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!
