Where did the English Ainsworth family come from? What is the English Ainsworth family crest and coat of arms? When did the Ainsworth family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Ainsworth family history? The name Ainsworth first arose amongst the Anglo-Saxon tribes of Britain. It is derived from their having lived in the area of Ainsworth in the parish of Middleton. Some instances, generally the Hainsworth spelling, come from Hainworth in West Yorkshire, derived in turn from an Old English personal name Hagena; while other instances of the name came from Ainsworth in the parish of Middleton, in Lancashire, from the Old English personal name Ęgen.One relatively recent invention that did much to standardize English spelling was the printing press. However, before its invention even the most literate people recorded their names according to sound rather than spelling. The spelling variations under which the name Ainsworth has appeared include Ainsworth, Ainsworthy, Aynsworth, Answorth and others. First found in Lancashire in the town of that name, near Middleton, near Manchester. This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Ainsworth research.

At this time, the shores of the New World beckoned many English families that felt that the social climate in England was oppressive and lacked opportunity for change. Thousands left England at great expense in ships that were overcrowded and full of disease. A great portion of these settlers never survived the journey and even a greater number arrived sick, starving, and without a penny. The survivors, however, were often greeted with greater opportunity than they could have experienced back home. These English settlers made significant contributions to those colonies that would eventually become the United States and Canada. An examination of early immigration records and passenger ship lists revealed that people bearing the name Ainsworth arrived in North America very early: Ainsworth Settlers in the United States in the 17th Century
Ainsworth Settlers in the United States in the 18th Century
Ainsworth Settlers in the United States in the 19th Century
Ainsworth Settlers in the United States in the 20th Century
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto. Motto: Spero meliora Motto Translation: I hope for better things.
The Ainsworth Family Crest was acquired from the Houseofnames.com archives. The Ainsworth Family Crest was drawn according to heraldic standards based on published blazons.
