Hi Folks

I thought I would add this to an old thread so that you kind people don't end up doing work that has already been done.

I have ordered that marriage certificate and have it in front of me but
no father is given for Elizabeth Barnes!!

John Asher and Elizabeth were married in Salford in January 1894

Their ages are listed she was 22 and John was 30

So I guess that would make her born in1871 unless she was born at the beginning of January

Help folks what do I do now?

Am not too sure about John either. His Dad was Henry Asher
I think I have the correct family for him

Any ideas would be greatfully received

Margaret

I think I may have found John in 1881 working on a farm in Middlesex.
It says place of birth Gloucester and he is working with another chap from Gloucester

George Warners farm George is 40

any way I am thinking perhaps I may be getting better at this !!

After looking at the 81 census I have to agree with what was said originally. You're going to have to buy that marriage certificate to find her father's name.

That could be the one Margaret.There wasn't a John Asher with her was there? As i said and you would have seen the daughter was born in Leeds so she did get around
