I am trying to find ancestors and family of my partners GG Grandfather James Ashton c1890, i assume from West Bromwich. He married a Hannah Adams in 1915, West Bromwich and I have found records of births for 5 children, there could possibly be more. I dont have anything before this so was hoping census records might help if someone could check 1911, 1901 and 1891 please. Thanks in advance.

There is this in 1911 but without knowing who his parents were it's only a guess. They had had 11 children, 9 still living in 1911

Thanks for all this, i was just conveniently interrupted my a phone call from my partners dad, he can confirm that he had an aunt named Harriet so the 1911 record is a possible match, and with the names and ages matching earlier records it looks like we are on the right track. Thanks again. Any other information is more than welcome,

I really appreaiate all the help ive been given and hope you dont think i am being greedy if i ask for some more.

This definately looks like the family i am tracing and i would like to fill in some blanks. I will list them to make it a bit easier.

*Job Ashton born 1867, living at home 1881 census. Any idea where he was after this?
*Hannah Ashton born 1880, at home 1881 & 1891 census. Where was she after this?
*Clara Ashton born 1882, at home in 1891 census. Where was she after this?
*John Ashton born 1870, at home in 1901 age 31 and married. Where was he before and after this?
*Richard Ashton born 1875 & Paul Ashton born 1877, at home in 1891 & 1901 census. Where was he before and after this?
*Sidney Ashton, born 1885, at home in 1891 & 1901 census, where was he after this?
*William Ashton, born 1887, at home in 1891 & 1901 census. Where was he after this?
*And finally, the two grandchildren of the household in 1911, who were their parents and where were they?

I know this sounds like a lot but if you could just help with one of these questions i would be really gratefull. Thanks in advance :o)
