The first minister was the Rev. Caleb Warhurst, who came here with the congregation from Cold House to one meeting north of Shudehill. He continued to minister up to the time of his death on November 5, 1765

It is a beautiful church, going back hundreds of years.

It is on the top of a hill and lit up a night with uplighters so you can see the church for miles around.

It is built on a site called Warhill. During the battles after William the Conqueror died, his nephews, wife etc were at war, and this site was the scene of a famous battle.

 (Norah Jackson- Glossop Derby)

Other records for Tim and Deb can be found on Graham Hadfield’s site – Joseph Hague Charity. The charity was set up to assist needy families with linen.

Arrived in South Australia Christmas Day 1857 on the ‘Caucasian’

 

Elizabeth Cherry daughter of John Cherry and Catherine Anderton.

John Cherry was an over seer of the Canals in Clayton Manchester. They accompanied the young Warhurst couple along with other Cherry family members and made their home in Walkerville Sth Aust. The house ‘Clayton’ still stands in 2007
 
 (Soroka Photograph collection)                                  

 

 

Elizabeth nee Cherry had family members for support as they arrived together on the ‘Caucasian’. Her brother Edward had been settled here for two years before his parents John and Catherine, brothers John and Francis and the Warhursts decided to join him and make a new life in South Australia.

Descendent Dr Ed Cherry published a beautifully bound edition of the ‘Cherry Tree’ and had copies made for each of his grandchildren. John Cherry senior was a fine woodcraftsman and left a legacy of lovely inlaid pieces for his children, one piece which was the pride and joy of Mrs Warhurst, was the portable writing desk that John had used to write his letters on as he travelled on the ship to Australia

I have not been able to establish the direct bloodline link between John Warhurst who arrived in 1839 and Edward who arrived in 1857 however the two families are linked by the thinnest of links when Francis Cherry married Mary Ann Cragen who was the stepdaughter of John Warhurst and it is Frank Cherry who registered the death of John Warhurst in 1865

Abel Warhurst 1860-1935

 

 

Born on the 20 Oct 1860 at home in Adelaide, Abel was to follow in his musical father’s footsteps.

Listed as a musician on his wedding certificate to Kate Thorley, whom he married 8 May 1892,in the historic St Mary’s Church, Sturt, Sth Australia.

In 1893 they lived in Gilbert St Adelaide, since demolished, and by 1905 Abel is listed as instrument maker at Torrens Rd Mitcham

The couple was to serve in the Mitcham parish of St Michael’s for many years as they had set up home in Kyre Avenue Kingswood.

Pam Oborn’s book on the history of St Michael’s Mitcham pays tribute to Abel and his family’s contribution to that parish where Abel served as organist for 35 years

He drove a horse and trap and often  hurried off to Stirling to pay for another service.

 

According to Bill Evans, Abel was badly hit by the depression and lost his business. He was a very kindly man who could turn his hand to any job – he was a real handyman able to mend shoes, and could be seen working in his white apron at the bench on the back verandah.

He was also known to remove teeth with pliers! He brewed his own beer and stored it in the cellar. One loud exploding bottle often set off a chain reaction.

After Abe died the family moved to the home of daughter Dorothy’s family at 39 East Parade Mitcham.

Bill Warhurst and his sister Joan

 

Joan Dallimore writes in 1995 to her cousin Joan Soroka,

Dad served in WW11 but did not go out of the country. After the War he worked for the Government, he was a very loving and gentle man and adored his two grandsons, which was reciprocated. He retired about 1959 –60 and he and Mum lived in Toowong until he died in 1977

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Eileen Marjorie Warhurst

 

 Soroka Collection

1900 -1977

married Horace Walter DUNCAN 19 Apr 1930

 

Considered the ‘avante garde’ member of the family, she shared the music talent of her ancestors and as she and Horace had no children they had an indulgent lifestyle, which afforded the luxuries of travel and theatre.

A relative tells of the sing-songs around the piano and how during the war the couple would entertain servicemen who were on leave. The piano still wears the marks of the beer glasses.

Eileen did all the things many women frowned upon in that era – she smoked, loved painted fingernails and partying.

Gordon continued

As a Bank officer in Strathalbyn Gordon Warhurst also assisted the greater community with his musical talent –country areas had to make their own entertainment and always appreciated local talent.

The local paper records 25 Mar 1925:

“At an orchestra concert at Strathalbyn last night in aid of the Strathalbyn High School, a farewell was tendered Mr Gordon Warhurst (conductor) who has been promoted to the position of accountant at the Unley Branch of the Commercial Bank.

Mr J W Elliott (Mayor) on behalf of the non playing members of the orchestra presented Mr Warhurst with a handsome silver baton, and on behalf of the playing members with a tobacco pouch suitably inscribed.

At supper after the covert the Reverends Wood (Anglican) MacIntosh (Methodist) and MacKenzie (Presbyterian) spoke on behalf of their churches.

Mr H J Webb of the Commercial Bank, as president of the tennis club, presented the guest with a pipe from members.

 

Back in Adelaide, Cecil allied himself with the Mayfair Light Opera Society and the likes of the talented late Bill Youde.

Bill Youde produced the Gipsy Baron in the Mayfair Academy Theatre on Goodwood Rd, Goodwood, Sth Aust with musical directions by Gordon Warhurst.

The show was a great hit with the faithful Mayfair audiences.

The Mayfair group began in 1961 and went on to present many fine productions which continued the groups goal of fostering pleasure through musical comedy.

Jennifer Martha Warhurst

1936-2000

 

Married Robert (Bob) George Stolz 30 May 1959 in St Columba’s Hawthorn Sth Aust

 

Considered by many to be a dedicated musician, lover of life and people, her contemporaries in the Canzona Quartet were quick to praise and honour this lovely lady who started the group, which was originally begun as a group of friends just getting together to play music in their own homes. Word spread through the community, and the rest as they say is history

Rose Marie one of the members said that Jenny’s expertise and practicality was much admired, for as far as music was concerned there was nothing she could not do.

She composed several pieces and was the arranger for the different instruments

As the Canzona became popular and they were invited to tour far and wide for engagements they acquired and old van to transport them and their instruments to and fro. Life ‘on the road’ was not without plenty of fun, drama and excitement.

Once on a trip to Victor Harbour for an engagement a string on Jenny’s virginal snapped because of the extreme weather, somewhere in the high 30’s.  The show went on without a hitch as she had quickly repaired and retuned the virginal. Only a true musician can appreciate what weather alone can do to an instrument.

Cecil Morton Warhurst

1888-1966

Raymond Francis Warhurst

1915- 1986

Born 28 Jan 191517 he died Nov 1986 Frenchmans Bay Kangaroo Island Sth Aust

Married Betty Hawke

 

His obituary written by long time friend of Adelaide radio fame wrote of him quotes:

“Dear Editor,

Ray Warhurst was well known throughout the Diocese as a fine musician, organist and choirmaster.

 His much loved father Cecil Warhurst, preceded Ray as Organist-choirmaster, and Ray was initially in this role at St Aidan’s Payneham South Australia for some seventeen years.

 Warhurst Senior retired and Ray became organist-choirmaster at St Theodore’s during the incumbency of Father Rex Hartley in the year 1954.

Ray Warhurst inherited from his father a fine choir of about twenty boys, and the quality of St Theodore’s won compliments throughout the Diocese – and some of those typical ‘scallywags’ with the angelic voices’ are here today, or discharging adult responsibilities in other parishes. He retired in 1976

 Fortunately a splendid microgroove recording of the choir has been preserved in our Church archives, and is in many private collections.

 Ray Warhurst was a warm, happy man with many friends in church, musical, business and sporting spheres.

 

Older St Theodore’s members will remember the amusing after Church football discussions between Ray Warhurst and a former rector the Venerable Ernest Codd.

 

Ray has gone to his just reward; his music and his warm friendship will always be part of this Parish and its history.

St Theodore’s will not forget Ray Warhurst, a good man, whose talents were always at the command of the Lord he loved.

Peter was instrumental (excuse the pun) in bringing music into the lives of children with his quirky ‘musicals’ for kids.

Walter Walke Warhurst died in 1942 from an ear infection causing meningitis, ironically just before his contemporary, Alexander Fleming, discovered penicillin.

The Brownhill Creek runs at the back of this property which is now a very pleasant picnic spot.

Walter is buried in West Terrace Cemetery Adelaide with his parents and in 2007 the grave is falling into disrepair and the wording on the headstone is illegible. JS

 

 

 

 

 

 

Walke Contacts

Again, Greetings Jenny,

I don't think I have anything to add to your family history research going back to Prussia.

My Great Grandfather came to Canada from Ivybridge,Devonshire, England in about 1881.  From there I have researched an uninterupted line back to 1586.  Same Parish - Same Country.  Devonshire, England.

I must admit though the information you wrote about the WALKES being skilled musicians - pianists and organists.  Well .....

I grew up with a "natural voice" This was picked up on early and I was streamed into music from an early  age.  First with piano lessons and then enrollment in St. Michael's Cathedral Choir School.  After that attended Humber College for music - then obtained my B.A. in Philosophy and Psychology from the University of Guelph.

My income has come from Landscaping and singing has been a lucrative hobby - church services, weddings, funerals, anniversaries, the odd bar....heheheh.  I currently sing in the Tenore with the Kitchener Waterloo Philharmonic Choir......As well I have been involved in a number of musicals including OLIVER, FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM,  JESUS CHRIST  SUPERSTAR and BRIGADOON

As to my brothers  they all received the same piano instruction as I and all play far better than me.  I don't claim to play at all now other than to roughly accompany my own practise.

My eldest brother sings, conducts a church choir, plays piano, guitar very well (he's 53 now) squeeze box.

My twin brothers also have piano and play not too badly.  The funny thing is though, when they were in their early 20's they both developed an interest in the Violin family.  They both play now.  But even more fantastic is that Greagory builds Violins and Cello's.  He studied in Wales and German where he met and married his wife, Sybilla Rupert who is a Viola player of her own right.

Bernard, the other twin, makes the bow's for the stringed instrument family!!!  YoYo Ma play's one of Sybillas Cellos and uses on of Bernards Bow's.  (Bernard specializes in Baroque Bow's)

So how does that grab you????  It's a shame we are not related.

In my research I found a Probate entry granted to the son, Thomas WALKE, instrument maker  in the late 1800's near London.

I also printed out an index of WALK/E's in the 1901 Census and notice there is an Albert WALK age 27 in St. Pancras who is a "Pianoforte Polisher".....

It was nice to hear from you again and thanks for that little tidbit about the musicianship of the WALKE's

Cheers

James A Walke
Guelph, Ontario

Information confirmed by the Rev Gary Swindon of St Marys Radcliffe (Jenny S)

 

Joseph is given as a Carter by profession and his address is simply given as

Radcliffe or Manchester. His marriage register entry may give more, but at

present we do not have a computer copy of that register. From the baptism

register it would seem that the first Mary and the first Sarah died, to have

later siblings named after them. Rev GS

Possible Josephs:

24 Dec 1799 (twin to John married to Sophia Drinkwater) son of James and Mary ( Pat Jackson has Mary Bancroft)

According to the 1841 census Joseph b. 1801, carter, is married to Margaret and the address supplied, is Trotter Lane, Manchester, living with the couple are, Mary 12, Soloman 9 all born in the county.

James and Martha are the parents of of a Jesse and they were from Burnage –  he died aged 3 –

so we are still looking for the parents of Jesse and Joseph

(Try Bakewell –

 

Who are the parents of Joseph and Jesse?

 

Jesse and Joseph live next door to each other in the 1841 census

Jesse m. Ann Lewis Sp1

Jesse m. Charlotte Sp2

No 390

Mary widow of James Warhurst of Burnage, carpenter departed May 20 1779 aged 38, b.1741. Also Jesse his son by Martha his wife died September 4 1796 aged 3 years. Also James widower of Burnage carpenter died May 21 1806 aged 66. Also Samuel widower his son departed Mar 19 1823 inn his 39th year. Caleb Warhurst Heaton Norris. Ref Owen Manuscripts

From Cathy Headdock (Essex) who researched this information on the UK for Jenny Sandercock

Is anyone researching the WARHURST family of Manchester.

James was a carpenter and his wife Martha had at least 3 children Joseph, Ann and Jesse in the 1790s.

We are a local history venture and have only records of Burnage so you should know of a Burnage connection.

http://uk.geocities.com/burnageheritage

 

Living next door is Jesse (also recorded as WORREST) and Ann with Samuel 15, born in the county, Sarah 13, and Martha age 3, born in the county as well as Thomas Crossley, 50, Washerwoman (honest!), born in county

John Owen, 20, Lab. Born in County

Mary Cunliffe, 17, Fustian Cutter, born in County

Could anyone look up in the above census returns the details of Jesse Warhurst, born Burnage 1798. He was a Horseman in later census details. In 1841 he wife was Ann, and by 1851 his second wife was Charlotte born in Halifax in 1814. I believe he lived in Manchester for both census, the area possibly around Hart Street or Bloom Street which I think is the City Centre.

James and Charlotte have a George, chr 20 Apr 1815 Glossop

1841

Solomon abt 1832 ( 9years old) according to census Manchester Salford London Rd Manchester on the same page, Mary Cunliffe,b. abt 1824

Why is he just listed with Mary Cunliffe? *** Cunliffe are married in to the Warhurst and Rolley/Olley  family

Others on the page include:

Eliza Grimshaw 1826, George 1832, Joshua 1840, Mary b, 1809, Mary 1836, Thomas 1829

Warhurst & Dog Street (Apr 06) Hollingworth

I am looking for Joseph Warhurst, b. abt 1807, who was married to Ann & was a blacksmith & innkeeper of the Gun Inn in the 1840's to 1850's. His son son born in 1844, and later John w. operated the blacksmith shop on market street. My great grandmother was Betty Warhust, a daughter of Joseph and Ann, born in 1828. Betty married Wright Massey, born 1819, the son of Kezia Massey. Kezia later married George Band. I'm also curious as to the location of "Dog Street"... that was the Warhurst's address in 1841 & I cannot locate on any maps, current or historical. thank you.... Mark of Iowa, USA

Jenny, my Sylvester was born in Glossop, in 1848/49, on the 1871 census he was living with his family(parents) in Saddleworth, Yorkshire, he is down as a blacksmith.  He is then listed on the 1880 United States Census, Butte, Sutter, CA.  He is listed as a blacksmith and also as a widower.  Is the Litton a middle name?  And who is the Gill?  Could the Liverpool be where he sailed from?

James and Caleb Warhurst of Marple Spring Gardens

And a short history of Stockport from the 1700’s ‘ The Arkwrights’

 

By 1790 Oldknow built a steam mill in Stockport and laid foundations for a larger mill at Mellor.

' The Life of Robert Owen'

Robert Owen writes in his account of Samuel Oldknow's business dealings that although he had made great

profit two years in a row he was in the 1790's determined to  the greatest muslin spinner and was now on a similar road with his ambitions as a cotton spinner in the coming years.

A seemingly irrational ambition resulting in over capitalising saw Oldknow face some pretty tough times in the trying period from 1792. (It would seem that the ambition was certainly not about money - it was more about pride in what he could produce)

Owen writes of others in the this period: Arkwright built a cotton mill in Manchester and Mr Drinkwater a rich Manchester manufacturer and foreign merchant had built a mill for finer spinning and had it filled with all sorts of machinery under the watchful of a wellknown scientific adviser of the day by the name of George Lees. Apparently Drinkwater knew nothing about cotton but was a good fustian producer and merchant but was totally unaware that he was about to lose Lees who formed a partnership with a Sir George Philips in Salford. It was Robert Owen who applied to fill the position left by Lees.

 

In May 1792 Samuel Oldknow continued to buy up land and in doing so he

acquired several fields and a farmhouse, 'Drake Carr', from John Fearnley

South Yorkshire is crossed by the River Don, roughly speaking from east to west. Several major iron- and steel-producing centres are located on the banks of the river Historically, coal mining has been an important activity in much of the county, and agriculture, notably dairy farming, continues in the east. The city of Sheffield lies on the eastern edge of the Peak District National Park

Originally from Strines, James ran the Spring Gardens from 1825 -1837 (James Probate)

The earliest record found for Spring Gardens was in 1825 when a plot of land was leased for 99 years to James Warhurst by the Duke of Norfolk.( Web)

In 1825 James Warhurst became the first landlord of the Spring Gardens in Compstall. He was probably responsible for building the pub itself and he also leased a large plot of land behind it that he laid out as Pleasure Gardens. In 1837 the licence passed to his son, Caleb, who was to remain as landlord for 36 years. Caleb leased further land and during his tenancy turned the Pleasure Gardens into a major tourist attraction that frequently received several thousand visitors on Bank Holidays.

 

 

 

 

Thank you boys for letting me quote your article on the Spring Gardens


The Spring Gardens

“The Pleasure Gardens featured a 'gooseberry avenue', originally planted by James, which became most famous. Other attractions included an aquarium, a monkey house, a dance floor and cages with foxes, alligators, a magnificent giant Derbyshire ox and a large variety of domestic and foreign wild fowl. Firework displays were often held and the many other forms of entertainment included brass bands, comedians, prize fighting, rifle shooting and even a tightrope walker. Within the grounds was a building called the Foresters Hall that was often used for local flower or fruit and vegetable shows.

Unfortunately, in 1881 and 1888, landslips during severe storms resulted in large sections of the gardens being lost forever. This, and the coming of the First World War, saw the end of the Pleasure Gardens at Compstall. Today, there is so little trace of it left that it's hard to image the magnitude of this once great attraction.

 

Caleb was landord of Spring Gardens Compstall for 37 years (1837- 1872) and in the Marple website it is Caleb who is credited with putting Compstall and the Spring Gardens on the map. In 1836 another block was leased from the Duke of Norfolk."

 

 

 

 

Caleb died in April 1872 and his wife Jane took over the pub.

Caleb WARHURST who  was born in 1809 had three marriages.

His children with Nancy WILLIAMSON are Charles, Sarah and Elizabeth.

Children with Nancy's sister Susannah WILLIAMSON are

Martha, Ellen andHannah

Children with Jane HOWE are Harriet and Mary Jane.

Dear Jenny,

 

Many thanks for your reply, which I found of interest and I will try and follow up on the past family tree.

 

When I was young, my father Frederick, showed me a picture of either his granddad & grandmother or great grand parents, which would take it back to early/ mid 1800's. The man was tall and big and dressed in a uniform with a helmut with a spike on the top, which would be in keeping with the German/Prussian uniform of the day. My dad did say that he was told that this great/grand parent was German.

Sadly when my father died I found that he had destroyed a lot of old family photos and this picture has never come to light.

 

Many years ago I worked in Germany for a short while and a man at the company I worked for had an interest in names. He thought that the Warhurst name was of German/Prussian origin and before being Anglicised the name came about from War Lords e.g. a war lord would be similar to the medieval knights.

 

Hope the above is of interest and I will keep you informed if a come across anything. 

Regards,

David

May 2004

While looking for twins - common to the Williams family Jenny Sandercock discovered

the birth of twins Mary and Sarah Williams on the Digger Index CD parents recorded as John Williams and Mary Kinsey TMu! TMu was the early district registration for the Burra copper mining area.

She died under the name of Sarah Williams in 1869 in the Adelaide hospital after being admitted several weeks before with diptheria (Ade H Records) but her death certificate states that she died of gyniekologies maligna (viewed s the SAGHS Unley South Australia) _ I wonder if it was the same type of cancer as her sister Mary? Or, has this record been mistranscribed?

Baby Mary died one day after her birth in 1853 - my next challenge is to find Sarah Williams her twin. JS

 

Was Sarah using her sister's name or has the person recording the information not transcribed properly?

We will never know

Samuel would have been 12 in 1841, which may have been rounded to the nearest “5”. His birth year is likely to have been recorded as either 1829, or if rounded off, 1826 or 1831.

None of the Samuel Warhursts below match the birthplace of Derbyshire, so perhaps none of these are the Samuel you are looking for.

Herbert William ‘Bill’ Warhurst

 

 

 

 

Herbert William “Bill” Warhurst, staff photographer of The Times 1921-1953, studies a map in front of his jeep somewhere in Normandy. The photograph was probably taken in July or August 1944. Among his many assignments were photographing the excavation of Tutankhamun’s tomb in 1922 and Chamberlain and Hitler at Godesberg in 1938. He was at the British Second Army Headquarters at Luneburg on 24 May 1945 and photographed the body of Himmler shortly after he committed suicide

Hi Gordon,
I wrote to you some time ago with a query on any Adshead Warhurst relationships but you were not able to help but in my continued research I came across some Adshead records and thought you might like them, so I am forwarding them to you,

October 12th 1828    John Warhurst married Ann Kinsey (crossed out) Mary
Kinsey
                by J Leigh
            Both made their marks, unable to write
            Witnesses:    Samuel Adshead & David Kinsey (David is Mary's brother)
                    page 679  No 191


Many thanks for this Jenny
It does seem quite likely that Samuel would be much the same age as the bride and groom (eg 25 +/- 5)
In the 1841 Census I have 24 Samuel ADSHEADs
but only three born in the range 1798 - 1808
All three are born in 1806  (Cheadle CHS, Wilmslow CHS, Wigan LAN)
You do not say where this marriage took place
But it may well be a clue to the Elizabeth ADSHEAD in your original WARHURST family of 1891
I can give you more information on Samuels if you are interested.
