THE BLACKBURN INVENTOR

The Family of John Osbaldeston & his wife Betty

John Osbaldeston, a direct descendant from the ancient stock of the Osbaldeston of Osbaldestons was to become known later in his long life as the 'Blackburn Inventor of the Weft Fork and Roller Temple'. Once the Lancashire estates became alienated from the family in 1747, with no thanks to Alexander Osbaldeston, the majority of the descendants who remained generally settled locally in the Blackburn and Preston areas. They became poor in comparison to their past descendants, falling into social insignificance.

Both his father and grandfather were named as John and they lived in the Ramsgreave/Mellor or Little Harwood areas of Blackburn. His grandparents were John and Elizabeth, nee Kirkham. His father, also John was baptised in 1755 and the birth recorded in the registers at Blackburn Cathedral, formerly the St. Mary's Parish Church as 'A son, John to John and Elizabeth Osbaldeston, baptised 30th March 1755'. John's father was a crofter on a small farm in the Four Lane Ends area of Blackburn. He married Alice Hindle on the 30th May 1775 and many children were born from the marriage. He was presumably still a crofter when John was born between 1778 and 1780 although he did eventually move to the Snig Brook area where he was described as a weaver it is likely that he still farmed and that the hand loom weaving was, as in the majority of the cases, another part of his occupation.

2. Origin of the Balderston Name

The day was clear with no cloud in the sky as the battle took place between the armies of William and Harold. One man is busy protecting William with all of his might against the Knight in gray armour. The man is Oswald De Stone is the fiendish Vincent Latimer, notorious for brutalizing the local communities. Harold De Stone has just lost is sword (then they had to fight holding the sword with both hands as the sword weighed about 30 pounds). Vincent Latimer begins to swing his sword to the left in attempt to lob off Harold De Stone's head, when Harold De Stone pulls his ax from his belt and with an overhead swing, smashes the ax through the breast plate armour of Vincent Latimer. After William is coronated King he dubs Harold De Stone one of his Royal Knights and grants him land which Harold De Stone had named it Osbaldeston located in Lancashire, England in the Northern Province.

Observation notes of Vincent Bartell, Archbishop, held in Westminister Abbey, London, England.

There are not very good accurate records that follows Harold De Stone on down. The first Balderstone comes into play with Hugo Osbaldeston and some of his descendants. However, those links are also broken from his descendants to our first recorded ancestor: Richard Balderstone.

Below is some information on Hugo Osbaldeston and how the spelling changes occur where it becomes Balderston in some of the old English Records.

Descendants of Hugo Osbaldeston

Generation No. 1

1. HUGO2 OSBALDESTON (OSBALDESTON1) was born Abt. 1123 in Osbaldeston, Lancashire, England, and died Aft. 1205. He married MRS. HUGO OSBALDESTON Abt. 1148 in Osbaldeston, Lancashire, England.

Notes for HUGO OSBALDESTON:

Earliest recorded Balderston even though the spelling then in England was spelled Osbaldeston. The name went through various spelling changes between England, Scotland and the United States.

What immediately stands out based on English Medieval History is the place. He was born in Osbaldeston, Lancashire, England. That immediately states the area was named after the Osbaldeston, which is a sign of Nobility or Knighthood. Lancashire, England is on the border of northern England sitting right next to Scotland. The distance between Lancashire, England and Edinburg, Scotland is 50 miles.

The prefix "Os" based on English Medieval history meant "son of", and in this case son of Baldeston. The suffix "ton" on the name based on English Medieval history meant "farmer."

This family group traveled back and forth between Lancashire and Scotland and some remained in the lowands of Edinburg, Scotland where the name went through several spelling changes based on how they recorded the name in which the earliest recorded date of Scotland was in 1296.

The "Coat of Arms" and "Crests" was only given to people of "Nobility" and "Royalty". Nobility standing for Knights, and Royalty of course for the Kings and Queens. The common people were not assigned the coat of Arms. Based on trasition, the Coat of Arms was only assigned to one individual, that individual could only pass it down to the oldest living heir of his descendants.

Because the place they were from was recorded as Osbaldeston, Lancashire, England there had to be a "Coat of Arms" assigned to this family. The Coat of Arms can be found in the book titled: "Burke's General Armory of England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales by Bernard Burke, C.B., LLD" published in 1884. Below is the description of the Coat of Arms assigned to the Osbaldeston based on Burke.

"Osbaldeston: (Osbaldeston, co. Lancaster). Ar. a mascle sa. between three pellets. Crests-- 1st: A stag's head erased per pale ar. and sa. gutee counterchanged attired or; 2nd: A man in armour on horseback all ppr. in the dexter hand a sword ar. hilt or."

"Osbaldeston: (Chadlington, co. Oxford; a family of great antiquity, descended from Oswald De Stone, who came to England with William I.; (King William I ruled as King over England from 1066 - 1087, See the Kings and Queens of England - Area I at Project Happy Child http://www.happychild.org.uk/ifs/00002kqe.htm), John Osbaldeston, of that place, Visit. Oxen, was created a bart. 1664, since which period the family bore the following arms. Ar. a mascle sa. between three pellets. Crest-- A knight in complete armour on a white horse, on his shield the family arms. Motto--- Constance et ferme."

The term "mascle" is not found in the American dictionary as it is an old English term.

Child of HUGO OSBALDESTON and MRS. OSBALDESTON is:

2. i. AILSIUS3 OSBALDESTON, b. Abt. 1149, Osbaldeston, Lancashire, England; d. Aft. 1202.

Generation No. 2

2. AILSIUS3 OSBALDESTON (HUGO2, OSBALDESTON1) was born Abt. 1149 in Osbaldeston, Lancashire, England, and died Aft. 1202. He married WIMARA Abt. 1174 in Osbaldeston, Lancashire, England. She was born Abt. 1153 in Osbaldeston, Lancashire, England.

Children of AILSIUS OSBALDESTON and WIMARA are:

i. HUGH4 OSBALDESTON, b. Abt. 1175, Osbaldeston, Lancashire, England; d. Abt. 1256; m. UNKNOWN, Abt. 1200, Osbaldeston, Lancashire, England.

3. ii. WILLIAM DE BALDESTON, b. Abt. 1177, Osbaldeston, Lancashire, England; d. Aft. 1224.

Generation No. 3

3. WILLIAM4 DE BALDESTON (AILSIUS3 OSBALDESTON, HUGO2, OSBALDESTON1) was born Abt. 1177 in Osbaldeston, Lancashire, England, and died Aft. 1224. He married UNKNOWN.

Children of WILLIAM DE BALDESTON and UNKNOWN are:

ii. HENRY DE BALDESTON, b. Abt. 1210, Osbaldeston, Lancashire, England.
iii. ADAM DE BALDESTON, b. Abt. 1212, Osbaldeston, Lancashire, England.
iv. ALAN DE BALDESTON, b. Abt. 1214, Osbaldeston, Lancashire, England.
v. ROBERT DE BALDESTON, b. Abt. 1216, Osbaldeston, Lancashire, England.

Generation No. 4

4. RICHARD5 DE BALDESTON (WILLIAM4, AILSIUS3 OSBALDESTON, HUGO2, OSBALDESTON1) was born Abt. 1208 in Osbaldeston, Lancashire, England. He married UNKNOWN Abt. 1228 in Osbaldeston, Lancashire, England.

Child of RICHARD DE BALDESTON and UNKNOWN is:

i. WILLIAM6 DE BALDESTON, b. Abt. 1239, Osbaldeston, Lancashire, England; d. Aft. 1292; m. UNK, Abt. 1269, Osbaldeston, Lancashire, England; b. Abt. 1243, Osbaldeston, Lancashire, England.

Based on the map the area of Edinburg, Scotland was only 50 miles from Lancashire, England and some of Hugo's Descendants, one of Richard Balderstone's ancestors travelled to and stayed for awhile. That portion became accepted as one of the Lowland Scotlanders of Edinburg.

The Balderston name appears in the book titled: AThe Surnames of Scotland which is one of the most accurate records of Scottish History. In it is the following information:

ABALDERSTON, Balderstone, Balderton.

From the lands of Balderston in West Lothian, the tin of a man named Baldhere or Bealdhere. William de Baudrestone of the county of Linlescu rendered homage in 1296 (Bain, II, p. 202). George Balderstone was burgess of Linlithgow in 1599 (Laing), and in 1634 Richard Balderstone was charged as appearing as a witness in the same town (RPC., 2, ser. v, p. 644). William Baderstourne was a barter in Falkirk in 1663 (Stirling), and the wife of James Baderstourn in Nidrie was charged with witchcraft in 1628 (RPC., 2. ser. II, p. 444). George Balderston late burgess of Edinburgh, 1731 (Guildry, p 139). In the seventeenth century the name is also found in Edinburgh records as Balderstourne, Batherstown, and Batherstain. Balderstown 1536, Baldirstown in 1530.

Because they were accepted as Scottish, the descendants can wear the district Tartan, (District Tartan being older than the Clan Tartan due to availability of material, and colored dies). The following tartan is the one accepted by the district of Edinburgh today.

Genealogy

Osbaldeston is the ancient home of the Osbaldeston family on which Peter Osbaldeston has done a considerable amount of research. Please get in touch with him if you wish to know if there is anything of interest in the material that he holds.

This includes over 400 pages on the family and these include numerous charts and photographs I have taken of the interiors & exteriors of all the past Osbaldeston halls/houses, i.e. Osbaldeston Hall, Oxendale Hall, Sunderland Hall and houses in the Mellor area ( all in the Ribchester area of Lancashire) I have numerous photos taken of original birth & marriage records (18th century). Photographs of all graves and memorials etc still in existence. Apart from all the records for the main Lancashire family he also has most records for the smaller branches that settled elsewhere, i.e. Osbaldestons of Chadlington & Burford, Oxon; Osbaldestons of Hunmanby & Hutton Buscel, North Yorks; Osbaldestons of Disley, Cheshire, etc,etc. He also has details of most Osbaldestons families in the UK and abroad. His 'Osbaldeston' database which has taken many years of hard work has approximately 2500 entries.
