Cricketers - Ainscough



Thanks to Anne Metcalfe for reminding me about this website.
http://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Players/ENG_A.html
I've used it before to find the info. about Mary Ainscough's ancestors Thomas (1865-1927), John and Hugh Ainscough three of the sons of Hugh (1816-1894) and Susan (Fairclough) (1830-1923), of Lancaster House,Parbold.
However, a 2nd glance at the archive on this website and a quick search for the name Ainscough reveals many more, both current and deceased players. Could this be a hidden Cricket gene within the family??? So if cricket is something you've not yet tried then perhaps you should give it a go - it could be your thing!
There are 10 Ainscough English players listed covering the following regions:
Worcestershire, Bedfordshire, Rishton, Clifton, Lancashire Liverpool & District. Some of these I know about but if anybody has any additional information about the players, photographs or census detail I would love to find out if these Ainscough's all originate from the same family. (Definite family links are in bold).
Players listed:
1.Amadou Ibrahima Richard S Ainscough - living - Worcestershire Second XI (Second Eleven Championship: 2006)
2.David D Ainscough - living - Rishton (Lancashire League: 1972-1987)
3.Hugh Ainscough (1860-1945) - Liverpool and District (brother of John & Thomas)
4.John Ainscough - living - Rishton
5.J Ainscough - living - Bedfordshire (Minor Counties Championship: 1931)
6.John Ainscough (1863-1937) - Liverpool and District (Grandfather of Mary & Anthony Ainscough, Parbold,brother of Hugh & Thomas)
7.JB Ainscough - living - Clifton (Miscellaneous: 2006)
8.Martin Ainscough (1897-1973) - Lancashire Second XI (Minor Counties Championship: 1922)
9.Mark Edward Ainscough - living - Rishton
10.Thomas Ainscough (1865-1927)- Lancashire (Main FC: 1894-1906)(brother of John & Hugh)

Thomas Cowley 1828 - 1912, Mawdesley

Great to have contact from Anne(Cowley) (Metcalfe anne.metcalf@tesco.net), Preston, Lancs. Her gggrandad was Thomas Cowley 1828-1912, Mawdesley age 83 who married the 2 Margaret Ainscoughs(cousins). The 2nd Margaret Ainscough was sister to my GGG grandad Hugh Ainscough 1822-1882 m Ellen Cowley (sister of the same Thomas Cowley!)

Hi
Just found your website re. the Ainscough family history, I have recently been looking into my ancestry, my maiden name was Cowley & I am the gggrandaughter of Thomas Cowley b 21.12.1828 - d1912 who married 1st wife Margaret Ainscough1 (1825-1872) then in 1874 married 2nd wife, her cousin Margaret Ainscough2 (1836-1918).
Your site mentions:
Thomas married Elizabeth (Betty) Whitehead (1797-1879), Lancs. on 17th May 1819;
CHILDREN of Thomas & Betty
Re Margaret (2nd wife 1836-1918) m Thomas Cowley (1828-?) - Thomas Cowley, my gggrandad died 1912 Aged 83

I'm a novice at this, but managing to trace quite a way back -
my husband & son are keen cricketers and are keen on me to establish a link with Thomas Ainscough, son of Hugh Ainscough b 1817 & Susan b 1831 - Thomas was born at Lancaster House Parbold 23.2.1865-20.11.1927, played for England etc
You mention a cricket website - we used
http://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Players/27/27430/27430.html
Do you know who Hugh Ainscough's father was?
Many thanks
Anne Metcalf

Hi Ann and welcome cousin!
The 2nd Margaret A wife of Thomas was sister to my GGG grandad Hugh Ainscough (1822-1882) m Ellen Cowley, Royal Oak pub, Alston, Lancs. (who incidentally was sister to Thomas Cowley!!!) Huge crossings over between the 2 families. The 1st Margaret A (1) wife of Thomas C was Margaret A(2)'s cousin as you point out and Margaret A1 was sister to John Ainscough who married Ellen Smith and lived at Rutters farm - John Ainscough's ancestors are the Ainscough Crane Hire and Bill Ainscough property developers ......

I have lots of info....it is all on the blog but when I get a moment I shall be back in touch with precise links and also some family trees - we can trace the Ainscough line back to 1585 so far.... You can also download the trees directly from my blog - the black box on the right.
Sylvia Wilcox (nsatstanwelltops@smartchat.net.au)in Australia is very keen to get in touch with other Cowley descendants - she herself is a descendant of Everilda Cowley (another sister of Thomas) and has lots of info. John Cobham, Mawdesley also has several Cowley links in his tree.
There is a link - all be it tenuous but still a link to Thomas 1st class Cricketer from Parbold.......My link is James 1711 - he was brother to Thomas 1716. It is this Thomas from which H&R Ainscough come and the Parbold line - so separated by 300 yrs but I still greet this side of the family as long lost relatives - hope this helps for now.

Chinese Ainscough

Just having a little fun here......
ever wondered what Ainscough would look like in Chinese???

AINSCOUGH

Just so you know Im not making it up visit the chinesenames.org website for more info.
http://www.chinesenames.org/name-translation/a/a09.htm

But Ed Ainscough over in Perth, Aus. adds this warning to those of you thinking of using this for business purposes......

On 14 Feb 2008, at 22:54, Ainscough, Ed wrote:
"No worries, went there and checked it out. I hired a Chinese accountant here in the office a few years ago as we work in China a lot, I'll get her to validate it and compare against my Mandarin version business card..

FYI - There are two common ways Western co.s seek to translate names into Chinese. Our business cards, which have a Mandarin version of our details on the back, are simply phonetic translations i.e. you tell them how you pronounce your name and they give you the symbols for the words that most closely match that sound. However the words are often meaningless combinations and you get very strange looks when you are introduced as Edmund Ainscough when the closest "sounding " mandarin symbols for those sounds could be "toilet cow sky".
I prefer to move to translating what our surnames mean, as is the point of the process in the first place I guess - so Edmund Ainscough for example would be "Blessed Protector Oakwood". When I revealed this to our Mandarin lady, she had not realised that our names originally meant things too, she gave me a wonderful translation of the name that she said was a very auspicious name and would gain much positive comment in China, as the symbols for blessed or rich, protector and wood were very auspicious in their own right, and she said, would make much more sense to a local than "toilet cow sky".
So be warned everyone if you were going to tattoo these symbols on your forearm - let me get Liang Xi here to make sure they do not mean something that you would never tattoo on any part of your body!!!!"

Well its not as bad as Ed makes out afterall.....Alston.Huang - a Chinese Flickr comrade has sent the Chinese meaning of the symbols, which I think is rather good but I guess it all depends on how you want to interpret it!

I am not sure if you can read the chinese characters or not. Any way, it is in the order from left to the right on your picture.

or the translation for "Oak Wood" (believed to be the true meaning of the name "Ainscough" is written as...

British Library archive - various Ainscough refs.

Dad has been busy trawling through the British Library archive indexes and copied the extensive attached information......some of which is immediately recognisable as our line of Mawdesley/Parbold Ainscough family. Other references may be of use to others researching the Lancashire Ainscough's in general. The web address into various sites for this is: http://www.a2a.org.uk
