Title: Eliza Ashman
Post by: lordb on Monday 13 October 14 11:22 BST (UK)

Hi
I'm looking for Eliza Ashman, she was born in the UK in 1880, she was still here in 1902 (witness to a wedding) but no trace afterwards.I have a 1904 passenger list for the Goorkha showing a Eliza Ashman of the right age bound for South Arica (destination only given as South Africa).I have searched the available sites, no luck, was hoping that someone with access to marriage records / 1911 census might be able to help.

Thanks in anticipation

Byron

Hi Rosie

Yes, her father was George Ashman, mother Mary Ann (nee Coles). She was born in 1880 in Radstock, Somerset.
