Lancashire / Re: MIs for Ormskirk Parish church(name: Ashton)

thanks, it was seeing those that inspired me to start searching again - and the reason I was hoping for an MI which might have put some of those names into families/groups.......I am now pretty certain that John who died in 1867 is our ancestor, and that Margaret seems a likely one because he was widowed by the 1861 census, which just fits in with that burial date.

The only MI transcription book had been compiled privately and only showed an Elizabeth Ashton of Southport died 27th April 1847,aged 75

thankyou for checking for me - strangely enough I did see an Elizabeth on one of the many headstones being used as a footpath slab.

I'm afraid the CD's DVD's are covered by copyright. but you should be able to get the information from Lancashire  (Preston )Records Office
Yes, I do realise they are copyrighted ,which is why I didn't ask for a lookup. But if someone had.replied saying there were none at least it would save me £10....... so many times in the past I have purchased fiche or cds only to find that my ancestors were too poor to have headstones.

thank you very much for the offer - I am hoping there is something there for John Ashton, buried 8 Aug 1867 aged 73....hopefully with a wife Margaret (think she died in early 1861).

The burials are in St Peter & St Pauls Church registers, Ormskirk (the parish church)....There were 3 separate John & Margarets there during the same period, John being a sawyer during his working life...

Don't worry if you  don't have time  to look after you have done your own searches - I know how the time flies once you start looking.

Lancashire / MIs for Ormskirk Parish church(name: Ashton)

after looking for this family for the last 10 years I have at last managed to get what I think is the right family - even visited Ormskirk parish church graveyard on Saturday to see if I could find a likely headstone - but of course in a short visit (and finding that many were now included in the pathways) - I gave up, too little time and an impatient husband!

I see there are Ormskirk Parish church MIs on CD - at £10, but was wondering if someone had a copy already and could let me know if its worth getting - ie, are there any Ashtons on it?

There are still Nattrass families in Carlisle - are they linked to any of your lines?

Hi Keith - just a wee bit younger than you - born 1950...and yes, been doing it about 5 years.My father died then and it struck me that if I didn't start looking pretty soon there'd be no one left to answer any questions.....as it is, remaining family  knew very little so its all coming together like a new jigsaw.

Cumberland / STRANEY/STRANY ...Carlisle and Whitehaven
« on: Sunday 21 November 04 11:45 GMT (UK)  »
Hubbys line has a Bernard STRANEY born in Carlisle in 1798 to John STRANEY and wife Frances LANAUGHAN...then Bernard  married in Whitehaven to Ann CARR (a widow) and returned and lived in Carlisle until the 1870s when he moved to Annan (where one of his daughters was living) and died there. 
John & Frances stayed/died in Carlisle....but I would be interested to know if anyone else is looking for STRANEY..does our John and son Bernard link up to any other STRANEY in Whitehaven....haven't found a link as yet.
