Find Ancestors

Please can someone see if they can find Joseph Aston and his wife Amy Aston in Aston Birmingham on the 1911 census. I have only just started looking at this family so I do not have much to go on.

Amy was born in Aston Birmingham I thought in 1879 but it could be 1876. I think they had one son.

Sorry not much help I know.

Thanks for looking

Jane

Sorry I have to go to the Doctors will check in when I get back

Jane

Could this be what you are looking for........

Thank youPricklyHolly and Brummie46 so much for all your help Yes I think you have found them for me.

I didnt realise that the Amy born in 1876 died aged 1 so she cant be mine.

That will teach me for copying my Uncles research I got the name Amy from his records. I thought he had researched this family in great detail. Just goes to show that you need to confirm everything and not take anything fro granted.

Thank you so much

Jane

PricklyHolly

You are being really kind doing all this research for me. thank you so much. Brummie 46 I will go and have a look at freeBMD as you suggest. I had completely forgotton about that site. I think I need to switch my brain on.

Thanks a lot for your help

Jane

Confusing because Fanny obviously preferred the name Amy in the earlier census.

Happy reseaching..........Prickles. x

Thank you

Jane

Gladys Smith belonged to Fanny's sister Matilda who married Joseph Smith.

Jane

Matilda died in 1900 which would explain why Gladys was with her Grandfather.

Possibly Joseph in 1911
