STALLWORTHY 1891 request

[Koromo]

Hi Wendy!

Welcome to RootsChat!    Now, I'm trying to decide which of Alice Stallworthy's children your friend is related to!

You are very welcome to use any information you find here - in fact, I recommend you do a search for the name Stallworthy (look at the very top of any RootsChat page) to find other posts I've made about them.

I know quite a lot about the Stallworthys, and about George Burnett's father, Rev George Stallworthy the missionary who is my great great grandfather, and yes, George Burnett was born in Samoa and was sent home to go to a school in Mornington Crescent!!  Much of the information has come from family sources, and I am in touch with another relative of Alice, too.

How far have you got with them all? Is there something you especially want to know right now?   

Cheers
Koromo

Hi again Wenda (sorry I didn't get your name right the first time  )

I used to be the only person here who was looking for the Stallworthy name, but I see now that someone else also has Stallworthys in her family.  However, her line typically came from the Great Yarmouth, Norfolk area and many ended up as shoemakers in London. I have never been able to establish a link between my Stallworthys from Buckinghamshire and the Norfolk ones.

Best wishes
Koromo

PS Just seen your second message!
You say 'your' Stallworthys were from Buckinghamshire - but George Burnett & family were living in Norfolk in 1881. WOuldn't that indicate a connection?

No, I don't think so.  It may have been coincidence that he ended up there to be the Congregational minister. His immediate Stallworthy line can be traced back in Buckinghamshire to at least the 1740s.

I'll send you a personal message with my email address.

Dear Stallworthy posters

I am the Secretary of www.thechapelatbillingshurst.com

We have a plaque dedicated to Rev. Stallworthy. If anybody is interested I can send a photo of this.
He may have been a minister of our Chapel.
Get in touch if interested.

Hi Stuart

Welcome to RootsChat.

Thank you for your offer of sending a photo of the plaque dedicated to Rev George Burnett STALLWORTHY who was my gr-grandfather's half brother.  I believe that Rev George was at Billingshurst for only about a year from 1921 until his death on 11 August 1922 (according to the Surman Index of Congregational Ministers).

If you post a reply here, the private messaging facility will be activated so that I will be able to send you my email address.

Thank you Koromo,
I would be delighted to take a photo and send it to you. I'm, so pleased that I have been able to find out who the plaque is about. If you have a paragraph or so about him, I would like to be able to put it next to the plaque and add it to our little museum of artefacts.

Best wishes,

Stuart
