Re: Wearmouths from England >> Dension, Crawford Co., Iowa

judymiller125 — 2010-04-30 16:29:24Z

The parents of a new baby soon to be born into my family have asked for a family tree. In response I have started to put together what I know.
That's what led me to your post. I believe we have great grandparents in common, William Wearmouth, Sr. and Mary Hird Wearmouth. My paternal grandmother was Florence Wearmouth Harvey. My father was Earl Harvey, who was orphaned young and I believe was the nephew of your grandfather, William Wearmouth, Jr. I have been able to trace the Harveys for several generations, but have not been able to find the Wearmouth-Hird history beyond the great grandparents. Do you have any additional information? I do remember Bill, Viola, Harry, Elizabeth (Ted), and I think I remember your mother, and a girl named Mikey (your sister?) who I was recruited to play with when she visited her Wearmouth grandparents in Denison, probably in the mid to late 50's, I also remember that Gayle used to stop in for an occasional visit when my parents were living.

billblack49 — 2009-09-17 19:57:15Z

William Wearmouth Jr. was my grandfather and died in Sioux City, Iowa when I was 12. He and his wife Viola, lived in Denison until most of the 1950. He was a self taught civil engineer and was for many years the Crawford county engineer. His daughter Mary Delores Wearmouth Black, my mother, died about 10 years ago. Her sister, Gayle Wearmouth is still alive and lives in the the Minneapolis area of Minnesota. She is the last living Wearmouth that I know of.

Harry Wearmouth, my great uncle, owned a farm in the Kingsley area. He also died in the 60s.

Family connections with Minnie Wearmouth

nuttycole — 2008-09-25 13:52:17Z

Minnie Wearmouth was my maternal grandmother, born 20/02/1887
in Hutton Henry, Easington, Co Durham ,England. Fther,m Robert(b10/04/1851) and mother Hannah (?b6/11/1855,nee Beckett?) Minnie was one of 11, born between 1874 and 1897(?); father was born Shildon, Co. Durham, and on 1881 census is listed as enginedriver/engineman in coal mine.
Minnie married John Thomas Williams in Sedgefield Registry Office 27/07/1907 and had 9 children (plus at least another 2 who died in infancy!) She lived in West Cornforth, a mining village in Co. Durham, and I guess her brothers would have been employed in the coal mines, as was her father, husband and sons. one (maybe 2?) of her brothers emigrated to Canada when they were still young men. Is there anyone reading this who may be descended from them. Brothers' names d.o.b. are: JohnWillie 27/4/1874; Robert 11/7/77;Tom 9/4/89; Joseph 16/1/92.
Minnies father Robert had a second marriage - don't know the name of 2nd wife, but they had 2 children, Edward & Edith.Think Edith was in Jesmond, Newcastle-on-Tyne in the 1980s and was Mrs N Johnson. Again, if anyone connected to Edward or Edith can shed any further light on my Wearmouth ancestors I would be v grateful! Thanks

Hi Ruth

Good to hear from you again. I really enjoyed getting your newsy email last year.
As it happens we are coming over to Australia later this year for the Rugby League World Cup. We awill be there for four weeks. Our first stop off is Melbourne for the Australia v England on 2nd November. We move onto Sydney on the 3rd ( the day before the Melbourne Cup.) Can't wait to see your beautiful country.
Haven't been in touch with anyone else recently concerning the family tree. I can see where you fit in as I have the ancestry link from Ray Wearmouth and all the details from his website. I usually hear from him at Christmas.
We now have several friends in Australia - friends who have played rugby league in England and we can also keep in touch via Facebook - technology eh?
I hope you and your family are well.
Best regards

Hi, Charlene,
John Wearmouth, of Port Tobacco, MD, is my first cousin, once removed. He has, with the help of other Wearmouths in England, traced our line back to the 1500s. He can be reached at stonesthrowantiques@verizon.net. He is quite passionate about the family and research. I mentioned your Jane to a member of our line who lives in England. His grandmother was a Jane Wearmouth, but she was married to a Swede named Davison and he didn't think your information fit into our line. Good luck with your searches.

The Wearmouths that moved from England to Ontario, and subsequently to the USA via Detroit have been researched extensively by a man named John Wearmouth. I have lost contact, but he lived in Port Tobacco, Maryland a few years ago. Might be able to help. My family is a later branch, that moved to Alberta right at the turn of the 20th century. All from around Durham though, in the Wear River valley.

Hi Karen

I saw on of your messages on Rootsweb and I'm wondering if your Wearmouth's have any connections to the Wearmouth's of Weardale in County Durham.

My Gt Grandmother was Ada Wearmouth - who was born in 1853/4 in (or near) Stanhope. She was the second wife of George Gowland who was born in 1855 in (or near) Stanhope.

Their children were:

William, born 1876 in Stanhope, County Durham. William moved to Canada.

John, born in 1877 in Stanhope, County Durham.

Elizabeth, born in 1880 in Stanhope, County Durham. She married a chap called Alfred Wright in May 1906 - after which they moved to Canada.

Emily - b 1884 in Westgate, County Durham.

Arthur - b. 1885 in Stanhope, County Durham.

Rhoda - b. 1886 in Westgate, County Durham. Rhoda married a chap with the surname of HALL

George - b 1888 in Westgate, County Durham. George died about the age of 30 in 1918.

Dora, - b. 1891 in Eastgate, County Durham. d.1953 in Cockfield, County Durham. Dora is my grandmother. She married Jonathan LINSLEY of Cockfield.

Eva May - b. circa 1897 in Eastgate, County Durham.

Jack - b. ?

I'm not sure of the date of her death but I do know thatAda and George were still alive in 1926

The 1881 and the 1901 census says that they were living at Hill House in Westgate, Weardale.

Paul;
Thanks for your quick response. The B&B idea sounds good, and I will check out Rose Hill website. The flats at that price would also be an option. I was expecting more, but I suppose I was hearing about London prices.
Sorry to hear the public transport is not so good. Maybe I will switch to summertime and bicycle, which is something I enjoy:).
Thanks again
Pat

Re: Weardale

2002-10-22 08:47:17Z

Hi Pat,

Renting a flat in Durham over the winter would be fairly cheap. I live in London at the moment so couldn't really give you an exact price but it couldnt be more than £50 a week. There are no trains that run up the valley anymore and the bus service is patchy. To explore the dales you would be better off staying in bed and breakfast accomodation which is plentifull and fairly cheap..in winter you would have no problems..Our farm has converted some barns for such a purpose..If you put Rose Hill Farm into a search engine you will find the web site.the Durham County Council website may have information on bus services etc.

Re: Weardale

2002-10-21 23:03:54Z

Paul.
I am one of the Canadian Wearmouth's. My branch left the Wear Valley about 1904 and came to Alberta in western Canada. The one reference always quoted by the elders, is that grandfather William and generations before him lived in the Brown House somewhere near Frosterly. I have quite a complete branch history going back to the the 1500's, thanks to another Wearmouth that researched this for years. He died about 6 years ago, and all his papers went to the University of Durham.

My main reason for writing is to ask what it would cost to rent a flat or something similiar in Durham for a month in the winter. I want to come over to the valley in the next two years to live for a bit, and explore. The other question is about transportation. Are there buses, trains that run from Durham west up the river valley?

Hope you can help, or anyone else over there for that matter.

Our branch of the Wearmouth clan came to Australia 7 gerations ago via payed voyage.

There are a lot of Francis' and Lances in our branch historically I believe.

Re: Great Grandfather Greatgrand mother

2002-09-15 16:20:21Z

Hello,
I am just beginning to research the Wearmouth family from England. My "first" Wearmouth is Jane, born 1809 and died 1882. She married Samuel Pearson. They had a daughter, Mary Ann Pearson, born 1837. Mary Ann married George Hall born 1825. As best as I know, these families were from the Newcastle area in northern England. George Hall came to the US shortly after the Civil War ended (c. 1870). His wife, Mary Ann Pearson Hall, remained in England with their 2 daughters.
Any help or information on the Wearmouth family in England would be most appreciated.

Hi Sarah,

Weardale is the valley that the River Wear runs down.In england a dale is another word for a valley. It starts with the village of Wearhead then down through St Johns Chappel, Westgate, Eastgate, Stanhope, Frosterly and the last village at the end is Wolsingham. It's all in Co.Durham. If you type in Weardale on a search engine you will get to see some photographs, it's a beautiful part of northen England.
We may well have some shared relatives as my family have lived only a few miles from St John's Chappel for about 150 years. Regards, Paul

Which part of England did John come from? I, too, have Wearmouth connections. I was told that originally the name Wearmouth came about, because the family was living at the Mouth of the Wear River. It seems that the family kind of split up and went different directions in County Durham.

Hi Guys,

can any of you trace your family back to Weardale in Co.Durham. There are loads of Wearmouths from this area and my branch of the family has farmed there for over 100 years.
We have an old bible at home where all births and deaths were recorded. I will certainly be asking my mam to go through it to see if any of our relatives match up.

Those names are Henry Stephen possiblie born in 1878, Ivo, Effie, and Esther. We also know that there was a Elmer McDonald who was believed to be a haklf brother to Henry Stephen. Elmer was born July 20, 1891 and died July 1966 in Des Moines, Ia. Would like any information on Emma or Ivo.

Re: Looking for Wearmouths in Michigan, history....

2002-01-11 04:43:37Z

To Karen Wearmouth - Have just finished reading through the Wearmouth messages. By now you may have found out most of the family history details you mentioned in your message. The siblings of the Robert and Mary Wearmouth family, and I knew them all, in rough order of birth, Marian 1926, Helen 1928, Robert 1929, Donald 1931 or 1932, William about1935, Frederick about 1937 and Virginia about 1939. It is my understanding that as of now, Robert and Donald are deceased. I am the oldest living descendant of John William and Christiana Oliver Wearmouth who lived in Detroit from roughly 1921 to 1945. Grandfather died June 1944 and his wife spent the rest of her life spending time with either of her two sons. She died in Kalamazoo County 1957. All four of my father and mother's children still live, three of them still live in western Michigan. I and my wife, Roberta, have lived in the Washington, D.C. area since 1949. We have lived in our present house in Port Tobacco, Maryland since 1958. We have two adopted children and three grand children.
There are now in this area 8 people with the surname Wearmouth.

Re: Wearmouth Family

2002-01-11 04:29:00Z

To Jennifer Wearmouth - I think your father is a son of Noreen, widow of Robert John who died quite a few years ago. His parents were Robert and Marian of East Detroit. I am a son of John William who was a brother of Robert and son of John William and Christiana Oliver Wearmouth.

Re: John Wearmouth

2002-01-11 03:55:14Z

To Marty Kogoll - Re: John William and Christiana Oliver Wearmouth. They left Durham County, England late in 1908 with their sons John (my father) and Robert and left the ship at Montreal about mid-winter. They soon traveled by rail to British Columbia and settled near Victoria on Vancouver Island in the suburb of Goldstream. My father joined the Canadian navy at Esquimaux Naval Base in 1915 at age 17. When the war ended he traveled to Detroit, Michigan to study automotive engineering and there met my mother, Grace Elizabeth Owen who was a registered nurse. My dad's family, including brother Robert joined him in Detroit and the senior Wearmouths made that city their home until the end of World War II. At age 78 I am the oldest living descendent of John W. and Christiana O. I was born Jan. 7, 1924, my sister Elizabeth Jean (Betty) (Charles Slack) was born July 31, 1925, my brother Robert Owen (Mickey) was born Aug. 17, 1929, my sister Alice Emily (Benjamin Pirrone) was born Nov. 30, 1931. I am the only one not born in Detroit. Between 1928 and 1937 the children of both Robert and John usually lived quite near each other on the east side of Detroit (not East Detroit). The last time I saw the Robert and Mary Wearmouth family was March 1946. On August 18, 1946 I married Roberta Clark in Battle Creek, Michigan and we are still a twosome!!

Marty, I am your cousin Cheryl (Cherie) Lynn Wearmouth Huffman. I live in Rome, Georgia. My sibs are Kevin J. and Lisa K. Our mother, Eileen, died in 1972. Our father, William E., is your mother's brother. He lives in Florida. Have you heard from him? I would like to contact or hear about Aunt Virginia's kids (Dawn, Eddie, Vickie and Patrick, I think) She lives in Arizona. Also, did our uncle, Frederick (Fritz) marry? Have children? Do you still live in Mich.?

lancet!

We have a lancet in our family tree, and loads of williams, but also Matthews.

Wearmouth's in Australia

We have some information from a Wearmouth in England about where our family fits into theirs. I have to find it all, but I wonder where all the US Wearmouth's fit in to the information we have. I have noticed in some of the other posts that it was mentioned that William was a common name - the information that we have suggests that Isaac and Lancelet were also common names.
I really have to find where i put all this stuff!!

If I hear anything I will let you know...

Well, it looks like we have a common interest, to learn more about our fathers' family. My dad is your great-uncle. He hasn't had contact with his family for like 20 years, he said most of them are liars and nuts! Ha ha. He is speaking only of his mother and siblings though. My dad remembers your father, Kevin, when he was younger of course, before his dad, Bill took off. He said he used to help Kevin fix his cars. It seems like your dad didn't have the best of childhoods...his mother died of brain cancer when he was relatively young, then his dad re-married and disappeared. How old are you, Linda? I am guestimating that you can't be more than 25-30 years old. I'm 26 years old. You live in Florida then? I live in Michigan. I plan on attending my fathers' mother's funeral service...maybe something will come up regarding your dad...I will let you know. Best of luck to you, I hope you find your dad, and get an opportunity to talk to him...

the reason we dont talk

2001-05-17 13:45:10Z

im not quite sure the reasons why he stopped calling me. just one day he stopped coming to pick me up and never returned calls. im not sure if it is because he didnt want to pay child support or what. i was only seven when this happened so i had really no control over the situation. now i just want to let him know who i am and my acheivements. i would also like to know if i have any brothers or sisters or not. it seems as if he hasnt been checking or replying to these message boards lately and honesty, im afraid of what his reaction will be once he realizes who i am. i know nothing about his side of the family and it would be nice to know who i am a part of. my mom got remarried when i was 4 which had a lot to do with the situation but now i think i am old enough to know who he is.

Like father, like son

2001-05-17 12:38:51Z

Hmmm, that's too bad you haven't had contact with your father...have you tried replying back to one of the messages he posted on this website? That's how I was able to contact him. Why don't you two talk?
