Hello all, Thankyou to rosie & pauline for your quick replies, I know I made a very generalised plea but I guess the info I'm looking for is much earlier than census material. I have records (Sussex Weald Gen.) back to John Ashby b.11 Nov. 1592. in Rotherfield, m. Jone Hilder. Then through A***y I have unproven lineage back to John de Ashby b.1341 in Ashby Magma, Leicestershire.(m. Alice de Albiny) This data then leads back to Phillip de Sassfrid Ashby. etc. Is there any truth to this direct line, and how do I prove it? I have tried different sources, official family trees, open web searches many of which seem to go right down to the very generation I need then stop, making me rather suspicious of the veracity of the other peoples trees. ie I ca'nt find any evidence to support them; and where did they get the original idea from, or are we all copying the same misinformation perpetrated by some genealogy fiend ? HELP Please. Regards Alan
