43.          WILLIAM WALLWORTH (of Thomas⁶ , of Thomas⁵ , of John⁴ , of Thomas³ , of Thomas² , of Thomas¹ ).  The baptism of William was not found.

Father:    Thomas Wallworth (No.29)

Mother:    Esther Pickering

Notes:

1st. -- William and his brother John’s christenings were not found in the Parish registers of St. Mary church, Weaverham so it cannot be totally certain if they were sons of Thomas Wallworth (No.29).  But he did lived in other places with the other sons of Thomas Wallworth (No. 29) and that he mentioned in his Will about lands in Cuddington.

2nd. -- William mentioned in his Will that John Wallworth was his brother and this John Wallworth also has connections to the Cuddington Wallworths.

William Wallworth married MARY HORMBY on October 29, 1765 at Tarporley Church, Cheshire, England.  The marriage was by banns and they were mentioned as both of the parish of Tarporley.  It is possible that the last name is Hornby.  But in William’s Will he mentioned his brother-in-law as Hormby.

They were living at Eaton in the Parish of Tarporley from about 1765 to 1771.  His brother, Joseph Wallworth, was in Eaton too.

Between 1771 and 1774, William Wallworth and his family moved to Alsager Hall in Barthomley parish, Cheshire.  In the christening of his daughter in 1774, William is described as a Yeoman of Alsager Hall.

William became an active person in Alsager’s town activities such as being appointed Surveyor and Overseer of the Poor several times over the years from 1774 to 1810’s.

William Wallworth died November 9, 1818 in Barthomley, Cheshire.

From his Will, the following are extracted:

"I do nominate and appoint my said Brother John Wallworth, and my said Son in Law John Corke, and my said Brother in Law John Hormby as Executors ..."

The Will was signed on April 30, 1816 and probate issued April 27th 1819.  The witnesses were Thos Bennion, James Timmis, and Chas. Wallworth.

It is not know when Ellen Wallworth died.

Also the wordings in the Will concerning his wife sounded like if she was a second wife rather than the first. William didn’t mentioned the name of the wife in the Will.
