Astbury
« on: Friday 01 May 09 23:12 UTC (UK) » |
|
Wonder if anybody can help,,am tracing the family of a cousin and have her 3xg grandfather as a Thomas Astbury (who married a Sarah Sandbach). Their daughter was born 1818 in Preston Brook Cheshire - he had died by 1851 and in 1841 was living in Liverpool (but did not come from lancs) So I wonder if he came from Cheshire - especially with the name Astbury. Thanks
Susan

Yes, I am the same person! I am chasing up Astbury for a cousin (so Sarah mcMurtry would have been her great aunt...) hence my interest there!
Thx

Mills of Merrion Row was a catering/confectionery business through two generations of Joseph Edward Mills. Are you sure that Ernest was JEM's brother?

yes, it was! How bizarre - JE Mills was my grandfather, so we must be cousins of a sort.
I don't know what the protocol is - I'm gatecrashing the Astbury conversation. Do we start a separate string, or what?

Hi Sue....what was the daughters name who was born in 1818....if we can find her on Cheshire parish records database(CPRDb) we may be able to work backwards to find Thomas.......allan
IGI says that the baptism were at the Wesleyan Baptist, Preston Brook.
Ann Astbury - 01 Dec 1818 Wesleyan, Preston Brook, Cheshire
Sarah Astbury - 16 Aug 1820 Wesleyan, Preston Brook, Cheshire
John Astbury - 17 Mar 1822 Wesleyan, Preston Brook, Cheshire
Mary Astbury - 28 May 1823 Wesleyan, Preston Brook, Cheshire
Thomas Ashbury - 11 Aug 1824 Wesleyan, Preston Brook, Cheshire
or Liverpool
Daniel Sandback Astbury - 9 Jan 1830 Saint Peter, Liverpool, Lancashire
Elizabeth Astbury - 14 Jul 1831 Saint Peter, Liverpool, Lancashire
Emma Astbury - 13 May 1833 Saint Peter, Liverpool, Lancashire
Frances Astbury - 04 Jun 1835 Saint Peter, Liverpool, Lancashire
There is a Sarah Sandbach baptised at Whitegate 16 Jul 1797, but I cannot see Thomas.
No marriage on the Cheshire Marriage index either.
