Hi MargP thank you :)

I've managed to get laptop power for a bit. Thanks Josey, I didn't realise that.

Hi

It looks like Sophia Emigrated to Canada


Ontario Canada Marriages 1801-1928
 Sophia Ashton
Birth Place Birmingham, England
Age: 19
 Father  Albert Ashton
Mother Amy Davis
Spouse  Frederich House
 Age: 23
Spouse Birth Place Hamilton Ont
 Father Name: George Frederich House
 Mother Name: Lousia Burkholder
Marriage Date 5 Apr 1924
Marriage County or District: Wentworth

Margp
 
 


If Sophia married in Canada I wondered if the family moved there before and left sophia in b'ham until they were settled as i've heard of that sort of thing before. I've just done a quick search on ancestory of Albert Ashton b.1867 (i've searched and searched dates, this seems to re-occur so using that as a main date to work around) on the 1911 census for Canada and there is one birth date 1864 living in Ontario South but I can't view it as I don't have the world wide account. No luck with Amy though. So i'm not too sure.

I've searched birth/death etc but Albert Ashton is a popular name. On family search there were baptism records in Birmingham possible parents names Thomas Ashton & Mary or Joseph Ashton & Jemima but in census's so far i'm having trouble tracking them. Thomas Ashton can be found in the 1881 census with Albert in Birmingham but i'm not sure if they are even his parents.

Hi

Sophia returned to England in 1956, the address given where she was staying was 159 Hurlington Rd Birmingham, is this address familiar to you.

Margp
Hurlington road doesn't but there is a burlington road in birmimgham small heath/yardley area.

Thanks again to everyone!
