Hi again shirley,
Confusing lot aren't they!
Do you know when John's wife, Sarah, died?

Shirley,
My feeling is it might be Sturston - which is 1 mile east of Ashbourne.
There's another place called Snelston, which is about 3 miles away from Ashbourne, bu the more I look at it the more I think it's Sturston.
If you look at the way he writes his letter 'S' when he writes it followed by a 'T' you'll see what I mean.
Let me know what you think, Shirley.
Fingers crossed.

Hi Shirley,
John and Sarah's marriage was at Handsworth, Staffs. in 1834.
Favourite for Sarah's baptism at the moment looks like Birmingham.

Hi again

Sorry Paulene I should have said I had their marriage, and I also think Sarah is likely to have been born in Birmingham, but can't find it at the moment.  Huh

Hi Shirley,
That's Ok.

Let me tell you what I've found so far:
Marriage for a John Frost to Ellen Etches - Ashbourne, St. Oswalds
12 Jun 1803
Birth of Elizabeth Etches (Betty) - various dates 1762 and 1763 at St. Oswalds, Ashbourne.
Have a look, and a think about it all.

Catch up with you soon - need to do a bit of ironing.

Hi Shirley,
Hope all goes well.
No rush - you need time time now to have a think, and sort through everything.
Take care,

Hi Paulene

I am favouring Elizabeth Green's marriage to John Frost 23 11 1803 in Derby, but only because it is in the right time frame ~ I can't find it on the wirksworth site and I wouldn't include it on my Family Tree without more proof/link.

That's all I have for now.

Many thanks for your help Paulene.

Can't help you with name of town ,but there is an Elizabeth Frost in 1841 census birth dates a little off living in Birmingham and born somewhere other than Warwickshire ; she is described as seller of milk, which might tie in with son John's occupation in 1851 as milkman.

Hi Liz

I have had a look on Ancestry and there are multiple choices for Elizabeth Frost born 1765/66.

I believe she was born in Derbyshire because she is with Maria Walters (widow) in the 1851 census.  Maria was born in Asbourne, Derbyshire and her daughter Mary Walters married Thomas Frost in 1864 in Birmingham.

Maria Walters was the informant on Elizabeth Frost death certificate.

Thomas Frost [1837] born in Handsworth, Birmingham, was Elizabeth Frosts grandson.

I hope to knock this brickwall done eventually.............

Thank you very much for your interest.

hi,
It looks like Swales to me. Although i don't know if its a real town or something i've read about in a book. [I do read a lot of books and fiction and reality often get mixed up]

Thank you flame ~ I haven't come across that village, but I do need to get an old OS map of Derbyshire.

Thank you for your suggestion.
