Thats great Elizabeth, Can I ask did you notice if eldest son William was named Caunce or Ashton? I knew he was born out of wedlock a Caunce, and also knew he changed name to Ashton, trying to narrow down search of when he changed his name, Thanks again Ann x

william was called caunce in 1881 in 1891 known as william ashton by 1901 he was william c ashton so assume c stood for caunce. in 1901 he had his wife mary j, his sister elizabeth and 2 his 2 girls living with him. in 1901 census edward and george were scholars at a school. john was a lodger with clarke family. margaret was a servant ann was a servant to bannister family. thomas was a servant to the cooper family.

Thank you so much Elizabeth, That has helped sort out a few niggles for me, it was interesting to read Ann was a servant to bannister family, never knew that bit. Once again thankyou very much for looking Ann x

ann your welcome glad to be of help

ann don't know weither you have this info but in 1871 census thomas ashton (1853) was living with his grandparents john and alice hunter john born burscough in 1802 alice born burscough in 1801 and again in 1861 he lived with alice and john.

Thanks Elizabeth, no didn't know, havn't got that far back yet, but I will save this info for a later date. btw with the info you found for me I have located the marriage of William Caunce Ashton in 1897. I need to get his birth cert to see if fathers name is on there as family stories think maybe Thomas Ashton wasn't his father - have got his details so will send for that. Have been asking my 93yr dad for most of my info but he gets a little mixed up sometimes, but I am slowly working it all out. Once again thankyou for all your help Ann x
