Welcome to our forum ~ please post your questions below.
I have on my Dungworth list a Hanna Whos father was Joseph who was a cutler, and married Will Bagnall 1758 Oct 3rd. Hannah's DOB or Baptism 1740 Sep 8th, or Aug 9th.
I have three possible Joseph's that could be her father based on their date of birth:
1. born 1715 Sep 10th, and married to Eliz Days (but the DOM is later than her birth 1752)
2. born 1713 Oct 4th, and married to Ruth Barber (but again the DOM is later than her birth 1751)
3. born 1711 Apr 15th, but I don't have a spouse.
Hi Elaine,
My ancestry seems to go back to Henry Ashford and Sarah Dungworth in Bradfield. As my family lived more in the Ecclesfield area, I wondered if you had any further information surrounding the couple and their children. Sarah was b.1614, with father John.

Hi Michael,
Welcome to the merry band of "Dungworth" researchers.
I now see you have hit the brickwall for many of us....
Whereby the Dungworths will continue to name their kids after one another and most are cutlers.....
Thereby making it almost impossible to match them up especially the females (with no occupations etc).
In my tree there are about 460 Dungworths dating from about 1560. Some of the lines I can't be 100% sure of as it was a leap of faith I took with some of the ones in the 1600's.
I can not see a Hannah born to a Joseph in 1740 but thats not saying there shouldn't be one.
If you could bring me back maybe three generations (1800) so I can then go forward that might help some.
IF you or any Dungworth researchers would like to see what I have try my website that is shown below this message. Just click on it and it should take you to "Tribalpages". I am not sure how much it lets you
see once on the site but I can always invite you and that will show you my notes etc over and above names and dates.
Not an answer you probably wanted but I hope its helpful.

To add a little more.
Have a look at Eric Youle's site of Hallamshire Cutlers.....

I looked at the Josephs listed and have chosen two that could be probables????
Taking into consideration that most apprenticeships lasted until they were 21 years old and they were not supposed to marry prior to completing the apprenticeship.
Another thought is that many sons were apprenticed to there father and were not listed.
Its at least a start.
