I found that Ann, widow of Capt James Adshead, died in 1822 at Yew Tree Cottage Eccles. My ancestor John Hodson (married to Ann Lee)was living at this address in 1825. He was a cotton manufacturer in Manchester. I wonder if there may be a connection?

Trying to get in touch with the Mandy Janye Adshead family tree as you have my grandfather Bernard in your tree, also interested in other Adsheads from Walsall and Turners from Darlaston, O' Briens from Wednesbury (Galway)other family names include Oliver, Tranter and Chrimes.

Apologies for the late reply, I was most interested in your reply as I have an extensive family tree plotted up and can see whereabouts you're descended from. It was nice to hear of Eliza's surname and of her brother. I shall add this to the family tree.

I made a breakthrough a while ago. I stumbled upon Captain James' will by accident. Itself the will has been most informative and also came across an obituary notice for him as well. It stated that he died aged 45 and his second wife also passed not long after him aged 32yrs. You are correct in your assumption that Captain James originated from England with the army and he also returned home to die. How odd that is. But the will is quite enlightening. If you'd like to see the will - let me know. I also confirm that Captain James was also from the 22nd Light Dragoons which probably explained his meteoric rise from signing up to a commissioned post.

Kind Regards

Hi Jeff,
I would like to thank you for your informed reply and of course to everyone else on these forums who help out others who are struggling. I have so many dead ends with my India family for example I have never yet found a birth cert for my late mother who was certain that one had "never been issued" With what you have told me I am certain that I will find something.
Again thank you so much I am sure to need your help again.
Regards,
Lester

If you can’t find a birth, marriage or death recorded in any of the GRO Overseas indices [mainly army], then for a BMD [and more] in India, it’s more likely in the records of the India Office [Department]; these are held in British Library’s Asia, Africa & Pacific Collection.

The Library has recently introduced an online “Family History Search”, where transcripts of the event certificates can be viewed for free, with a charge for copies of the actual certificate/record entry. There are presently 300,000 records online, this represents only about 10% of the total held at the Library.

Couldn’t find the birth of Mary Anne Rose Adshead on the British Library’s India Office Family Search at http://indiafamily.bl.uk/UI/Home.aspx but did find her parents marriage:

Name: Charles Josiah ADSHEAD
Event type: Marriage
Start date: 29 May Start year: 1861
End date: End year:
Location: Vepery
Spouse: Rose Eleanor CORNER
Age: 24
Status: clerk, BAINBRIDGE BYARD CARR & CO.
Parents: James Hare Adshead
Notes:
Transcribed by: British Library
India Office Records Reference: N/2/42 f.143
Source name:
Source year:
Source edition:
Presidency: Madras

Certificates are much more expensive than the GRO’s.

I’m sure the Library will have a copy of Mary Anne Rose’s birth & baptism on record, just not online yet.

Re: Adshead's in Australia

storm17h — 2008-08-27 22:05:11Z

Dear C_Adshead,my father's mother's maiden name was Adshead, and her great great grandfather was Lieutenant James Adshead. James married twice, firstly to Eliza Hare, and then secondly to Ann Coats. I believe my relations are descended from children of the first marriage. I also believe that James Adshead arrived in India from the UK in about 1803. I do not have details of James' date or place of birth nor details of when or where he died. The details that I do have were obtained by my sister, who is currently on holiday until the end of this week. She has family tree details of James' descendants via Eliza Hare up to my grandmother Muriel Beatrice Adshead (1905-1992). I will supply further information when she returns. I would be grateful if you could let me have any information that you may have relevant to James. I would also mention that Eliza's brother was Lieutenant Colonel James Hare who I believe was serving with HM 22nd Dragoons in 1814. I await your reply.

Hello, My name is Robyn Atkinson and I am searching for my paternal grandmother Jessie Lee Adshead (nee Moar) who was also reportedly born in India in 1896. My grandfather, Bertrand John Adshead, was in the British army from 1916 to 1927 and was in Madras from 1925 to 1927. He was born in Lamberth London on 5th October,1895. Bert & Jessie were married in Edinburgh on 11th april, 1917.They had 8 children, Bertrand, Cecil, Lillian, Peter,Desmond, Beatrix, Vera & Daphne. They emigrated to Australia in 1937 along with granddad's brother Frank. Are any of these people in your tree, and if they are do you have any information about Jessie Lee(Moar), I am unable to find out about any birth records in India.
Cheers, Robyn

Bertram (known as Albert) Adshead (b1888) was the son of James Adshead b.1854 and Elizabeth Adshead (nee Winter) b.1856 of Hammersmith London. Albert emigrated to Australia prior to the First World War, and later joined the Australian army. During the war, when on leave, he visited his family in Hammersmith, London. After he returned to Australia his family in England never heard from him again. Does anyone know what happened it him?

Have you looked at the GRO web site? Found by looking at the GENUKI web site were these URLs:

http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/faqs-overseas... and http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/research/searchingforovers... may contain the information you need.

A Google search also brought up http://genealogy.about.com/library/weekly/aa062100e.htm

Some pay-to-view sites hold indices to Overseas Births. A web search will bring these up for you.

The National Archives has a guide at http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/familyhistory/guide/migra...

Hope this helps a little. Good luck!

While searching through batch numbers for Cheshire I found a John Adshead Christening on 07 May 1654 at St. Mary, Disley. My earliest ancestor here in America named John Adsit died 1734. He was supposedly English. His first wife was born 1653. This is the only man that fits the time frame in all the many batch numbers I have searched. Could this possibly be one and the same man? And can anyone suggest how I prove or disprove this. The christening record lists his father as William and mother as Grace. Found a sister Marie but no other siblings.TIA

What else do you have about this branch of the Adshead family. I am having great difficulty finding details of John Hall's father who I believe was John Adshead born in Halifax c1815. He married Elizabeth Walker and these are my GG Grandparents.

Hello- if you still look at this...I believe that my grandfather and yours might have been brothers. He was William Lester Adshead and he was a tilesetter in Paterson, NJ in the early 20th century, and I believe that my father William Lester Jr. once told me that he had a brother named George. All I know is that they immigrated to the US from Manchester, UK. I never met him. He died of lung cancer many years ago. My dad died in 2007 at age 97.

And that the Adshead's you mentioned are currently in Australia, half of them is in my family tree.

Mary Adshead born Oct 27, 1797, Altrincham to John Adshead & Sarah Jansen
Mary Adshead born Feb 16, 1800, Altrincham to James Adshead & Mary Warburton

Is anyone researching the ADSHAD family of Cheshire and Burnage Manchester. We are particularly interested in the family of Ann a widow born 1808 at Handforth who was living in Burnage in 1861.
Also Peter almost certainly related born c 1823 at Styal or Fulshaw Cheshire.
Also John born 1821 at Morly? Cheshire
This is a local history venture and we only have information on the families who lived in Burnage one of the townships of Manchester.
We know nothing of them elsewhere.
If you know of a Burnage or Bolton connection please contact us.

This would be in Gilroy, California (which is near the boundary of Santa Clara and Monterey County in California USA) about 1920 to 1945 range? Also, possibly connecting is one surname JONES, Maude M born about 1920 in Idaho to Adshead or Adshade living in Gilroy area mid to late 1930's.

One was buried on the 2nd Feb 1762 in St James, Audley, Staffs; the other was born around 1811, was described as a paper hanger in the 1881 census and died in 1890 in Stockport.
