Hesketh of Simonswood
Message for Chris Szaba
Hello again Chris, thanks for the reply.
I am having problems with my e-mail at present hence me coming back to you through Genealogy.com
I actually traced the Hesketh's back in 1982-1985-ish but have only just gone on the internet at home. I have traced Henry's (possible) ancestry further back but, because I am not totally sure I wished to get in touch with others of his descendents to see what they had found through their own research.
If it's OK with you I would like to wait until you/other descendents come to some conclusions before telling you what I found further back. Unfortunately, the line I followed did not connect with any of the well known landed Hesketh lines but it is tantalisingly close to Rufford etc .... but I may be wrong - hence my interest in your research/conclusions.
My certain line of descent runs:
Henry Hesketh of Simonswood, Yeoman.
Founder of Hesketh of Simonswood etc.
Married Margaret Lytherland 1712
He died 1724.
I agree she remarried [to John Melling in 1726(7)].
Henry and Margaret's children as stated by yourself:
James of Kirkby, Yeoman. 1712(3)-1791
John of Simonswood, Husbandman. 1715-58
Jane b.1718, ? m George Sixsmith of Rainford.
William of Simonswood, Husbandman. 1721-1796.
