Warburton Clans 

Introduction

The Clans

Introduction 

The main activity of the Warburton One-name Study is to document Warburton clans. A clan consists of all the Warburton descendants of an earliest known ancestor. A clan will also share a similar Y-chromosome DNA profile. Where a new profile is known to have been introduced through adoption or illegitimacy a new sub-clan is created, linked to the original clan. Similarly two or more clan may be shown to have a similar DNA profile that shows they are linked, although the exact nature of the link may be unknown. In some cases a clan may not yet have a known DNA profile, or sufficient profiles to prove it applies all the way back to the earliest known ancestor. In this case new profiles might change the clan structure.

Family trees normally focus on the ancestors of a living person. In contrast Descendant Charts focus on an historic figure and his descendants. Fellow Warburtons are invited to take ownership of their clan documentation and produce their Descendant Reports. If you are interested in owning your clan documentation simply send me an email by clicking here.

Alternatively I will produce them based on available data and to include a Descendant Chart plus narrative which will give, as a minimum, the name, known vital data (dates of birth, marriage and death), spouse, and children of each Warburton descendant. The tree will include the spouses of female Warburtons, and a note of their children where known, but the lines will be followed no further. The Report will also include information on its origin, and notes on any questionable data.

The Clans

Each clan will be introduced on this page. The information will include the name and dates of the earliest known ancestor(s), and a reference to any DNA profiles of members of the clan. The DNA profiles themselves will be contained on the DNA Results spreadsheet and discussed on the DNA Project page. The Links panel will have links to Descendant Chart(s) and a PDF file containing a Descendant Report generated by a Family Tree program.

In addition Family Web Cards and Person Sheets for all the clans are now online and can be accessed here. There is a simple index to access individual details, and the trees can then be navigated by clicking on parents or children. To help find persons of interest, a detailed index to the names, including dates and places, and the clan to which the person belongs, is here. It  has 4110 names, including 2658 Warburtons, and 2 Warburton-Lyttons.  A further 88 Warburtons are documented in a clan that is not in the index.

Alternatively the earliest ancestors below can be used to find the start of a tree.

The Warburtons of Arley Hall

Sir Piers de Dutton adopted the name de Werberton in the 13th century and so is the oldest known Warburton. He in turn was descended from Adam de Dutton who acquired estates at Warburton in Cheshire. The original de Dutton was Odard who arrived in Cheshire with the Norman Conquest and was granted lands and titles by Hugh d’Avranches, Earl of Chester. It is claimed that Odard was related to William the Conqueror, but in truth his origin is undocumented.

The family moved to Arley Hall in the 15th century. The last Warburton at Arley Hall was Sir Peter, the fifth Baronet, who died childless in 1813. The estate passed to a great nephew (son of his niece), and although the estate again passed down the female line a hundred years later, the current owner, Viscount Ashbrook, is a direct descendant of the Warburtons of Arley.

The earliest ancestor is Adam de Dutton (c1150 -1208). As no known male descendants survive today there is no DNA profile. 

The Warburtons of Garryhinch

Richard Warburton (1637-1717), who acquired considerable lands in Ireland, including the estate at Garryhinch, west of Dublin, was one of three brothers who went to find their fortune in Ireland in the middle of the seventeenth century. Their father was probably Richard of Dublin who is attested in the 1630s. The family has always claimed kinship with the Warburtons of Arley, with Richard of Dublin possibly being a grandson of Peter, the ancestor of the Warburtons of Hefferston Grange.  Portarlington Golf Club was built on the old Garryhinch estate and their website includes some of the family’s history. The family has produced a number of interesting characters and their descendants are spread around the world. There are a number of sources for the Descendant Report, including Burke’s Colonial Gentry, and a chronicle by James Arthur Warburton (1890-1982) of the Warburton family of Prince Edward Island. 

The earliest ancestor is Richard Warburton (dates unknown), husband of Elizabeth L'Estrange, and father of Richard (1637-1717) . DNA profile A8CQJQ relates to a descendant of Richard’s brother George, and 6KU28H to a descendant of Richard himself. These profiles are sufficiently close, with just four mismatches, to verify this as the profile for the whole clan.

The Warburtons of Warburton Village

The Warburtons ofWarburton Village are a very large clan, with over 700 Warburtons. Much of it was documented by MNorman Warburton (himself a member) in his book Warburton: The Village and the Family. I have added to it from other sources, including my own researches into censuses. It includes one of the Warburton families of Sullivan County, Pennsylvania, another branch in California, and branches in Yorkshire and Staffordshire.

The earliest ancestor is Thomas Warburton (circa 1557-1627). I have two DNA Profiles (FNG9UR and H63GPT) but they don't match, so one or both must be from a non-paternal event.

The Warburtons of Edenfield

The Warburtons of Edenfield have been documented back to the 16th century when they were described as Gentlemen, raising the possibility that they are a cadet branch of the Warburtons of Arley. The Descendant Report is based on a tree provided by Anthony Carter, with additional input from Nicolas Blackhurst.

The earliest ancestor is Thomas Warburton (died after 1559). As yet no DNA Profile has been obtained.

The Mongan Warburtons

In 1792 Charles Mongan, the future Bishop of Cloyne, changed his name to Warburton, the name of his maternal cousins.  His descendants form  a second clan of Irish Warburtons, though it is not yet known if Charles’s cousins are of the Garryhinch clan. Meanwhile Charles’s brother John is head of a family who retained the Mongan name (which was an anglicised version of their father’s name of O’Mungan. The Descendant Report is generated from information provided by Elaine Hopper of Australia, who belongs to an Australian Mongan family who believe they are descended from John Mongan. They have also provided a DNA profile which therefore may also be that of the Mongan Warburtons (see code Mongan).  

The earliest ancestor is Dominic O'Mungan  (1715- c1774).

The Warburtons of Hale Barns

This is my own clan and therefore the Descendant Report is more detailed, though it is by no means complete. The oldest known ancestor is George Warburton (c1575-1639) of Hale Barns, though I have a notion that his father might be Thomas the Elder of Hale Barns who died in 1634. Only one of George’s sons, John Warburton (c1608-1691) had multiple sons (five) so all lines of descent meet with him.

They were originally a family of small landowners and tenant farmers and the farmhouse they occupied is still occupied by Warburtons today. The My Genealogy page contains much more information on them.

The earliest ancestor is Thomas Warburton (circa 1550 - 1635).The Descendant Chart is too big to be rendered in one chart and so has been split into five, one showing the earliest generations, the others showing the descendants of 3 sons of John Warburton (c1608-1691), that is Thomas, John (2 charts for 2 wives), and Josiah. A future action is to split the Descendant Report in a similar way. DNA profile OCP436 relates to this clan.

Three other clans are linked by DNA. A discussion on the links is documented here. The clans are:

The Descendants of William Warburton of Ashton-upon-Mersey

The earliest ancestor is William Warburton (c1740-1820) who married Mary Kelsall at Ashton-upon Mersey in 1767.  He is probably the William born in Mobberley in 1740 in the Hale Barns Clan. The family later moved to Lancashire. DNA profile EQ5Y4A relates to this clan. 

The Descendants of William Warburton of Widnes

The earliest ancestor is William Warburton who was born in Widnes circa 1780.  The Descendant Report, is based on input from Karen Stretton, Martin Coble and Rebecca Stone. DNA profile JSCMJH relates to this clan.

The Descendants of Hamlet Warburton of Warrington

The earliest ancestor is Hamlet Warburton (died 1700) who lived in Warrington and Woolton. The Descendant Report is, based on The Family History of Edward Gilbert O’Hagan Warburton, produced by Debrett Ancestry Research Ltd., and provided by Frank Carlton O’Hagan Warburton. DNA profile 88B8UN relates to this clan.

The Descendants of Bancroft Warburton

A Warburton family has been documented in the Great Sankey area of Lancashire, close to the Cheshire boarder (actually it is now part of modern day Manchester and Merseyside). The family is descended from Bancroft Warburton (1738-1805) who is probably the Bancroft Warburton christened at Bowdon in 1738, the illegitimate son of Elizabeth Warburton and John Bancroft. The Descendant Reportwas edited from a file provided by John Humphries with additions from David Warburton.

The earliest known ancestor in the tree is John Bancroft. As yet no DNA Profile has been obtained.

John Bancroft was first married to Mary Warburton who was probably from the Hale Barns clan. It is likely that Elizabeth Warburton, Bancroft’s mother, and later John Bancroft’s second wife, was related to Mary (possibly a cousin) but this cannot be proved. I have written a set of notes on Bancroft which explore this possibility as well as other facts surrounding Bancroft’s origins.

The Warburtons of New South Wales

In 1839 Thomas Warburton (1817-1879) of Leigh in Lancashire, emigrated to New South Wales with his wife and young son.  His parents, John and Ellen nee Rawlinson, are known, but nothing earlier. Thomas’s descendants have been documented in some detail from  information provided by Elaine Hopper and Harold Warburton.

The earliest ancestor is John Warburton (no dates) husband of Ellen Rawlinson. As yet no DNA Profile has been obtained.

The Descendants of Peter Warburton of Wilmslow

The bulk of this clan are descendants  of John Charles Warburton born in 1808,  in Wilmslow the illegitimate son of Alice Warburton. His descendants were mainly to be found in Macclesfield, and in New Jersey. Alice’s father, Peter Warburton has yet to be linked to a known clan. The Descendant Report is based on information provided by Cathy Warburton.

The earliets ancestor is Peter Warburton (c1746). DNA profile T6895T relates to tJohn Charles descendants.

The Shocklach Warburtons

Shocklach lies in the South West corner of Cheshire near the Welsh and Shropshire boarders. I received information from Robert Warburton that had been collected by his father and himself over a number of years. Robert is descended from Thomas, the illegitimate son of Elizabeth, though which of two possible Elizabeths is uncertain. I have extended this material using primarily information gleaned from censuses. The Descendant Report includes Robert’s own descent from Thomas, the older Shocklach family that at least one, and probably both Elizabeths belonged to, and three other extended families from the area who are probably related.

There are 5 charts. The earliest ancestors are: Thomas Warburton (d. 1730), James Warburton (c1784), Samuel Warburton (1806), Joseph Warburton (1813-bef 1868), and Thomas Warburton (1848-1931). There is no DNA profile.

The Weaverham Warburtons

Peter Warburton probably came from Grappenhall but brought up his family in Weaverham, near Northwich, Cheshire. Various descendants moved to places such as Daresbury, Preston Brook,  and Thelwall, near the Lancashire border. The Descendant Report is based on a spreadsheet provided by Alan Entwistle. A descendant of the clan was Adrian Warburton whose exploits are described in Warburton's War: The Life of Wing Commander Adrian Warburton, DSO, DFC by Tony Spooner. There is also an interesting Wikipedia entry for him.

The earliet ancestor is Peter Warburton (bef 1747- aft 1778). There is no DNA profile.

The Warburtons of Sandbach

This clan originates in Sandbach in the early 19th century. The Descendant Report is based on information provided by Daphne Warburton with additional input from Heather Jones.

The earliest ancestor is Joseph Warburton (undated), father of Ralph (c1817-1886). DNA profile BCK82G relates to this clan.  

The Warburtons of Turton

This clan is based on a tree of the descendants of James of Turton which has been placed on Ancestry by Michael Wood, with additional information from Beryl Monaghan. However an alternative burial found for James's son Samuel has split the tree in two. In addition research into early wills has identified some earlier families whose link to James is not obvious. The Descendant Report therefore includes three separate trees, and there are 3 charts. 

The earlist ancestors are: Thomas Warburton (d. 1674), the unnamed father of George (undated), and John (d. 1738), and Samuel Warburton of Bolton (c1790-1843). There is no DNA profile.

The Warburtons of Coppenhall

I was able to flesh out this clan as a result of a query and a small piece of information from Betty DesRoche (nee Warburton). It originates with Peter, born in Church Coppenhall about 1771 and includes branches in Over, Cheshire, and Preston,Lancashire. There is no DNA profile.

The Warburtons of West Virginia

This clan was provided by Kim Johnson of West Virginia. Its originates with a Thomas who emigrated to the USA before 1849. He is believed to come from Nottinghamshire, though no evidence for this has been found. DNA profile YE5B4X relates to this clan but is unmatched.

The Warburtons of Tottington,  Lancashire

Ann Cooper of Colorado has documented the descendants of Richard Warburton (c1716-1797) from Tottington, near Bury, Lancashire. It includes a Descendant Report, and a Descendant Chart with Index. As yet its contents are not included in the general Name Index.  

The Warburtons of Bowdon and Timperley

A Warburton family occupied Pool Bank farm in Bowdon in the early 17th century and probably earlier. The earliest known ancestor is Thomas Warburton (c1610-1655), though there is a will for Joan of Bowdon dated 1592. The  family later moved to Timperley and has been documented by a descendant who still lives there. A Descendant Report is planned. DNA profile TJWSEW relates to this clan.  

Other clans

Other clans will be added as they are discovered and information becomes available. Submissions are always welcome.
