Hi Frances, There is this Ann Ashton, a widow, with daughter Harriet. She is a widow. Ann Ashton abt 1792 Sheffield, Yorkshire, England Head Sheffield Yorkshire View Record Harriet Ashton Ann abt 1834 Sheffield, Yorkshire, England Daughter Sheffield Yorkshire They were living at 45 Edward Street, Holliscroft, Sheffield. Regards Claire

Thank you Claire, I had a feeling that Benjamin was no longer with them but Ann looks good. Unfortunately Claire does not show in IGI but 2 census make her real! Frances

I think this could be Benjamin and Ann's marriage from the IGI: BENJAMIN ASHTON Pedigree Male Family -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Event(s): Birth: Christening: Death: Burial: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marriages: Spouse: ANN WHITE Family Marriage: 01 AUG 1812 Sheffield Cathedral, Sheffield, Yorkshire, England I notice there is a White surnamed person with the Ashton's on the 41 census, probably a sister of Ann. Regards Claire

freebmd only shows on Benjamin Ashton who died in Sheffield between 1841 and 51. Deaths Jun 1845 (>99%) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ASHTON Benjamin Sheffield 22 387 Regards Claire

Hi Claire, Thank you for the extra, I have the marriage and potential family of Ann White. She has 4 sisters - Sarah 1789, Elizabeth 1794 and Lidia and Hannah 1796 (possibly twins?) Frances
