Hello, JulieMoores:

Glad to hear from you! Yes, I am descended from William and Jane Ashdown. They are both buried here, in the family burial plot at St. John's Cathedral churchyard in Winnipeg. I have a great deal of detail, including several photographs, and details of most of their children. Northfleet was supposed to be where they originated.
s you can see, some of my details are a little different, esp. the date of marriage.

William Ashdown Born 10th June 1819, London England Died July 29, 1903 Winnipeg

Married 19 Dec. 1839 to:

Jane Ashdown Born 21st March? 1820 Died Dec 11 1902, Winnipeg

I have virtually nothing on the Watling family, so your information could fill in a number of holes. I would be very pleased to hear from you.

My e-mail is washdown@shaw.ca.
