I am trying to trace a line of Ashbys in the old borough of Hackney London the earliest known one is an Alice Ashby who died in 1802. I know there are quite a few later ones but i need to trace back Alice Ashby as she seems the very earliest Ashby i can trace. Can anyone help, there were some children born to my ancestor Charles Ashby and his wife Anne Wells but they did not survive, they were:
Sophia Ashby
Sophia ann Ashby
Francis Jukes Ashby
only Edward Ashby born around 1782 survived
i need to trace this Ashby line as far back as i can but have reached a brick wall with Alice Ashby who died in 1802 burial record with St Johns church Hackney.
