Lancashire / Location of Richard Ashcroft in 1881
« on: Monday 27 October 25 15:19 GMT (UK) »
Hi all,
I'm looking for the above Richard Ashcroft in the 1881 census please. Richard was born 1 June 1879 in Tontine, Upholland in Lancashire. His parents were Thomas Ashcroft 1840-1892 and Joanna Ashcroft (Downham) they were married in 1875 in Wigan, Lancashire. I have noticed the surname is sometimes spelt as Ascroft rather than Ashcroft. I cant find his parents in 1881 either, any help appreciated, thanks in advance x

Thanks loads for that, much appreciated. Im beginning to wonder if Jane could have been married before she married William Dixon, im thinking that because in 1861 she was already 34. If thats correct she would have a different name when she remarried to William and would explain why i cant find a Ewart and Dixon marriage x

Has anybody had any luck finding Williams first marriage to Jane ? he was with her on the census in 1861,71 and 1881. The children are registered under the name of Ewart apart from John Dixon in 1862 and its spelt as Hewit x

Rosie99 ive just found this marriage in the paper in1 1886
William Dixon, to Sarah Coward both of Old London Road, Penrith.
In 1881 William Dixon is living at this address with Jane and 5 children, so this is defo his first wife, all the children are registered under the Ewart name but i cant find a marriage for William with a Jane Ewart anywhere x

Rosie 99, his age is another mystery, his marriage in 1886 to Sarah Coward says he is 50, the 1891 census, even though its only 5 years later, states he is 65. The marriage is only a transcription so there is a chance i suppose his age been transcribed wrong and his was actually 60 in 1886, would make a bit more sense i think x
