Regarding the Harwood family history. George and Catherine Harwood’s children were baptised in London, England: John 2 Aug 1622, Elizabeth 16 Apr 1624, Joshua 6 Sep 1625, George 23 Dec 1627, Elizabeth 16 Apr 1629 (may be a mis-transcription) William 21 Oct 1630, Thomas 18 Jul 1632. Source https://www.familysearch.org/en/. These dates are about 20-30 years later than are given (unsourced) in most online family trees and do not correlate with accounts of purported sons e.g. William and Thomas being in America c1619 or 1620. The William Harwood who emigrated to Virginia circa 1620 was not the son of George & Catherine. George was baptised in Thurlby 23 Apr 1582 of Wylly (or Wyllm) Harwood. But the William who emigrated to Virginia 1620 may not have originated in Thurlby.
Hi Stephanie
Many thanks for your email. I have sent it to the person in America who has ties with Thurlby due to the Harwood family and did the research as I would like to get her response to be able to post with your comments. I hope you find that acceptable. Kind regards
Mary
