ASHWELL Family Bedfordshire

[lambkin]

I have some Ashwells in my Tree from Bedfordshire. I go back to Thomas Ashwell 1682c-1750 in Cardington, Bedfordshire who married Sarah Cross 1690c-1721. They had a son Cross Ashwell b.1715c. There descendants were from Lidlington and Kempston. Are these any relations to your families?

Relation, yes

Hi Lambkin

I have just traced the Ashwell's back on IGI and my Elizabeth Ashwell (if she is in fact mine, see previous entry) goes back to your Edmund Ashwell c1538 in Totterhoe/Tottenhoe. There is definitely an Elisabeth Ashwell who was born in Sutton.

  I have in in my mind that they were farmers, but probably not.

Hi Lambkin,

Have you got Thomas and Sarah Ashwell from 1682 in your Tree?

Hi Lambkin,

Have you got Thomas and Sarah Ashwell from 1682 in your Tree?

Carol.

They ring a bell. I have had a big move around in the house and all my relevant info is in a box somewhere, but those names do ring a bell.

Hi RBC

I'll start a new Medlock thread as otherwise we're in danger of hijacking this Ashwell thread, and it's getting very confused!

My ancestor Mathew Ashwell (married to Sophia Crossley) from Kempston Bedfordshire. Does anyone know anything about the Ashwell family and the Crossley's also?

Hello lambkin,
My gt. grandmother was Louisa Crosley (although the spelling of her surname varies, sometimes Crossley, Croseley, Crowsley, etc.).  Anyway, I recently sent for what I think and hope is her birth certificate (born 1 Oct 1842 in Kempston) and found that her mother was Catherine Ashwell, her father William Croseley).

I then got Catherine's marriage cert - her father was Matthew Ashwell.  On IGI she is listed as having been christened on 18 Jan 1818 at All Saints, Kempston, parents Mathew Ashwell and Sophia Crossley, who were married on 15 Jan 1818.  Mathew is given as born 23 May 1796.  His parents Mathew and Mary Hull, married 3 Dec 1775.

All these different spellings are confusing, but maybe we have a connection?

Yes the name Hull is familiar to me,  so we may well have a connection

Hi Lambkin,

I'll look forward to knowing if we really do have a connection and if so how it works!

I will have a sort out upstairs hopefully tomorrow, through all my bits of info. I know the name Peddar is in the family somewhere.

See PM I sent you.
