Norfolk Lookup Requests / Gilby Family
« on: Thursday 16 October 14 22:54 BST (UK)  »
Hi,
I'm trying to help a friend trace her family so I'm hoping you can help us.

Her Grandfather FREDERICK BERTRUM GILBY was born in 1888 in Lemsford Mills in Herefordshire. 

On the 1891 & 1901 census he is found with his parents in Great Yarmouth.
Next we found him on the 1916 census in Saskatchewan Canada with a wife & 2 sons. On this census he states he arrived in Canada(we believe) in 1907.

Now the problem is we couldn't find him on the 1911 census and couldn't find him on any ship passenger lists. Could anyone with better searching skills find him on the census or ship list. His parents are still in England on the 1911 census so we believe he travelled alone.

Thanks,
shearg

Thank-you so much for all you have done for me. I think between Mo, Heather & Anne you have sorted this family out for me. With all these changing birth places on the census I wasn't sure if I was following the same family or not, so thanks Mo for clearing the parish of Edenfield and it's changing names for me. Heather & Anne thanks for finding the right marriage for me and confirming the mother's maiden name for each of the children's birth.

Thanks all,

Thanks Claire for your help.
I too seen the marriage between Joseph Ashworth & Elizabeth Ann Ormerod but after searching other census I found Henry Ashworth & Elizabeth on the 1881 census in New Church, Lancs. With them is a son Ormerod age 8 born in Rawtenstall so I wondered if this was the Elizabeth Omerod who was married to Joseph and she used her maiden name to name a son.

This family has me totally confused. Why couldn't they just keep the same birth place, makes the tracing a whole lot easier.

Lancashire / Un-readable Birth Places

Hi,
I hope someone that is familiar with the Rawtenstall area can help me figure out the birth places for the following family and give me some idea why they kept changing their birth place.

Joseph Ashworth, Wife Elizabeth & Children: Edmund, David, Wilfred, Joseph, Harry, George, Clara, & Jack
 
1881 Census: Tottingham Higher End
Joseph 33 years  born in Horncliff
Elizabeth 25 years born in Lench
Edmund age 1 born in Townend Fold

1891 census: Tottingham Higher End
Joseph 44 year Born Edenfield
Elizabeth 35  born in Rough Lee
All the children born in Edenfield:
Edmund 11
David 9
Wilfred 4
Joseph 2
Harry 3 days old


1901 census in Rawtenstall
Joseph 53 born in Balladin
Elizabeth 45 Born in Cowpe
Edmund 21 born in Birch Colt
Rest of the boys were born in Cleggs Buildys
David 19
Wilfred 14
Joseph 12
Harry 10
George 6
Jack 5
and daughter Clara age 2 born in Birch Colt

I found on the FreeBMD wesite Joseph Ashworth married Elizabeth Ann Robinson in the Sept. Qtr.  1877 in Haslingden Dist. 8e- page 191 but can't find this marriage on Ancestry. If anyone has access to this marriage I would really like to know when & where it took place. This family went to Canada in 1907.

Thank-you for your time and I really would appreciate any help anyone can offer.

Thanks Diddy for all the info you found for me. Too bad the Directories didn't go back any further but I think you have proved a family connection.

Lincolnshire / ASHTON's Clockmakers in Barton & Brigg 1780 & on wards
« on: Saturday 24 August 13 18:37 BST (UK)  »
Hi,
We were given a Grandfather clock that has been in the family for several generations and would like to find out any info that we can on the builder.
We were told it was made by J. ASHTON app. 1780 in Brigg. Searching I found a William ASHTON on the 1835 Pigot's as a clockmaker in Market Place in Barton.

Were there any Directories earlier than that or any way of proving J.(John??) & William were related?

Thanks,
shearg

Hi Sue 1950,
 My mother-in-law was sent to the Horncastle Children's Home in 1934. Do you know if the building is still standing? I would love to have a picture of it or any information about the home so if you could help in any way I would really appreciate getting anything. I live in Canada so if there are any online records I could search they would be an added bonus. She just passed away last Oct but was not buried in Horncastle.
Thanks,
shearg
