Southerst / Southworth family in Lancashire, UK
I am researching the Southerst family- most recently of Haslingden/ Newchurch in Rossendale, Lancashire, and am becoming convinced that our name has derived from a branch of the Southworths. So my attentions have now turned to the Southworth family.
My earliest confirmed ancestor is a Robert Soterst/ Suddurth/ Suthhurst/ Sutherst/ Sudderth recorded in the Newchurch-in-Rossendale Parish Registers between 1713-1721 (baptisms and burials of his children).
I am wondering if anyone might have any Robert Southworth information that might tie up with the above.
