Hi
There is also a marriage of a William Ashton to Ellen Carr at St Michael's Church, Mottram in Longendale in 1843.

There are 4 marriages at St Michael's Ashton Under Lyne

Jenny Ashworth 1848
Catharine Bardsley 1851
Emma Grantham 1851
Sarah Wood 1851

I can check the records for these this week if you want.

1841 where he is also a Painter (like Amy Ashtons death cert). They were living seperately, he in Macclesfield, Stockport, about 12kms away for Cheadle. Strangely he was living with 15 yr old Elizabeth Wilson & his apprentice John Beswick who's age I cannot read.

Just to chip in....
Ref the above at H107 113 6, the address is given as Wellington Road South! The main A6 out of Manchester passing through Stockport it is known as Wellington Road North, when it gets to the area of Stockport Town Hall / and where Stockport Infirmary and Greek Street was, it becomes South, so William ASHTON as above was living in the area!
He is in the household with a John BESWICK app painter age? and Elizabeth WILSON 15 FS, Female Servant or Domestic! Neither was born in the county ( Cheshire )

Living at H107 113 13 in the household with widow O'KELL and child was Amy ASHTON a cotton power loom woprker, and and baby 'Sampson' The address is given as Larkhill, This is approx 1.5 miles frOm where William is!and off Brinksway. Amy dies at Wellingotn Road so she was likely to have been in the old Infirmary, the hospital was relocated some 10 years ago!
If you use maps.google.co.uk, type in the place name you will see them,.

Wow, what great news!!! Thanks so much for everyone who has been helping!

I Have found the Electoral Rolls of Cheshire and William Ashton recorded living at Wellington Road South #'s 96, 98 & 100 between 1843 till 1857. Assuming he died after that I found a Burial Record from Stockport Municipal Cemetery where he was buried 3 July 1858 and its estimated from his age that he was born in 1809. His Will confirms William, the painter, left his Estate to Ann, Samuel & Eliza Ann (of 3000 Pounds - proved 13 Aug 1858).

William Ashton Baptism/Christening on 26 Oct 1809 at High Street Presbyterian, Stockport, Born 03 Sep 1809; Father's Name: Samuel Ashton Mother's Name: Sally Booth.

In 1861 Census Ann Ashton born in Proprietess of Houses & Landed Property. She is living with their kids: Samuel (12) & Eliza Ann (10), her father Thomas Johnshon (80), sister Harriet Blackwell (55) & Ann Hearsley (servant).

In 1871 Census Ann Ashton born in Marton, Cheshire abt 1815. Living with her son Samuel Ashton (22), sister Harriet (66) also Marton, Cheshire, Fanny Haken (28) (servant).

Update: Found children baptised to William Ashton & Amey Beswick at Orchard Street/ Churchgate Independent, Stockport:
1)George bapt 18 Nov 1832,
2)George born 14 May & bapt 10 Aug 1834,
3)Sarah Ann born 14 Feb & bapt 20 Mar 1836.

I'm interested in finding his 1st wife Amy's marriage and their birth records if possible... can't seem to find anywhere

Do you have the plot & grave number, if the weather becomes drier may venture over there! ( 2.5 miles)

William Ashton Baptism/Christening Date: 26 Oct 1809 Baptism/Christening Place: High Street Presbyterian, Stockport, Birth Date: 03 Sep 1809 Father's Name: Samuel Ashton Mother's Name: Sally Booth

Think the Chapel is still there albeit derelict!

[quote born in Bromickgs of Houses & Landed Property]

this is under Vocation so I think it maybe Proprietoress of Houses & landed Proprty. Did William ASHTON leave a will?

Hi "elzabels'
Thanks for the research you've done, you are very right about all the bits and pieces I've ordered William Ashton the painters will.

Proprietess... looks more like proprietejs! ha ha! But I can see you are right.

Would be fantastic if you could take a picture of the gravestone!

How does one find cemetery records online other than "findagrave.com"? In Christchurch our libraries have online records, many others are online too, which is very handy for research. Our Parish BDM's are also online which makes it very easy to order certificates and find more info about ancestors.

I think I may have found a possible solution for Amy Ann Ashton, mother of Sampson
Amy Ann Ashton married John Wild 17 June 1849 at Manchester Cathedral.
John Wild? wasn't he a witness at Sampson's marriage?
You will find the marriage details on Family Search Records and Lancs BMD. I can't see a father's name for Amy so it would mean buying the cert or perhaps if you place a request on the Lancashire board someone would look it up for you.

Take a look at the 1851 census HO107 Piece 2156 Folio 86 Page 8.
There you will find Amy b1809, power loom weaver living with husband John, his mother and sister at Bow Garretts which is very close to Larkhill where she was living on the 1841 census.Amy gives her place of birth as Eyam, Derbyshire.
You can follow her through to the 1881 census still living in the same area

Have Fun,
Pat
