We all help here. Before I joined GR I had been able to do quite a lot using the free sites and the help of a friend who had access to various sites. So if you can afford it, I would definitely suggest that you get a sub to one of the sites which will allow you to find a lot of what you are looking for. The best free sites I found and which we all still use are FreeBMD and FamilySearch.

Until then, please ask if you need a look-up on a census etc. Maybe with the credits we help you to save, you can buy a sub and then you will move on to helping others aswell.

cherrs mike , I will check those to sites out. Its so interesting but can become expensive, so nice to no of a couple of free sites many thanks :-)

1911 census was from Ancestry - usually a pay site but has been free to search this weekend.

Also used freebmd and familysearch.org which are also free.

There are not many references to Z*c*r*a* Ashton. IF it is the same chap, then this baptism entry suggests the 1879 marriage was not his first marriage:

Mary Priscilla Ashton
baptd 5 May 1875 at Bradford, Christchurch
on 20 Jun 1875
parents Zechariah Ashton, Hannah Ashton

Dooh !

It helps if you give the right year.

1879 not 1979 !!



No Chapel on his birth on freebmd. Maybe it was added as his baptism

Births Dec 1849
ASHTON Zachariah - Wakefield 22 673

Is Zachariah still alive? 1979 is not that long ago. If you believe him to be deceased you could try and get a hopefully fairly accurate date of birth for him. If he is still alive, you might try posting on Living Relatives - assuming that he is a relative.

There are four Zacharia Ashton in Birth Records on GR, none of which could be yours.

And having looked at various entries I got to marriages and discovered your Zachariah married in 1879.

Easily done but now you need to edit your post for the correct year. :-D

And yes it does appear that Chapel is a middle name.
