Sharing the information that I have gathered with other researchers and including their information in the intricate Whitworth family web, has been a real bonus as I have expanded my research to include Whitworth families throughout the world. I have undertaken a one-name gathering of Whitworth family information that can now only be successfully managed as a very large computer database, running into thousands of items of information and connections. That one-name-study has now been registered with the Guild of One-Named studies.

My UK research of all Whitworth families has gone from strength to strength in the last few years. Despite this it will be some time yet before the ancestry of all Whitworth families can be traced to at least their sixteenth century origins. There are already strong connections between these country cohorts are being established. Connections which will ultimately guide research to a common family source in Lancashire are becoming more frequent. If you would like to know in more detail the present research position then please follow the link here

My research interests in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, USA and any other place where the Whitworth name can be found, is concentrated upon establishing links with families who have long since emigrated from the UK. Although the picture for Australia, New Zealand and Canada appears to be manageable there are at present too many unconnected families in the USA. You can see the current position with regards to the ancestry of some emigrated by people by following the link here

At the present time I can offer free help to anyone researching their Whitworth family ancestry who contacts me, giving details of their own interests. Any detail, no matter how small, can be extremely useful as one extra small fragment of information can often open up access to other researched family lines, that can result in ecstatic acclaim from an inquirer. So please let me know of any circumstances surrounding your queries.

At the present time I can offer free searches for the surname Whitworth on my Whitworth database.
