Last revision February 2003.
There are few Husthwaites and fewer on the Internet. This page has introduced me to a few and some relatives too. I’m always happy to meet anyone with this name and I now have some family history. A search will throw up a lot of references to my site of course and a lot to the village of Husthwaite but very little about the name. Please tell me if you know any.
The name probably comes from two Viking roots – “hus” meaning a homestead – it gave us “house” in modern English and “thwaite” meaning a clearing (by a river) or possibly a meadow.
I have moved my Islay site and now will devote this page to Husthwaites.
I live on the island of Islay which is the southernmost of the Hebrides. I got here in 1989. The picture is of me a few years ago now – I’ve grown older gracefully since. My Visit Islay website will give you more information. I’ve got 4 kids, I was born in 1954 so work it out for yourself, I live in Bowmore.
I was born in Middlesbrough, was brought up in Wishaw, went to Glasgow University then University College of Wales; Aberystwyth (I lived in Macynlleth) for three years, was ten years in Kilsyth, I then moved to Islay. I’m a single parent three and a half days a week. I have a long term partner, Anne, who lives in Germany.I teach Science at Islay High School.
I like photography, cycling, fishing, walking on the hills and beaches, good food, wine and whisky and so on. Recently I’ve been getting involved in ICQ (118529205) chat and taken an interest in modern Jazz. I’ve also been messing around with stained glass making.
…usual stuff. I’m underheight for my weight (truth), but that can and must change for the sake of my heart, greying.
One of my favourite places is over at Machir Bay and round the old church of Kilchoman, here I’m sitting by the cross with an affectionate mog who decided I was a suitable candidate for a sit on. The cross isn’t actually leaning, there was a strong wind and the photographer was (leaning).
The blob in the sky is, in fact, a UFO and not a boring bit of dirt on the lens of the scanner. You can see the stones in the hollows of the base very well in this picture. Legend has it that if you turn the stone three times east to west following the sun a wish will be granted – I live in hope.
Hazel is related to the Husthwaites; in her own words: “My relationship is down from William Husthwaite who had the two lads, James and John. John married Harriet, of course, and James married Martha Alderson and they were my Great Grandparents.” So I suppose we are distant cousins.
They are a fund of information and have provided all the background information on this page.
“James was older than John and by goodness, were ever two brothers different! James was strict and serious, a pillar of the Wesleyan Methodist church and John was innkeeper at the Crown in Brompton (I think it was the Crown) along with William for a time, although both were shoemakers also. You can see by the laughter on Eric and Edward’s faces how happy that side of the family were. James, by comparison, and Martha, are straight faced.
My Great aunt Mary, James eldest child, was close to all her cousins (John and Harriet’s children) and I have letters from her to my Mother chatting of aspects of their lives. One in particular, George, (one of John and Harriet’s youngest) took over the shoemaking business when my great gran Martha died, after carrying on the business in Bedale until she was nearly 80. James Husthwaite started up the Methodist Chapel in both Northallerton and Bedale.”
