I don't know why the 'Whether born in same county box' has D or H instead of Y or N
A Richard Ashford was baptised at St Mary, Southampton on 8 Mr 1823, parents Robert & Elizabeth.
They may also have had two more children (?twins) baptised the same day, 30 Dec 1821 at St Mary's. Parents recorded at Robert & Betsey. They were Robert William and Ann.
I have also found the baptisms of Charles and Amelia. I think there is a single Elizabeth Ashford and a married (to Robert) Elizabeth Ashford.
Marriages: Elizabeth Ashford married Charles Jelly 11 Jun 1821 at St Mary Southampton Elizabeth Ashford married William Brooks 6 Feb 1831 at St Mary, Southampton. Robert Ashford married Elizabeth Meredy 6 Oct 1821 at St Mary, Southampton.
A Robert Froud Ashford was buried 14 May 1823 in Southampton aged 53
I don't seem to be able to find Celia, Bestsey (or Elizabeth) Finah or Charlotte in the baptism records.
Thank you for the infomation. My mother has informed me that she has a letter which says "bastardy payments Charles b 1820 was born in St Marys Southampton workhouse. Father was a drummer in the recruiting party eloped. Amelia was born in 1827 born in St Marys Southampton workhouse father was James Orchard a blacksmith. a warrant was granted. eloped did he disappeared regards Elaine
