Joseph ASBURY - Whitwell
« on: Tuesday 19 August 08 12:06 BST (UK) »
I've managed to trace my family back to Joseph Asbury(born c1816 in Whitwell) but I've can't seem to get back any further.

Has anyone ever come across this person in their research?  Apparently he married an Ann Aldridge in 1838 and had the following children:

Rose born c1834
William born c1839 (my ggg grandfather)
Sarah born c1843

I also think that he married for a 2nd time to a Sarah Willingham and had several children with her.

Can anyone help?

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
