Title: stuck on 3rd generation ancestor
Post by: Sasbear on Wednesday 16 April 25 03:15 BST (UK)
Hi,
Can anyone suggest how I may move forward in my research on this particular ancestor?

Caroline Ashton
1821–1877
Birth ABT 1821 • ??
Death 1877 • Ecclesall Bierlow, Yorkshire West Riding

On the marriage certificate, married in Sheffield, names father as Thomas Ashton - fishmonger.
On 1841 Census - says born in county (West Riding)
0n 1851 census - says born in London.
on 1861 census - says born Hull.
cannot find her at all on 1871 census.
Anyone who can push me in the right direction please.
Regards
Sarah

First male child Jonathan 1839 named for his paternal grandfather

First female child Mary 1843 usually named for maternal grandmother. However there is a gap

between 1839 and 1843 and I haven't found another child using the GRO Index  otherwise I would say Caroline's mother was Mary.

Next female child is Keziah 1845 named for John Hadfield's sister who married John Eaton 16 June 1835.
John Hadfield and his family are living with them in 1851  (John Heaton and Keziah)

I think that that 1841 has N for "born in county" - ie NOT born in county.

Bridgehouses (her abode at marriage) was probably the area in the highly industrialised centre of Sheffield by the river Don, at the bottom of the Wicker.

Checked Caroline's death cert and  Kezia Bramall registered it.   Caroline's address was Channing Street.   Looking at the images for Channing Street, Nether Hallam 1871 many are illegible :-\

What about the address John died?
Can that be checked in 1871 (if not already) to see who was living there.

One small thing I’ve noticed before is the name Caroline down as Catherine and vice versa so she might be under that.

A search in papers for Pond Street came up with a death of Jane Fox aged 21. It named her parents.  Found them in 1871. 😉 

1871 Pond Street.
