the landlady.....possibly Alices aunt. on 1901 census Alice seems to be in the poor law work house Running Hill.

Poor girl doesnt sound like she had much fun in life...

Hugh married Elizabeth Hannah Basford, 4 aug 1910, in Saddleworth, 1910. and had 6 daughters one being Annie born 5 march 1912 ( my mother).
Edward was a Journeyman butcher and at some time or other had a pork butchers Shop in King Street, Delph ( a village in Saddleworth)
Edward was born qtr 1 in Saddleworth and Martha born 1852 also in Saddleworth.
 just as a note Emma Jane was licensee of  a Pub also in King Street possible married name of Shaw.
