Re: Winstanley's

mmwinstanley1 — 2011-10-08 17:58:56Z

My Great-Grandfather was Sydney Lambert Winstanley, married to Florence Johnson, my Grandfather was Frederick Joseph Winstanley I , and my father is Frederick Joseph Winstanley II. This is for anyone interested in fabulous old family photos!!!! I have so many, some from the 1800's..i am interested in knowing more about my great-grandfather, sydney lambert Winstanley's siblings and especially his parents. My great grandfather married a nurse, Florence Johnson and his parents were set against it , believing that he was marrying beneath his "class", and so they married anyway and moved to Cananda with her family already there and eventually moved to Detroit. I live w/in a few miles of where my great granfather Sydney was killed walking to buy a newspaper by a drunk driver..My father gave me so many old family documents and photos and I am very interested in knowing about the Winstanley's my great grandfather descended from. As far as I know they lived in Birkenhead accross the Mersey River from Liverpool and were pretty upper-class with a thriving family business. Perhaps Rebecca Vancamp and I are related???? Exciting stuff!!!

I am researching the victims of the Hillcrest Mine disaster of June 19, 1914 at which time John Sands the nephew of one Samuel Winstanley of NB Canada was killed. Are we both researching the same Samuel Winstanley? If so kindly reply.

I am trying to find information on the two marriages of Samuel Winstanley born in Wigan in 1876 or 1877. The second marriage was 12/31/1904.He married Beatrice Sudworth of Nicol Lane. I thought the first marriage was to Annie Conway in 1895. I can not find anything on her death.
When Samuel married in 1904 it said he was a widower.Any help would be greatly appriciated.

Who were the parents of Samuel Winstanley (1768-1845)

melindi — 2009-07-21 13:21:00Z

My mother's maiden name is Maud Winstanley b1920. I have traced her direct ancestors back to my gt gt gt grandfather Samuel. According to the IGI he was born in Pemberton, Lancs in 1768 but no parents names were given.
He enlisted in the Foot Guards 1798 (where?); was in London by Dec 1799; married, Jane Morgan March 1800; and had at least 4 children - John Thomas 1803, Elizabeth (possibly a nun), Samuel 1811 and Mary Ann 1814.
Although my tree is private, I have some records relating to his army days and descendants (Westminster area) which I am willing to share.
Waiting in hope, Diane

Hi, I am looking for some information about my grandmother, Dorothy Amy Winstanley (nee Tree). She was born 6 August 1909 to Charles Henry Tree in Bearsted, Maidstone, Kent, I believe. She passed away in September 1986.

Hi, my grandfather was Samuel Winstanley and my grandmother was Beatrice Sudworth. As far as I know they came to Canada around 1911. As for John I have never heard of him.My grandfather died in 1948. He worked in the mines in Glace Bay Nova Scotia. What ever happen to John and why did he not come with them? Its puzzling and it has my interest going full tilt. One of they children was born in Wigan and came to Canada when he was 8moths old. They had ten other children and adopted one girl. Let me know what you can. Thanks Ron Winstanley.

Hi Peter,

The WINSTANLEY's are a frustrating bunch, they seemed to have a very small selection of Christian names and there were so many of them! I have the same problem with mine, William and James being the favoured names all down the line apparently.

I started a WINSTANLEY Group November 2006, and we have 21 members so far, some with ancestors in Wigan, Pemberton and Orrell, if you would care to join us, please contact me direct and I will send an invitation direct from the website.

Peter - My family did not have anyone that emigrated. They were all in and around Pemberton from 1780 - where my researches have stopped because of proving a mother's name to Henry. It is a fact that the Wigan area has more than enough Winstanleys. Good luck with your researches.

Re: henry winstanley

PeterGunston87 — 2006-12-31 03:56:45Z

My Grandfather on my mothers side was Alfred Allen Winstanley married to Emily Colenso.
I have information on this branch of the family.
Going back up the Winstanley line as you have stated was Henry married to Annie Allen in 1854 and his father was William Born 18 Nov 1788 died 7 Feb 1842. married to Elizabeth Finch in 1817.
His father may have been Edward Winstanley-Smith b 14 March 1761.

My records show your Henry as a brother to AA Winstanley married to a Louisa with no surname. They appear to have had 11 children of whom I have christian names but little else. one daughter is Mary Jane(Kit).
As your post is over 18 months ago I am not sure if you will get this reply.
I am live in Melbourne.

Re: Winstanley family - Pemberton and Orrell

PeterGunston87 — 2006-12-31 03:35:06Z

I too have a greatgrandfather Henry Winstanley born Wiggan 12 November 1831. He came to Australia and married Annie Allen in 1854.

His father was a William Winstanley (18 Nov 1788 to 7 Feb 1842), married to Elizabeth Finch 31 Mar 1817.

The previous link was to a Edward Winstley Smith B 14 Mar 1761. but this info is not positive.

Tracing family history in England is difficult from Australia especially as Winstanley appears to be a common name in the UK. Any assistance,would be much appreciated.

The family history in Australia is well documented.
