Whitworth family

Three years ago at the age of 57, I discovered I was adopted and also that I had a younger sister, also adopted. Our birth mother was Joyce Whitworth, daughter of Percy Whitworth, landlord of the Beehive until his death in 1963. I have spent the last three years researching my heritage, but still have some major gaps to do with Joyce's story and also we still have no adult photo of  her.

Does anyone know more about her or even have a photograph of her...thank you....Barry
Contact webmaster with any information which will be forwarded to Barry.

NOTICE: -29th August 2011. After only a few weeks we have reunited two branches of the Whitworth family.. our first success story.

Has anyone any more information?

I was born in 1948 in the school house at Winkburn, where my mother and then my father (after he came out of the army) were the headteachers of the small village school. Would you know if there is anybody in the locality who might have been at the school at that time (1942-49).
Thank you.... Peter
