I would like to find out if William ASHELFORD, (b. about 1783, Somerset) died on Jersey - probably St. Helier - by the 1851 census of St. Helier, when his wife, Sarah ASHFORD was identified as a widow, and mother-in-law to Thomas BRENTON (who had married Sarah ASHELFORD two weeks prior to the census).
I would like to find out if ASHELFORD/ASHILFORD/etc. persons died on Jersey between 1851 and 1861, particularly:
Sarah ASHELFORD b. 1780s (wife/widow of William)
Isaac ASHELFORD b. about 1809 Somerset
Mary or Mary Ann ASHELFORD (wife of Isaac)
Jane ASHELFORD b. about 1835 Somerset (dau. of Isaac)
Charlotte ASHELFORD b. 1838 Somerset (dau. of Isaac)
I can't find the above named ASHELFORD persons anywhere in 1861. Isaac was a son of William and Sarah ASHELFORD, and Isaac was on Alderney in 1851. No record of his death on Alderney, but he may have joined his mother, sister, or brother (Francis) on Jersey. There may be another one or two ASHELFORD deaths, probably children of whom I have no record.
I would appreciate any help with a search for these deaths.
