Hi Sharon...The only info. I found was where Enos arrived in Sydney June 23, 1913; no children listed. I can't see him going that far with young children by himself. Could he have left the children with someone else; maybe Nellie's family? If you find anything out about the children; please let me know. I'll let you know what other info. I may find.

Hi Carol-I have just found a Springthorp(e)connection and noticed your message although it was a number of years ago I thought I would contact you anyway.
Clara was the sister of Enos Knowles(b.1878) who after the death of his first wife Nellie(b.1883) married my great aunt Minnie Earnshaw (b.1889).
Clara and Enos were children of Enos Knowles (B.1845) and Sarah (B.1843)
I was looking into the Knowles family as when Enos married Minnie he had children from his first marriage--according to the family Enos left Minnie and went off to start a new life in Australia but no one knew if he went on his own or with any of the children.I do not know of any divorce and Minnie was always known as Mrs Knowles-
If you have any other information I would love to hear from you
Regards Sharon

Thank you for your reply

I believe they were living in Langley Mill,after Enos left Minnie took a job as housekeeper in Nottigham.She always kept the name Minnie Knowles and as she was on her own she always spent Christmas with us at my grandfather's

If you come across any further information about him or his children I would be interested to hear

Thanks again Regards Sharon

I'm sorry but all I ever found on Enos was that he married Minnie 1912 in Basford. If I find anything else out I will let you know. BTY, before he went to Austrailia; was he living in Langley Mill or another town?

I am sorry I have not researched Enos. My interest was in his sister Clara who was my Great Grandmother. Good luck in your research.

Kind regards,

Hi there saw your message re Clara (Knowles) Springthorpe (1867) from Langley Mill.
My interest is in her brother Enos (1877)also from Langley Mill and I wondered if you had any information about him or his children.
His first wife was called Nellie (1882) and they had 5 children Reginald (1902) Richard (1903) Ethel(1905) Gertrude(1906) and Henry(1908) Nellie had died by 1911 and a Minnie Earnshaw was living with them as housekeeper and she eventually married Enos.
Minnie and my grandfather were brought up as brother and sister and were very close.
Minnie was very fond of the children and cared for them - the family do not know why but Enos went off to Austrailia - Minnie did not go with him and we do not know if the children went with him
It would be of interest to find out what happened to them.Good luck wiith your searches and thank you Sharon Kirk

Springthorpe Leicester and Ashby de la Zouch -- brick wall help needed.

mjsjava — 2009-04-03 08:29:05Z

Does anyone have information on the following?

William Springthorpe who was alive in 1683, cordwainer, father of William and Richard the younger, married to an Ann.

Richard Springthorpe the eldest also alive in 1683, tailor, father of Richard the youngest, possibly married to Mary.

Richard Springthorpe the younger, cordwainer, married Ruth Ash in Ashby de la Zouch and died there in 1696. Father of William, Sarah who died in infancy, and at least one other son -- name unclear in copy Will.

Richard Springthorpe christened 1716 Ashby de la Zouch, father Richard.

Trying to trace the parentage of the Richard christened 1716 in ADLZ and to see if it ties into the Springthorpe's in Leicester.

Any help or suggestions much appreciated as I seem to have come to a dead end.

I am also going to post this message on the Leicester boards.

Thank you.
Marilyn

Hi Carol,
Yes we were in touch some time ago. I have been researching other areas of my tree and have come back to the Springthorpes because of a message I saw on these boards. It was from a Jacqui Moreton and was posted several years ago saying she was researching her grandmother's family. Her grandmother was Clara Maud Springthorpe who was also my grandmother, although I do not know of any Moretons anywhere in the family. So as you can imagine my curiosity was well and truly aroused. I did send her an e-mail, but her address may have changed, or other circumstances, so I am pursuing any avenue I can to try to connect the threads. I know you were in touch with a lady called Barbara Springthorpe. If either of you have any information I would be most grateful.
Kind regards,
George Manchester

Thanks for your reply. I think we were in contact a couple yrs. ago about our family when I sent you some of my info. Enos was a brother of my gr-grandfather. Have you found any more on this family?

Re: Springthorpe and Knowles

manchtg60 — 2008-10-23 11:37:50Z

Clara Knowles father was Enos, and his father was William. Clara Sprinthorpe (aged 5 in your message) was my grandmother. If you need or can supply any more information please get in touch.

Agnes Springthorpe & Daniel Munro

Hilary_Hill — 2007-08-19 01:12:28Z

Hi there
I'm looking for an Agnes Springthorpe who married my g-g-uncle Daniel Munro. I know very little about either of them except Daniel was born in Rosskeen in Scotland in 1883 to Alexander Munro & Elspet (Elsie) Douglas, I'm guessing Agnes would be around the same age give or take a few years.
In the 1901 census, Daniel was unmarried & living in Inverness, working as a steam engine fitter. We think he was in the navy at some stage & he lost an arm at some time but we don't know how or when. The next we know of him is his death in 1962 in Edinburgh where he is listed as the widower of Agnes Springthorpe, he worked as a colliery pump man. His son-in-law James Murray signed the death certificate.

I know this is a long shot but I'd love to hear from anyone if you have Agnes in your tree, or maybe a James Murray from Edinburgh as a relative.

Re: 2 JOHN SPRINGTHORPES - from England to Australia

The following is a verbatim copy of a letter received from Lance John Springthorpe dated 26 Feb 1969 in response to a letter sent by Geoffrey George Springthorpe.

Dear Sir,

How different outlooks people can have. Here you are making a study of your relations whereas I, for the last 55 years have kept out of their way.

However some of the names in your letter bring back long forgotton memories.

Frederick Springthorpe was my uncle. I think he was in the shoe business. He died of cancer of the throat. He was a nice fellow. His son Eric had a heart attack when playing cricket - went to hospital and married his nurse. He was later a wool classer. He should be dead by now. Agnes - I know nothing of her later life.

Arthur Springthorpe was my uncle. He suffered from gout in later life. His daughter Bessie married a Mr Wiltshire who owns a shipping company trading with Japan. She might still be alive at about 79.

J.W. Springthorpe was, as you say, John William and my father. He was a well known Melbourne doctor. He went to the 1914 - 1918 became a Major in charge of a hospital in Egypt. He died about 1930. He has another son - Guy - who is at present a doctor in Melbourne, I don't know his address but Dr Guy Springthorpe, Melbourne would find him.

A sister Enid - married a Mr Totton and is now living in England. Guy would have her address and she knows everybody.

Also a Superintendant Springthorpe of the CIB (polic) was also a cousin of mine. He told me so. He died a couple of years ago of a heart attack. He has a daughter who is also in the Police Force.

This is about all I know. I hope it may help you.

I correct my own name - Lance John Springthorpe.

Barbara, don't know if you get anything out of that, but I have more information like that, if you would like me to send it.

Re: 2 JOHN SPRINGTHORPES - from England to Australia

foxxy65 — 2006-01-02 12:01:45Z

Hi Barbara,

Happy to send you more info, but have too much. If you would be happy to email me at gcfox@tpg.com.au, and if I could get a postal address I will be happy to send more info onto you. Shirley Springthorpe tells me of her story that her father Willie and my great grandfather Arthur (brothers) would spend time at your Springthorpe's house in Balmain and how Arthur set fire to the curtains upstairs. Shirley's father would tell her how he could see the tall ships coming into Sydney Harbour from the top floor of the Springthorpe house.

I am convinced that they may have been cousins or second cousins, that they are related further up the line.

Have also found the reason why John Henry Springthorpe 1851 - 1898 died in Perth, WA, Australia. His family and wife wanted him as far away as possible, apparently he was a drunk. So he did, you can't get further away from Sydney.

Will get back in contact with Shirley, I'm sure she has more info. Next time I email you, I will give you that contact.

Regards, Cass

I find it interesting that we share the names John, Arthur and William.

I have been contacted by John and Dwight Springthorpe from the US, who have seen my messages on Genforum. Do you know of these two? They have a William Springthorpe born Anstey Parish, Leicestershire, son Samuel, son John.
