I have been researching my mother's side of the family from London back to Norfolk, but have hit the proverbial 'wall'.
I have a James Askew b.1801 West Acre d.1872 Mitford, m. 02.09.1827 Eliza Aldis in Syderstone.
His siblings are Robert b.1809; Jonathan b.1795, Anne LPhillis b.1792 all West Acre.
Their parents were Robert and Mary Jarvis m. 01.07.1789 in Little Fransham.
Has anyone out there any information they may feel will help me knock down the wall and progress even further back, or sideways. The Aldis name is carried down in the family for sometime as a second Christian name.
Many thanks - in hope of a response

You don't exactly say what your 'wall' is - is it just the Aldis line?
If so, on one of the census Eliza's birthplace is quite specific - Norwich St. Martins.
FreeReg shows:
Eliza Aldis b.17/7/1807, bp.2/8/1807 St. Martin at Oak, Norwich, dau. of Francis Aldis and Eliz. Tripp - Eliza was a twin.
Daniel Aldis ditto
At least 2 other siblings:
Edward b.24/2/1809, bp.12/3/1809 St Martin at Oak (FreeReg)
and from an online tree:
Horatio b.14/2/1796 (no details given)
Francis Aldis bc.1766 bur.11/11/1834 (place not given)
A submitted entry on IGI shows a Francis Aldis bp.18/9/1766 Aslacton, Norfolk, son of
Daniel and Mary which would seem likely as he named a son Daniel.
Francis Aldis married Elizabeth Trip/p 25/3/1792 St. Giles, Norwich.
On-line tree states Daniel Aldis married Mary Dix 26/11/1761 Tivetshall St. Margaret, Norfolk and that Francis was the eldest of many children.
Hope this helps.

On-line tree and IGI point to Robert Askew being born Little Dunham, Norfolk and if that's correct:
Robert Askew, bp.10/11/1762 Little Dunham, Norfolk son of Robert and Sarah (FreeReg).
However, as Robert married Mary Jarvis in Little Fransham I would have thought he's more likely to be:
Robert bp.30/5/1762 Little Fransham, son of John and Ann.
Best I can do.

Thank you for the info - it was mainly the Askew family that was 'the wall' as I googled the name Aldis and a very useful website 'family tree' appeared which I am still working my way through. Like many names that evolve it started at Aldous and goes back to the 16th century.
I am delighted to have a Horatio in the family - goes very nicely with the Louis Napoleon who was married to an Aunt!!!

Hi, a bit late in replying, but only just found this correspondence on the web. My gg grandad was James Askew On my mum`s side). I too found Horatio Aldis fascinating and am in the process of sorting out his son`s life in the States. Horatio was of course Eliza`s brother (Eliza being the wife of James Askew.)
-
Better late than never Jaxied.
I would be most interested in any information you find on either Aldis or Askew. Are you located in East Anglia for easy access to local information or do you like me have to trawl the web in the hope of catching useful bites.
Regards

I`m up North so have to rely on the web. My mum`s line is via Charles Aldis Askew (one of James`s sons who ended up in London - Pancras).
-
My grandfather with Walter Sidney Askew who lived just off (Royal) Holloway Road in a little street known to me as Randolph Alley - he was a shopkeeper who died 1945. He had five sons and three daughters. Do they appear on your tree anywhere?
NANNY WITH ROSIE
-
Yes - all present. His wife was Eleanor.
My grandad was his brother Alfred Aldis Askew died 1959.
-
How fascinating to find a distant relation - don't quite know what we are ? removed? but my mother was Winifred Alice. Do you have details of my side - unfortunately I cannot check my tree at the moment as I have had to have a new computer and require purchasing a new programme - the original one was a freebee.
Sadly I have lost track of my uncles and their families, Aunt Dorothy Eleanor and Aunt Jessie although married did not have any children.
Let me know if you wish to complete the branch of my tree.
Regards

Did you get any further back with James Askew? His parents were Robert and Mary (nee Jarvis) Askew and it seems Robert`s father was William Askew. William`s wife was an Ann Phillis (maybe that`s why Robert named his first born Ann Phillis - after his mother). James`s brother Jonathon ended up in Canada, as did another of his sisters.
-
Hi - unfortunately my new computer still has to have the family tree programme added so I cannot call up the details.
However Phillis does sound familiar but not Canada.
Just about to purchase a new programme and when I get access to the Askew Tree will let you know what I know, particularly about Horatio. Did you find out that Walter Sidney's eldest daughter was Dorothy Eleanor who married Louis Napoleon Teague?

Hello Christina - thank you for your message. I have on my list for the children of Leonard A and Muriel the following: Muriel, Kathleen, Walter S, Arthur E and Archibald R.
My mother was sister to Leonard but I cannot remember him. Incidently Archibald was named after the eldest brother of Leonard and my mother (Winifred) and he died in France in WW1 (on 12 September 1915 in what was then known as Flanders).
Do you have more information about this line of the family?

Hi all, I'm related to the Askew family from East Yorkshire and Norfolk. My mum was an Askew before she married my dad. Her father was George Alfred Askew and his wife was Lilian Peers. His father before him was Alfred William Askew and his wife was Mary Jane Smith. So Alfred's father was George William Askew who married an Annie Elizabeth Wilson. His father was Christmas Askew whom married a Martha Hall. His father was William Askew and he married a Sarah Franklin. His father was Robert Askew and he was married to Mary Jarvis. This is all I've got about the Askew family. Would love to know more please, if anyone knows, thank you. Deborah Burton

Hello Debbie. I don't think I have must useful information for you although I do have a Christmas Askew on my tree I am not sure how accurate it is. Anyway here goes:
Robert Askew m. Mary Jarvis
Robert Askew (b 1809) m. Harriet Ward
Robert Askew (b 1839) m. Eliza
Christmas Askew (b 1881) youngest of five Julia (b 1871); Walter J (1876); George (b 1877) & Kate (b 1880). Looking at the dates there are possibly others some of which might have died.
They lived at Little Frensham Norfolk.
I think (not having looked at my tree for some considerable time) are a branch of my main tree.
My mother was an Askew.
Regards

Hi there, my Grandfather was George Edward Askew born in 22 Nov 1911, his father's name was Alfred Aldis Askew and mother's name was Helen Harriett Herbert, looking at your posts I think that you would be related to George also. He had a lot of siblings, amongst them was Violet, Albert, Arthur, Austin, Alfreda and not sure if there was a Nelly and an Alfred also. George married Emily May Maskell in 1939 and had my mum, Sandra in 1940. He lived in New Zealand from 1976? to 7 December 1982 when he died of cancer. Hope that adds something to your information.

Hello and wishing you a Happy new year.
Going backwards is Charles Aldis Askew b.1845 d.1892 (Lakenham Norwich) m. Priscilla Stone (Holborn/Smithfield). They had eight children born in London - Charles Francis 1866; James Henry 1868; John 1893; Albert Aldis 1872 (Holborn); Walter Sidney 1874 (my grandfather); Edmund Horace 1876; Alfred Aldis 1879 (Poplar/Bromley by Bow) & Frederick William 1872.
The generation before was James Askew who married Eliza Aldis (hence the unusual Christian name) who married 02 Sept 1827 Sydenstone Norfolk.
I haven't got proof all the above are correct, but it does all fit together.
Hope this helps your tree.
