The descendants of John HALSTED (1778-1812) and Sarah SMITH (1779-1872)

I have recently been coresponding with Rennie Halstead regarding his grandparents Fred Halstead and Mabel Hirst and he has provided some more information on them which will appear in the next website update.

Rennie's family is part of Lancashire Chart-04 of which the progenitors are John HALSTED (1778-1812) and Sarah SMITH (1779-1872).

The opportunity has been taken to update the whole of this chart and in doing so it was found that John and Sarah's Great Granddaughter Anna HALSTEAD  married a James POLLARD. James POLLARD is descended from another HALSTEAD line that doesn't currently have a chart. He is son of William POLLARD and Dorothy HALSTEAD. Dorothy's father James HALSTEAD will form the basis of a new Chart-10 that will appear on the next website update.

In researching some of the notes on file it is possible that the tree of John HALSTEAD (1778-1812) could be taken back several generations but it needs to be proved before I will add it to the database - watch this space.

Website Update - 12 April 2010

This latest update to the website www.halstedresearch.org.uk on Halstead, Halsted and Holstead research contains many updates - primarily to tidy up some of the material that is already there.

As with any large surname project like this there are always going to people that you can't link into one of the main trees and slowly these are being amalgamated. If you find someone in one of these smaller trees and have more information then pleae get in touch.

In particular the following charts have been updated in this update

- Lancashire Chart - the descendants of William de HALLSTEDES.

- Sussex Chart - is still being investigated. He had two sons William & Henry.

- Lancashire Chart - the descendants of John HALSTEAD (1778-1812).

- Essex Chart - the descendants of Isaac HALSTEAD (born bef 1785 - ?).

- the descendants of Christopher ALSTEAD (born bef 1780 - ) and Mary MARSDEN.

A full list of the recent changes to the narratives is available in the New or Changed Narratives section.
