Thanks, Lisa....he was born in Nottingham, but the rest of his family stayed there (well, except for a brother who had been transported to Australia)

I don't see anyone on the 1850 U.S. census with a surname similar to Asher, with the following information: George, male, white, born in England within 5 years of 1816.

I don't see him in 1860, but my search wasn't as thorough, due to the amount of results (I didn't use a surname when I ran the search...I did check all surnames starting with "A").

Someone has a tree with George Thomas Asher, born 1815, Nottingham (with no additional information about him).  Is this your George?  If so, I can have another look, using all three names.

Thanks, Lisa. That sounds like the one I'm looking for....his full name on his baptism record was George Thomas Bayfield Asher
