Hi Karen,
My Great grandfather was George Ashbridge (son of Thomas)I have your Williams birth, marriage and death certificate and I tell you alot about your family.I think I even have you on the tree but I dont want to scare you off. I would really like to chat to you so give me an email at gary_ashbridge@hotmail.com
Just to let you know your ancestry goes back to 1538 in Caldbeck to a John Asbrigg who owned Brownrigg Farm.
I go to Caldbeck about once a year to have a look round but i have spent days in the records office in Carlisle getting your ancestors wills. Just to let you know Thomas (Great Great Grandfather was illigitimate and his mother was Jane Asbridge who was born in 1806 in Caldbeck.

Please contact me as I really want to chat to you. Iam writing a book about our family and your branch will be in it.
Hope to hear from you
Gary
