My name’s Olwen and I came across the Hebblethwaites of
Oporto, Portugal and Leeds because some of them married Presgraves (I’m not
related to either family). I’ve got some that I can’t figure out how they fit in
(or even if I’ve got the families correct):
Robert Hebblethwaite
born about 1793 who married Jane. I believe that Jane was born about 1798 in
Oporto, Portugal. Robert went to Ontario with their children and his wife stayed
in England (I lose her after the 1861 census, she may have died in Leeds in
1865). There’s a Robert Hebblethwaite baptised at St Peter’s, Leeds in 1792
whose father was also a Robert but no mention of a mother.
James Hebblethwaite
married to Eleanor, with daughters Mary Eleanor Hebblethwaite (born about 1837
and married the Rev. George Osborne Browne) and Amelia Isabella Hebblethwaite
(born about 1840). I have a James Hebblethwaite born 1788 – died 1841 who
married Mary Whiteley (daughter of the Rev Joseph Whiteley). Mary died in Oporto
in 1835 and I was wondering if they were one and the same James Hebblethwaite.
Mary Whitely’s sister, Sarah Isabella Whitely, married the
Rev. William Presgrave and their daughter, Eleanor Rosa Presgrave,
married James Edward Hebblethwaite born
abt 1823 in Oporto but I don’t know who his parents are. I’m guessing he’s
probably the brother of Joseph Whiteley Hebblethwaite (born abt 1821 in Oporto)
and John James Hebblethwaite (born 1818 in Oporto) who married 2 more of the
Rev. William Presgrave’s daughters, Emily Anne Presgrave and Mary Isabella
Presgrave respectively.
On the 1851 census, the Presgraves had a visitor recorded
as
Ellen Hibblethwaite, who I believe is
the Eleanor who married James Hebblethwaite from 2 paragraphs up.
Any help placing these Hebblethwaites would be greatly
appreciated. |
