Hello, Nick
I have a formidable list of info I have found for Joseph Asbury with 1st
wife Ann Aldridge & 2nd wife Sarah Willingham
Bapt for Joseph Asbury
22nd mar 1818 St Pauls Warden, Hertford
Father John mother Sarah
children
all bapt at St Paul Warden Hertfordshire
Mary Ann 10th Apr. 1814
William 2nd June 1816
Joseph 22nd Mar 1818
Chatlotte 19th Mar 1820
Harriet 24th Feb 1822
Sarah 24th June 1825
George 21st Oct 1823
St Pauls Warden & Whitwell ( sometimes shown as Whitewell in the census) are neighbouring villages between Luton & Stevenage, the registration district would be Hitchin
Bapts for the children you list,with parents Joseph & Ann
William Asbury
3rd Mar 1829 St Pauls Warden
Mar ¼ 1839 Hitchin 6 505
Sarah
9th Nov 1845 St Pauls Warden
The only birth regs that fit for Sarah are..
Dec ¼ 1841 Hitchin 6 506
Sept. ¼ 1841 Hitchin 6 508 , she is not shown in any census
I do not think the Rose you show as a child for Joseph & Ann is correct as there is a bapt. for the right time, only mother shown so she is probably illegitimate, & the date is too early for Joseph & Ann's marriage
4th Aug 1833 St Pauls Warden
mother Mary Ann Asbury (Joseph does have a sister Mary Ann b 10th Apr. 1814)
Mariage dates for Joseph Asbury
Ann Aldridge Dec ¼ 1838 Hitchen 6 958
Sarah Willingham June ¼ 1849 Hitchen 6 749
Deaths
Ann Asbury
Sept. ¼ 1843 Hitchen 6 314
Sarah Asbury
Dec ¼ 1892 Hitchin 3a 277
Joseph Asbury
June ¼ 1901 Hitchen 3a 203
I have the census details for the 1841, not the 1851, 1861, 1871, 1881, 1891 not the 1901 as both Joseph & Sarah had died by then. Joseph was shown as either Shoe maker or Cordwainer.
Joseph & Sarah had, in total, 10 children shown in the census.
If you would like the census info I can transcribe them for you & send them on.
Meliora
