Place:Somerton surname:Ashley

[Majge]

Please can any one help?

My 3rd Great grandfather is a VILE ASHLEY born:1818/1825 Somerton (obviously dates vary with census's & marriage cert)
who I have found in the 1861,1871,1881, & his death in 1889.

according to his marriage certificate in 1853 Somerton, his father is ROBERT ASHLEY who is a labourer

I was wondering if anyone would possibly try & locate a possible VILE & ROBERT in the 1841 & or 1851

and/or Somerton's Parish Records.

the only other confusing factor is that VILE's eldest daughter
(my 2nd Great Grandmother) MARY JANE ASHLEY b:1855 is on the 1861 census with her maternal Grandparents & states her birthplace as IRELAND (I lose her in 1871) then she gets married & in 1901 she states IRELAND as her birthplace, yet all her siblings have theirs as SOMERTON

Many thanks

Hi,
   The child on the 1861 census with the Pivott family is Elizabeth Ashley aged 6 born Ireland??

Yes I know 
  Mary Jane has a sister named Eliza who is with her parents in 1861, so I am assuming the Grandparents may have said her name in mistake, considering her mothers name is Elizabeth. The Pivotts family are actually the Pevit.
I thought the witnesses to their marriage may prove useful but it transpires it is a John & Hannah Lambert (I have found a marriage that looks possible Langport March 1840 John Lampert & Hannah Taylor . I had hoped that Hannah may have been vile's sister!  )

Thanks for your query
