+38 v. William RISHWORTH.

 

 

 

SEVENTH GENERATION

30.  John RISHWORTH was born in 1646.  He was christened on 24 Jun 1646 in Kildwick.  He was living in 1680 in Gilgrange.10  Is this the John RISHWORTH buried at Addingham on 16 Aug 1728?

 

He was married to Ann HORSFALL in 1688.  The following marriages are recorded in Addingham and may be descendants of

this line:

 

1723 John Lister and Ann Rishworth 9 of May.

 

John Rishworth, Mary Lister 10 Oct.

 

 

 

There is also a marriage in 1728 of William Cockson & Mary Rishworth on June 1.

 

 

 

There is also a marriage of Samuel Atkinson to Sarah Rishforth at Addingham on

24 Feb 1714, but note that this is not Rishworth.  John RISHWORTH and Ann HORSFALL had the following children:

 

39 i. Thomas RISHWORTH was born in Feb 1680 in Gilgrange.11  He died in Feb 1680 in Kildwick.12

 

31.  William RISHWORTH was born in 1648.  He was christened on 29 Oct 1648 in Silsden, Kildwick Parish.13  He was living in 1702 in Gilgrange.  He signed a will on 2 Jun 1705 in Gilgrange.14  This Will shows that:

William Rishworth, yeoman of Gilgrange, also with property at Eastburn and Addingham Moorside made his Will on 2 June 1705 and had obviously died by the date of the Inventry on 31 Jul 1705, and that he had a wife Elizabeth, son Thomas, daughter Anne, and brothers John and Thomas.  Or RISHFORTH.

 

He was married to Elizabeth MOORHOUSE on 9 Oct 1699 in Addingham.  William RISHWORTH and Elizabeth MOORHOUSE had the following children:

 

+40 i. Thomas RISHWORTH.

41 ii. Anne RISHWORTH was living in 1705 in Gilgrange.

 

32.  Thomas RISHFORTH was born in 1654.  He was christened on 5 Jan 1654 in Kildwick.15  It is debateable as to whether or not this Thomas is the son of Thomas and Ann or Thomas and Elizabeth (all of Gilgrange) – see Kildwick PR.  He was buried on 3 Feb 1738 in Addingham.  Addingham PR p88 1738 bur 3 Feb Thomas Rishworth.  He was a Yeoman in Moorside, Addingham..  He was living in Addingham Moorside.

 

He was married to Jane STIRK (daughter of Francis STIRK) on 2 Nov 1697 in Kildwick.16 Jane STIRK was buried on 21 Jan 1750 in Addingham (Widow).  Addingham parish record (on Fiche) reads, “1750, Burial. Jane Rishworth, widow

Jan 21”.  Thomas RISHFORTH and Jane STIRK had the following children:

 

42 i. Ann RISHFORTH was born in 1700.  She was christened on 4 Mar 1700 in Addingham.  Addingham PR p69 1700 bapt 4 Mar Ann daughter of Tho: Rishforth  She was buried on 27 Apr 1704 in Addingham.  Addingham PR p71 1704 bur 27 Apr Anne daughter of Thomas Rishforth

+43 ii. Thomas RISHWORTH.

+44 iii. William RISHFORTH.

 

38.  William RISHWORTH was christened on 16 Mar 1662 in Bingley.

 

William RISHWORTH and Grace RODGERS had the following children:

EIGHTH GENERATION

40.  Thomas RISHWORTH was born in 1702 in Gilgrange.  He was baptised on 9 Aug 1702 in Kildwick.18  He was a Yeoman in 1732 in Gilgrange.  He was living in 1732 in Gilgrange.  He died in 1772 in Thwaites, Bingley.19  Surely this must be this Thomas?  He was living in 1772 in Thwaites, Bingley.  He was a Genteleman in 1772 in Thwaites, Bingley.

 

He was married to Mary CLAPHAM on 6 Apr 1732 in Kildwick.20  Is this the one we have a Will for Thos. Rishworth of Thwaits at Bingley who died in 1772? Mary CLAPHAM was born in Uttley, Keighley.  Thomas RISHWORTH and Mary CLAPHAM had the following children:

 

46 i. Thomas RISHWORTH.  Eldest son who inherited Thwaites at Bingley and some property at Addingham Moorside.

+47 ii. William RISHWORTH.

 

43.  Thomas RISHWORTH was born in 1704.  He was baptised on 13 Mar 1704 in Addingham.21  He died on 14 Sep 1771 in Ramsgill, Ilkley..22  He was buried on 14 Sep 1771 in Ilkley.23  He was a Yeoman, carrier. in Ramsgill, and Little or Lower Woodhouse, and/or Crawshaw, llkley..  Note from “Ilkley: Ancient & Modern”, page 235, RUSHFORTH:  “Thomas b. 1712, of Ramsgill, and Little or Lower Woodhouse, yeoman, carrier, died 1771.” – This date of birth is wrong, and so is the rest of the earlier family tree at this source. Also note the variation in place names explained at page 224: “CRAWSHAY. – Richard, of Woodhouse, sometimes called Crawshay after him, buried May 19, 1676. Helena, his wife, was buried Feb. 15, 1675. Their sons were Richard, of Nether Woodhouse, yeoman, died 1721, will proved same year; and John, of Woodhouse, yeoman, died 1718. Harrison, son of John died 1716.”

 

He was married to Sarah COWLING (daughter of Thomas COLLING and Sara BOOTH) on 11 Sep 1729 in Kildwick.  Kildwick PR: 1729 marriage Sep 11 Tho. Rishforth of the Parish of Addingham, Yeoman, & Sarah Cowling of this Parish, Spinsr …… by Licence ……. Sarah COWLING was christened on 29 Mar 1707 in Kildwick.  She was buried on 16 Apr 1748 in Ilkley.  Ilkley Parish Register (page 140): 1748 Burial ” Sarah, Wife of Thomas Rishworth of Lower Woodhouse, April 16th”.

Evidently Sarah’s youngest daughter, Ann, was baptised on 5the June 1748, which

suggests that Sarah probably died in childbirth. Ilkley Parish register simply

records the baptism as “Daughter of Thomas Rishworth of Ilkley”.  Thomas RISHWORTH and Sarah COWLING had the following children:

 

48 i. Ann RISHWORTH was born in 1731.  She was christened on 22 Oct 1731 in Addingham.24

+49 ii. John RUSHWORTH.

+50 iii. Sarah RISHFORTH.

He was married to Ann LAMBERT (daughter of Robert LAMBERT) on 28 May 1741 in Addingham.  There is an Addigham Burial recorded as RUSHWORTH, Thomas son of William = Ann

of Moorside, Yeoman, died 15.1.1788, bur. 18.1.1788, aged 36 years,

consumption. It seems likely that this would be an unmarried son of this family. Ann LAMBERT was born about 1717.  She died on 11 May 1789 in Addingham.  She was buried on 14 May 1789 in Addingham.  Addingham PR p160: 1789 Ann Rushworth d. of Robt. Lambert of Doublestones fmr. D.11 B.14 May. 72y. Old age.  The Addingham burial record is, RUSHWORTH, Ann daughter of Robert Lambert of
