A Richard Ashford was baptised at St Mary, Southampton on 8 Mr 1823, parents Robert & Elizabeth.

They may also have had two more children (?twins) baptised the same day, 30 Dec 1821 at St Mary's.  Parents recorded at Robert & Betsey.  They were Robert William and Ann.

I have also found the baptisms of Charles and Amelia.  I think there is a single Elizabeth Ashford and a married (to Robert) Elizabeth Ashford.

Marriages:
Elizabeth Ashford married Charles Jelly 11 Jun 1821 at St Mary Southampton
Elizabeth Ashford married William Brooks 6 Feb 1831 at St Mary, Southampton.
Robert Ashford married Elizabeth Meredy 6 Oct 1821 at St Mary, Southampton.

A Robert Froud Ashford was buried 14 May 1823 in Southampton aged 53

I don't seem to be able to find Celia, Bestsey (or Elizabeth) Finah or Charlotte in the baptism records.
