Hubberstey Family History (Hubbersty too!)
This is the old version of the site. I have redone many of the posts in a hopefully more readable format. To get to the new front page - click HERE.
Complete list and brief description of all the posts on this blog. (Note: If you are having trouble sorting through the information drop me an e-mail and I will try and point you in the right direction).
1. Way Back - Yealand Conyers: A look back at one of the earliest clusters of Hubbersteys that is available to us from church records. Yealand Conyers is in the Lancaster area.
2. The Quakers and a few Hubbersteys: Two of the early members of the Quakers (the Valiant 60) were Hubbersteys. There are connections to Kendal and Yealand Conyers.
3. The 1200's and Hubberstey Head: Hubberstey Head near Kendal seems to point to the earliest Hubbersteys, although possible as "Ubberstede"
4. Hubbersteys at Samlesbury 1: One of the earliest detailed descriptions of a Hubberstey lineage is of the line coming out of Samlesbury/Brindle (between Preston and Blackburn).
5. Hubbersteys at Samlesbury 2: We use the information in the previous post to start filling in the details on the Samlesbury line.
6. Samlesbury 3: We look at 7 of the children of Robert Hubberstey and Mary Watson (married Feb 12, 1767)
7. Samlesbury 4: The story of Thomas, the 8th child of Robert Hubberstey and Mary Watson. This is the line that eventually leads to me.
8 Samlesbury 5 - Destination Canada: Two separate lines emanating from Thomas ended up emigrating to Canada.
9. Links to the USA (Rewritten Dec 2008): There are some Hubbersteys in the USA. Here we try to find out where they came from.
10. The 1901 census: The 1901 is the latest census for which we have data. I have included some statistics on the 141 Hubbersteys that I have found so far in the 1901 census records.
11. The Wirksworth Connection: This post looks at a different line of Hubberstys, one that was centered in Wirksworth for quite some time, and originally seems to have come from the Kendal area.
12. Cambridge University links: There are records of 9 Hubbersteys attending Cambridge University prior to 1900. We look at these 9 individuals.
13. London Calling: This post traces a line of Hubbersteys that started in Fallen Yew/ Underbarrow and ended up in London for a while.
14. North Preston 1 - John and Isabella - Robert and Jane: Returning to the Preston area we start to look at lines other than the Samlesbury line. In this post we look at the offspring of John and Isabella Waiton, namely Robert Hubberstey b. 1787.
15. North Preston 2 - John and Isabella: In this post we look at the offspring of John and Isabella Weaton (who may be the same as in the prior post). The post centers on the descendants of Thomas b. 1803.
16. North Preston (3) John and Anne Swarbrick (Updated Feb./2009): This entry follows the descendants of John Hubberstey and Anne Swarbrick. Although this is a North Preston line, it may be related to the Samlesbury line as well.
17. North Preston 4 - Whittingham Line: Here we begin to look at the children of 2 Hubbersteys and 2 Bambers from the Whitingham/Goosnargh area.
18. North Preston - Whittingham (M) Line: We follow the children of James and Margaret, and their children through to 1901.
19. North Preston - Whittingham (A) Line: We follow the children of John and Alice, and their children through to 1901.
20. 1901 Census, roll forward of males under 40 (Aloysius to James). I try and trace the younger males forward in time from the time of the 1901 census. The names are in alphabetical order, and provide a lineage link, so if you know an ancestor on this list you can trace the relationship back using the pages above.
21. 1901 census roll forward of males under 40 (John - Richard).
22. 1901 census roll forward of males under 40 (Robert to William).
23. Was James of James and Anne swarbrick the son of Robert and Mary (Watson)?:
24. Was Isabella Weaton the same person as Isabella Waiton? : I have tried to assemble all the evidence that I can find to look at whether the two Isabellas were the same person. If so then we can join two of the Hubberstey lines..
25. Garstang to Samlesbury?: While looking at the old Garstang records I found that Robert Hubberstey from Brindle (our start to the Samlesbury line) was buried in Gartstang.
26. The 1911 census: A total of 164 entries show up for Hubberstey (and the spelling variants).
27. Some fun stuff: Odds and ends and interesting tidbits.
more soon...
