SMALLWOOD FAMILY HISTORY
THE SMALLWOOD FAMILY OF CAMERTON AND DISTINGTON, CUMBRIA (TREE 211)
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
John Smallwood baptised a number of children in Camerton near Workington in Cumbria in the late 17th century, and he appears to have died leaving a will in 1735. His family multiplied and spread throughout the surrounding area, initiating branches in Harrington and Distington (south of Workington), Flimby, Egremont and Bassenthwaite among others.
John's apparent 2g-grandson John Smallwood (1806-1860) married Hannah Seatry and moved to Whitehaven, where their descendants thrived into the 20th century. One branch moved to Hull in East Yorkshire, where descendants still live today, while others dispersed to Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Stockton-on-Tees, South Africa, Australia and California. Steve Panitzke's excellent website provides a very clear overview of all the principal family lines.
OUTLINE OF TREE
While this version of the consolidated tree has been prepared by Ian Hall, it may also incorporate the input of several of the other researchers listed below, and also that of David Smallwood of Worcestershire. It remains a work in progress, and any comments and contributions are very welcome. Ancestral lines of family researchers are highlighted in bold type, with a link to the corresponding lists of researchers. Individuals whose parentage is uncertain have a [?] inserted into their name.
