origin of family name from a place, either of local origin or towns/villages of that name
Seeking parents of Mary Ann ASHFORD born c1796 who married gunmaker Joseph Alexander SANDERS on 5.12.1814, at Edgbaston, St Bartholomew. Her mother or sister named Elizabeth ASHFORD - a marriage witness. I am seeking related ASHFORDs in the Edgbaston area. Several generations known.
If Elizabeth ASHFORD, above, is her mother, her parents could be Thomas & Elizabeth below. The reason for not finding their marriage in Birmingham could be explained by the following story provided by Pat KLEMM in Melbourne, Australia: A Thomas ASHFORD n. 21.3.1762 = Elizabeth NANCE (widow) in 1.1785, both of St. Martins, a tiny island in the Scilly group. There are two known children: Phillis ASHFORD (1786) & Thomas ASHFORD (n. 7.11.1787), from whom the KLEMMs are descended. The Ashford Family Tree was compiled by William ROWETT, Chaplin of the Isle of Scilly in 1971, in which no deaths for the family are found. It is possible the couple and their children moved to Birmingham after 1787, and Mary Ann & possibly other children were born there. To support this, possible C19th Birmingham marriages of Phillis (from c1804) & Thomas (from c1805) are sought. Interestingly, a GG aunt of the KLEMMs, Catharine ASHFORD, stocking knitter, moved to Birmingham in the 1860's (m. Samuel JONES), perhaps because some ASHFORD relatives were already there. Further links between the Isles of Scilly & Birmingham ASHFORD families will be sought if this link proves valid.
