Haworth/Taylor marriage record in Darwen

[Jean Mayo]

Martha Haworth was born Oct. 10, 1861 on High Street in Lower Darwen, daughter of Fielding Haworth and Mary Hacking. Fielding was a cotton spinner. I have the Hacking genealogy all worked out, but so far, not the Haworth genealogy. Martha Haworth married in ca. 1882-83 John Taylor, also of Lower Darwen, son of John Taylor and Ann ( Outram ) Gutteridge. I am searching for the marriage record of Martha Haworth and John Taylor and the family origins of Martha Haworth...especially her father, Fielding Haworth's, parents and family origins. Any help at all would be very much appreciated to provide me with some new leads to explore.

Further note: Martha Haworth's death record in New Bedford, MA. names her father as Thomas Haworth, which I know from multiple sources is not so. So I am thinking that perhaps Thomas was his legal name and Fielding was his middle name that he used in every day life; or perhaps, more likely, one of Martha's children made a mistake and Thomas was actually Fielding's father. And on it goes!

Hi

A copy of their marriage cert will give you his fathers name and occupation which will confirm whether the IGI entry is the correct one

Lancashire Marriage indexes for the years: 1844

HACKING Mary HAWORTH Fielding Blackburn, St Mary the Virgin (Blackburn Cathedral) Blackburn CE12/6/498

The 1871 census shows him as 48 so b approx 1823 so this could be him from the IGI

Fielden <Haworth> 
  Male     

Christening:  03 APR 1823   Saint Paul, Blackburn, Lancashire, England

Hi Jean

I found the following on 1841 Lower Darwen

HO107/503/5 pg.37  Sorry I cannot read the name of the place

William Howarth 60 Cotton Weaver
Ellen Howarth 60
Caroline Howarth 19 Cotton Piecer
Fielden Howarth 19       "         "

There is a Willaim 50 and Margaret 50 and a Thomas 50 and Ann 50, but no Thomas and Margaret together.  However I will look further for you.

There were quite a few Howarth families in Lower Darwen.
If you would like me to add them to this post, please let me know.

I will take another look through, because I don't think I reached the end of Lower Darwen last night.  Also you will notice some names have no occupations, that is because they were not listed.  I will re-check the place names as well, some of the place names are very hard to read, if I knew the area I would probably know what they were.
