The Loyd, Entwistle
Bank -
The private bank, Loyd,
Entwistle & Co, late of King Street,
Manchester, developed from a tea merchant's
business in Manchester. It's history can be
traced back to 1771. Acquired by the District
Bank in 1863, the bank was eventually owner by
the National Westminster Bank and subsequently
the Royal Bank of Scotland. The branch was
closed in the early 1990s.

The Entwistle
Family History Association (EFHA) is now (June
2003) through our secretary, Barbara
Nightingale, a registered member of the Guild
of One-Name Studies - Entwistle,
Entwisle, Entwhistle. A one-name study is a project researching
all occurrences of a surname, as opposed to a
particular pedigree (ancestors of one person) or
descendancy (descendants of one person or
couple). Some "one-namers" may
restrict their research geographically, perhaps
to one country, but true one-namers collect all
occurrences world-wide. The Guild only accepts
true one-name studies for registration, although
anyone with an interest in one-name studies is
welcome to become a member. Send us your
information on the Entwistles world-wide!
