Family History Beginners Board / John ASGILL - a pauper or son of a baronet?
« on: Thursday 31 October 19 03:51 GMT (UK) »
Hi
This is my first post so am unsure whether I have posted it in the correct place. Advice would be appreciated.
My wife is a descendant of an English convict John Cory Asgill, the son of John Asgill who died in a Workhouse in London in 1831. Many Family trees on Ancestry.com have this man as the son of General Sir Charles Asgill 2nd Baronet yet I have no corroborating evidence. Online biographies of the Baronet differ as to whether he and his wife Jemima Ogle had children. I've also read that she had children with other lovers.
Any help in clarifying whether John Asgill was related (or not) to the Baronet would be appreciated.
