John Sarll
« on: Saturday 08 April 17 23:21 BST (UK) »
My 5 x grandfather was born in 1775 Blunham, married to Catherine Ashwell  and died in 1839 Biggleswade. What I am trying to find is his mother & father and siblings because I just have no idea

I guess I should get his birth or death certificate and so that may help me. Where would I find the ref for ordering the certificate?

Also the mention of the Ashwells before on this site has me looking at Catherine's side as well and she was the daughter of James Ashwell and Mary Bennington. Anyone have any info on them at all? Thank you

You will not find a birth certificate as civil registration didn't start until 1837.  His death certificate can be ordered from the GRO but is unlikely to give you any clue as to his parents or siblings.  www.gro.gov.uk

What makes you believe he was born in Blunham?

I'm guessing this is John's burial, in Sandy: 25 November 1839.

With some non-conformist baptisms (Baptist) at Blunham (with Catherine Ashwell) on familysearch?
Mary (b 7 Nov 1806) bap 26 Apr 1807
William (b 28 Mar 1804)
Jonathan (b 31 Dec 1799)

familysearch also has Catherine's baptism:
Kitty ASHWELL born 27 Oct 1772, baptised at the Blunham Baptist, parents James ASHWELL and Mary BERINGTON

Added: you might have these: 1841 census
HO107/9/10 Sandy, Biggleswade
Catherine    65
Mary           30

And Catherine SARLL death 1846 at Biggleswade 6/51

James ASHWELL married Mary BENNINGTON 4 June 1759 at Blunham and appears to have had children baptised:

David 9 Jan 1763
William 1 Sep 1768
Thomas 29 July 1770
Kitty (born 27 Oct 1772)
Samuel (born 7 Jan 1775)

Not sure why there's such a gap between the marriage and David's baptism, there's probably other children not recorded on familysearch?
