Find Ancestors

Well thats me buying certificates this week then, Thanks for your kind help, much appreciated, Lee

The marriage to Thomas Aspey, if order to find out if she was widow or a spinster,you have to buy the cert. It's possible that she was married before, otherwise wouldn't the lodger Edxward Howe be down as brother-in-law (if related that is)? But I couldn't find it, too complicated a search. The marriage cert of Anthony Snr should tell you his father's name, if known and that should give you a hint of his birth circumstances.

Chloe Could I just ask, Anthony Snr,s mothers marriage to thomas Aspey, did she marry again then? Sorry for sounding slightly not with it, but slightly confused now, lol thanks Lee

No problem, good luck.

Thanks so much Chloe, this gives me a great start, Lee

Chloe, yes the Anthony is definitly Freda,s brother, there were 3 of them, but not sure if theres a sister somewhere too, although I have no definates on her. Lee

LOL, no problem Lee. Just trying to track Anthony down some more. You'll probably need to buy the birth certs and marriage certs to clarify all of this. Can't find Mabel Bonson on 1901 though.
