Warburton Resources 

Introduction

The Resources

Introduction 

The purpose of this page is to provide an index and link to any resources that might be of use to Warburton researchers. These resources might be:

1.      Created by me in the course of my researches.

2.      Created by others and submitted for inclusion here.

3.      In existence elsewhere and linked to from this site.

The only criteria for including a resource is that it might be useful, or of interest, to another Warburton. If anyone has such material please send me an email by clicking here.  My own data collection will aim to add value to data that is generally available on the web, or provide information that is not easily accessed elsewhere. The following list of resources includes some I have obtained through my own researches so far, plus some ideas for future resources.

The Resources 

Incorrect spellings of Warburton in the UK Censuses

Misspellings is a spreadsheet of over 2500 alternative spellings of Warburton in the UK censuses as recorded on Ancestry. Often families appear to go missing in a census only to turn up under a different spelling of the name. Common alternative spellings of Warburton are Warberton, Walburton, Warbutton, Warbritton etc.  These different spellings can arise because the name was recorded incorrectly on the original census, or the name was transcribed incorrectly on the online index. By far the most common version is Warbritton (over 800 including nearly 300 in 1841 alone), though it would appear this is in most cases an incorrect transcription on Warbutton on the original census. Some misspellings may become permanent. For example the UK National Health Service Register shows 77 modern day Warbuttons and 8 Warbutons, but no Warbrittons, though several of these show up in the US White pages. However the vast majority of different spellings appear to have been temporary. If the spreadsheet helps you find a missing entry please let me know here.

Bowdon Families

Bowdon Families is a spreadsheet of all Warburton baptisms, weddings and burials at St. Mary, Bowdon up to 1837. It was taken in part by me from the parish registers and bishops transcripts(on microfilm). However I then discovered that the parish archivist, Derek Murdie was close to completing a similar exercise for the parish and obtained his Warburton data. It includes baptisms at Ringway Chapel (from 1727), and St George’s Altrincham (from 1799), each a chapel-at-ease for Bowdon. Also included are baptisms at Hale Presbyterian Chapel, though these are also list separately below.

I have again attempted to group the entries into families on a ‘best fit’ basis augmented by other information where available, such as Monumental Inscriptions and wills. Bowdon had a much larger Warburton population than Mobberley and the proportion of the families belonging to my own clan is smaller. Also the Warburton presence is much earlier, and records are incomplete, in part because of a tradition for nonconformist baptisms at home, at Ringway Chapel prior to 1723 when it served as an unofficial  nonconformist chapel, or at Hale Chapel before 1752 when its records began.

Families belonging to my own clan, and to the clan of Bowdon Warburtons from Pool Bank Farm, are colour coded. I have also sought marriages in other parishes for the parents of children christened at Bowdon. Because of gaps, and because families are determined on a best fit basis it is possible that the most obvious assumption does not apply in every case. Also more work is needed, such as to integrate deaths into the families, and to link the later families into the earlier censuses.  

Mobberley Families

Mobberley Families is a spreadsheet of all Warburton baptisms, weddings and burials at St. Wilfred, Mobberley. It was taken by me from the parish register (on microfilm). It includes a grouping of the entries into families. This is done on a ‘best fit’ basis augmented by other information where available, such as Monumental Inscriptions and wills. Most of the families in fact belong to my own clan and these are colour coded. I have also sought marriages in other parishes for the parents of children christened at Mobberley, and in some case vice versa. Because families are determined on a best fit basis it is possible that the most obvious assumption does not apply in every case.  

Wilmslow Families

Wilmslow Families is a spreadsheet of all Warburton baptisms, weddings and burials at St. Bartholomew Wilmslow. It includes a grouping of the entries into families on a ‘best fit’ basis augmented by other information where available. It is possible that the most obvious assumption does not apply in every case.

Warburtons in the Great Budworth Parish Register 1558-1734

As part of my research into the Warburtons of Arley Hall I trawled through a microfilm of the Great Budworth parish registers up to 1734. The Warburtons I found are listed here. The file includes picture notes showing some of the text that caused my trouble so you can make your own assessment.  

Miscellaneous Parish Register Information

This spreadsheet includes Warburton parish register entries provided to me from various sources. Alan Jenks provided information from various South Cheshire parishes including baptisms at Coppenhall St Michael (Crewe) between1817 and 1865, and at Over St Chad (Winsford) between 1813 and 1911. These are grouped into families with marriage information added where found. There are also burial plot records from Coppenhall (1813-1911), and an index to the burial registers at Shocklach (1813-99), and some miscellaneous marriages. Cathy Warburton provided some early entries from Warrington St Elphin. Beryl Monaghan provided entries from Turton and Walmsley, near Bolton.

Hale Chapel Baptisms

The Hale Chapel Baptism Record was the first baptism record I studied and I have described it in more detail in the My Genealogy page. In all 75 Warburton baptisms were recorded between 1752 and 1834.  I have created a full list, grouped into families, though they are also integrated into the Bowdon Families.

Crewe Estate Records

During my research of my own family I studied the Crewe Estate records at the Cheshire Records Office in Chester, looking particularly Leases, Rental Books, and Land Surveys of the Crewe’s Hale estates. I also studied the 1838 tithe maps which are now online. Although  most of the material relates to my own family I have included it here, including links to two transcriptions of leases form 1616 and 1746.

Stamford Estate Records

Notes from a day studying the Stamford estate papers held at Rylands Library, Manchester are also presented here. Most of these references are not related to my own family. I also have a photocopy of all the Warburton references in the index to the papers. Pending finding a way to present this online I can answer queries from anyone looking for possible references.

Warburton Landholdings in Hale

This is a paper based on the a variety of sources. Although it focuses on my own family it tries to be comprehensive and may be of some general interest, particularly in terms of historical background the practice of 3-lives leases. It can be found here.

What’s in a Name: Warburtons Named Josiah

This is a paper based on the frequency of the name Josiah in my family. It identifies about 46 Josiahs born up to 1900, of whom about 15 are members of my clan, based on available records. It can be found here.

Warburton Wills

The Northen Writers Guild are producing a series of books called Between the Bollin and the Mersey. These include transcriptions of will from between 1600 and 1760 for the various townships in that area. Those produced include Bowdon, and the first 2 volumes for Hale. I have compiled a list of references to the Warburtons in those wills. It is catalogued here.  

Also I have started to put together some information on where Warburton wills can be found here.

Oaths and Taxes

I have collected Warburton references in the Hearth Tax, Poll Tax, Grand Remonstrance and Oath of Allegiance for Bowdon parish. They are documented here. I have the material to extend the Oath of Allegiance to the whole of Cheshire (38 Warburtons) in due course.

Warburton: The Village and the Family

My précis of Warburton: The Village and the Family by Norman Warburton is here.

Marriage at Manchester Cathedral

Marriage in the Cathedral is a document containing a couple of accounts of multiple marriages at Manchester Cathedral. Acknowledgements are due to Gay Oliver who sent me the documents.

Future Resources

Two other resources that could be developed in due course are Famous Warburtons, a collections of stories or obituaries of significant Warburtons of the past, and Useful Links, links to sites where simple searches produce interesting data on Warburtons.
