Norman Ashton search help
« on: Saturday 29 December 18 15:11 GMT (UK) »
i am researching my family tree on ancestry.com but i am struggling to find information on my grandfather and wondered if anybody could help me a little.
info gained so far is-
Norman D Ashton born 27th nov 1914 in Oswestry
married to Constance Elizabeth Peet 1940
on a birth index it says his mothers maiden name was Richards
He died in 1980 in Shardlow, Derbyshire
I would love any info on him and his parents if anybody can help at all.
Ashton, Brown, Fox, Chamberlain, Peet, Banks

The most conclusive way is to apply for his birth certificate to get details of his parents but will have a look round  :)

Have you looked for a marriage for his parents - Ashton/Richards in the area he was born?

Thank you your quick reply. The tree you are referring to is mine and i have took a guess at Maria Richards to see where it leads (could be wrong but worth a try) but can't find anything on Norman Ashtons father at all.

I can't see a marriage for Maria Helen Richards to a Mr Ashton but as both surnames are on his birth registration I would definitely get the birth certificate for more information.

There is a possible match for her and still single in 1939 - possibly dying in 1958.

You really need his birth certificate to take this any further back.

Confused me now Rosie - are we saying Edith Austin was originally Edith Richards and was widowed then married Mr Ashton?
