Wonder if anybody can help,,am tracing the family of a cousin and have her 3xg grandfather as a Thomas Astbury (who married a Sarah Sandbach). Their daughter was born 1818 in Preston Brook Cheshire - he had died by 1851 and in 1841 was living in Liverpool (but did not come from lancs) So I wonder if he came from Cheshire - especially with the name Astbury. Thanks

Hi Sue....what was the daughters name who was born in 1818....if we can find her on Cheshire parish records database(CPRDb) we may be able to work backwards to find Thomas.......allan

Thanks - the daughter was Ann b (according to IGI) 1818 and they also had a Thomas b c.1824
Thx for your help

Hiya Suse...ok...preston brook is 6 miles from where I live..
ANNE ASTBURY married JOSEPH BUCKLEY in 1844 in St Marys church Whitegate(this is Preston Brook area)....this marriage is on
www.cheshirebmd.org.uk can you check this marriage out ?
Ref No is 154/1/69.....be back soon.....allan
OK Suse......there are 28 babtisms in Whitegate (preston brook) area for ASTBURY....but I can`t find ANN b 1818....so I don`t think these Astburys are Thomas and his family....the Thomas in Preston Brook around 1800 is
Thomas Astbury babtised 5 oct 1800.......this Thomas marries a Mary Hopley 25 july 1822.......looks like a dead end....check it out yourself......go to Cheshire Resources thread and look for the www.csc.liv.ac.uk/cprdb link and then click on DATABASE....then babtism/marriage/burial then type in the surname ASTBURY........good luck....allan

Suse - are you the same person who was looking for info re Mills of Merrion Row?? If you are, I might be able to help ...
-
Yes, I am the same person! I am chasing up Astbury for a cousin (so Sarah mcMurtry would have been her great aunt...) hence my interest there!
Thx

Mills of Merrion Row was a catering/confectionery business through two generations of Joseph Edward Mills. Are you sure that Ernest was JEM's brother?
-
yes, pretty sure - checked his birth details etc in Dublin and found that Joseph was his father - dont have my notebook here but I think his mother was Mary ann (maiden name Jameson)
-
yes, it was! How bizarre - JE Mills was my grandfather, so we must be cousins of a sort.
I don't know what the protocol is - I'm gatecrashing the Astbury conversation. Do we start a separate string, or what?

Mary Astbury - 28 May 1823 Wesleyan, Preston Brook, Cheshire
Thomas Ashbury - 11 Aug 1824 Wesleyan, Preston Brook, Cheshire
or Liverpool

There is a Sarah Sandbach baptised at Whitegate 16 Jul 1797, but I cannot see Thomas.
No marriage on the Cheshire Marriage index either.
