Illegitimate or not?
« on: Sunday 07 March 04 22:56 GMT (UK) »
Not long ago unexpectantly found my ggg grandad Samuel Ashworth in 1861 census living as a single man with his parents aged 19 in Hyde, I had expected to find him married to Elizabeth,20, with a kiddie John aged 2. This is indicating that either he married a woman with an illegitmate kid, or a widow with a kid. Makes it harder as I have'nt yet found the marriage so can't seek a baptism. I suspect Elizabeths maiden name was Booth as she called her 3rd son Booth Ashworth.
