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.

Lancashire Charts 9

This information relates to one of the Lancashire trees - the descendants of Christopher ALSTEAD and Mary MARSDEN.

Following a recent enquiry from the Rev David Halstead whose ancestors were John HALSTEAD b1814 and Alice BEARDSWORTH b1820 means that this tree has been checked and been extensively revised. This chart is not helped by the constant changing of names from HALSTEAD to ALSTEAD, ALSTON and even in the case of David's ancestors in 1851 of AUSTIN. We have been able to take the data a further two generations.

A new copy of the chart and the underlying data will be included in the next website update
