Why not give me your e-mail address, so that we don't have to discuss everything publicly?

Re: HENRY ASHTON b 1892 Warrington, Lancashire, England

ashtonashton11 — 2009-09-29 18:11:43Z

Jean - thanks for your swift reply. The e-mail address that my parents took down was not a correct e-mail address - a combination of their old age and deafness caused the problem!

Contacting them again would only produce the same result and you are right to say putting such information on as open a forum as this is unwise.

As our families seemed to branch away from each other about 100 years ago, and your research seems to have gone further back than mine, what information could you want from me that would be helpful to you?

Best wishes

Hello David

No mistake about the glassblower, I'm afraid. His name was Thomas, and deserted his wife, Nancy, and died in the workhouse. I am aware that they were all wire drawers, apart from him. He was before James and Ann.

Yes, my grandmother was Henry's sister. I did find out information about him. I believe nobody in your family knew about my grandmother either. I did speak with your father and aunt, and asked them to give you my e-mail address. Did they do that? It is far less public than this forum.

ashtonashton11 — 2009-09-29 10:57:43Z

Are you the person who phoned my father and Aunt from Canada recently?

I am Henry Ashton's grandson. He was born on 19th December 1889 and died on 6th February 1929 when my father was six years old.

I have searched census forms and have traced the Ashtons back to James and Ann who were Thomas's parents. All the men seem to be wire drawers. I think your 'glass blower' is a case of poor handwriting on the census form and he was another wire drawer.

Best wishes

Ashton's of Maidenhead, Berkshire

aaronashton1 — 2009-08-29 22:18:50Z

Hi,

My grandfather's name was William George Ashton and he was born in Maidenhead on 23rd July 1926. He passed away in July 1989 age 63. I have been unable to find a record of his birth, which leads me to believe the name he used during his life, was not the one he was given at birth.

I know that he had a brother called Frank and two sisters called Violet and Eileen. I have found which I think relate to the two sisters and a record relating to a George William Ashton. All three seem to have the same mother, but I am stuck as to how to tie them together and would really welcome any help/suggestions.

Many Thanks,

Aaron

HENRY ASHTON b 1892 Warrington, Lancashire, England

anajinn — 2009-08-18 21:45:34Z

I am looking for my great aunt, Ann (b 1886) and my great uncle Henry (1892) and any descendants. I am also looking for any connections at all to this family, especially to two more recent descendants, Henry (1892)and Ann (1886), born to Thomas (1861) and Elizabeth Parr) (1860). All born and lived in Warrington. Thomas (1861) was a wire drawer. I do not know the dates of death for Henry and Ann and I am looking for their descendants. I do not know if Ann married. She died in the late 50s or early 60s.

I am also looking for my great great great grandfather, Thomas, who was married to Nancy (nee Kay). I believe he may have deserted her and died either in England or he left the country. They lived in Warrington, and he was a glass maker in 1826.

Re: A starting point, someone's bound to know!

Karen_Strother — 2009-03-27 12:11:12Z

Hi Marty
You could start by asking more questions of your mum like birth town, family members etc. Even the smallest clue can get you somewhere sometimes then maybe search census lists, electoral rolls etc. Would be easier if you had an exact place of bith then you could search the birth data bases
Not much but I hope this helps

Re: A starting point, someone's bound to know!

rashelbraun12 — 2009-02-03 01:54:07Z

Your best bet is to look for Cornish settlements in Ohio, and not Baptist. There was a Cornish settlement in Akron. Oh with Carkeets as residents at one point. It is also an industrial town.

Re: A starting point, someone's bound to know!

rashelbraun12 — 2009-02-03 02:28:13Z

Yeah, that's what I do. Look at the others affiliated with the family who had Ohio associations. My grandpa's family was from a specific town in Switzerland. The others that came from that same town migrated together for the nxt 200+ years. Check other names living next your relatives who were associated and you could find some clues. Good luck.

hi! Wondering if your Ashton line a little more recent has a William Ashton who passed in 1993 who had been married to a Dorothy Stearne.

My Ashtons I believe are from the Lincolshire area or very close to it. There is still living relative today in the Cheltenham area

Ashton name of perhaps Lincolnshire

dragonladylfn — 2009-04-19 00:14:53Z

Looking for information on:
William Ashton
He married Minnie Day b. 1887, d 1949 of Howsham, Limcolnshire.

They had at least one son that I know of George Ashton who I only know died in 1993 and he had married Dorothy Stearne who passed in 1995.
I have the names of thier living children and have been in contact, but it seems they are uninterested in helping a family member out so here I am trying to figure it out myself!

If I was able to find a marriage certificate I beleive that would help in figuring out who is who and where from!

A long time tradition in the South was to use the person's maternal grandmother's maiden name as the "second" name of a person. If your family has any connection to the South, this may lead you in a good direction. Hope so!

I am interested in finding any persons who has knowledge of the above union. One George Henry Ashton married Maria Hilda Muller. All I known is that George Henry was supposedly a POW in WW1. When not sure. I also know that there were an uncle (mine) in Germany call Bruno and a cousin called Hans. I saw them once in the 1960's just before the wall was erected. I think that they lived in the Eastern Sector of Berlin

Don't know if this is your George but am related to a George Henry ASHTON born 1873 Brant, Devonshire, ENG s/o John & Mary Ann (HOUGHTON) ASHTON. He would have been around 41 by 1914. Do not know who he married and have very little on his siblings other then they were; an unknown female child, Victor Charles, William John and Mary Ann.

His father, John, was the s/o William & Margaret (DENDLE) AHSTON from Barnstaple area of DEV, town of Pilton.

Re: A starting point, someone's bound to know!

DONALDECURKEET — 2009-02-02 23:31:53Z

This one, the only way I know he was born in Ohio was from two of Adams Co. MS census. His family migraged from Cornwall, had this child in Ohio, (child was Henry Carkeet born 1833) and then went on to Natchez MS.

Going back to 1833 is goes a long ways back. I have a Grant Co. WI Birth Record, earliest to 1891, compiled by David W. Taft, it's an index, and to find one in the 1830s is next to impossible. Henry's paretns were Baptist would this help in knowing where they were, and do you know if the Baptist have early Ohio records archived somewhere?

...don

Re: A starting point, someone's bound to know!

DONALDECURKEET — 2009-02-03 02:24:32Z

Thanks, will see what I can find.

I have been told it is a strange surname and off hand only know of two there, Henry's family and a Corbin Coby Carkeet Fox family. I know where the Fox family fits in but also think there are more surnames from Natchez MS, that came from same part of Ohio.

Charles Ashton, who died at the home of his father in West Virginia last Saturday evening, was buried yesterday afternoon at Weeks' Cemetery. He was a member of Ohio City Lodge, No. 54, K. of P., this city, and the Jr. O.U.A.M. The funeral was in charge of the K. of P., who met the remains at the ferry and followed the remains to his late home and thence to the cemetery. He leaves a wife and five children to mourn his loss. He was a steady, moral young man, and his family has the sympathy of the community.
