 Name Origin
The place named Haworth (later Howarth or Howorth) in the ancient township of Hundersfield, in Rochdale Parish, Salford Hundred, has no such notable connections as the Bronte family, but it seems highly probable that it was from this place that most, if not indeed all, of the Lancashire Haworth families ultimately stem.
From the Rochdale area they spread north and northwest into Blackburn Hundred, just to the north of Salford Hundred, in the parishes of Whalley and Blackburn, and in particular to the areas in and around the Forest of Rossendale.
The earliest instance I have seen of the Haworths in the Rossendale area, in Blackburn Hundred, is in 1322 when three members of the Radcliffe family, with Richard the parson of Bury and several Heatons and Haworths were found to have stolen the king's deer in Musbury Park.
