[PiwigoPress id=822 lnktype='albumpicture' opntype='_self' size='me' url='https://familyhistoryjournal.com/gallery'] Headstone left - Albert Ashforth, Harry Renwick, Frank Renwick Headstone right - Harry, Emily and George Waller Last Sunday, during my visit to the Family and Local History Day at Bradfield, I chatted with a couple of representatives from Friends of Wardsend Cemetery. I was already aware of their forthcoming tour of Wardsend Cemetery and confirming this would probably be the final tour of the year, I promised myself to try and make time to attend. After a few days of rather poor weather I woke early Saturday to find a gloriously sunny morning....

...click here. Thanks to KW who contacted me and passed on a considerable amount of new information regarding the WILLIAMSON families; I can now clarify the details of the children in the photograph. Henry James WILLIAMSON 1894-1965 married twice, his first marriage was to Clara WILLIAMSON (née Clara ASHFORTH 1895-1932), his second to Jessie WILLIAMSON (née Jessie RENWICK 1908-1982), Clara's niece. The children in the photograph were born to Henry James WILLIAMSON 1894-1965 and Clara WILLIAMSON (née Clara ASHFORTH 1895-1932). Douglas Roy WILLIAMSON 1940-1963 was the third child of Henry James WILLIAMSON 1894-1965 and Jessie WILLIAMSON (née Jessie RENWICK 1908-1982)....

[PiwigoPress id=842 lnktype='albumpicture' opntype='_self' size='me' url='https://familyhistoryjournal.com/gallery'] Eleanor 'Ellen' Ashforth (née Ellen Tomlinson 1855-1943) I received today from Sheffield Register Office the Death Certificate for my gg grandmother Eleanor (Ellen) ASHFORTH (née Ellen TOMLINSON 1855-1943). Eleanor died on the 10th July 1943 at 41 Burton Street, Sheffield. It records Eleanor as the widow of William Henry ASHFORTH 1873-1926 and the signature of the informant as J. Renwich (this should actually be J. Renwick). Jessie RENWICK (née Jessie ASHFORTH 1908-1982) is one of Eleanor's children. To view my transcription of her Death Certificate please click here....

...SH (name withheld for privacy) and Ronald Neil JACKLIN are 3rd cousins. Their common ancestors are William Henry ASHFORTH 1851-1899 and Ellen ASHFORTH (née Ellen TOMLINSON 1855-1943) LE (name withheld for privacy) and Ronald Neil JACKLIN are 3rd cousins. Their common ancestors are William Henry ASHFORTH 1851-1899 and Ellen ASHFORTH (née Ellen TOMLINSON 1855-1943) I have replied to the given email addresses and hopefully this will lead to further discoveries for the ASHFORTH and RENWICK lines. Updates: 2009-01-03 Further research shows Ellen ASHFORTH's maiden name to be TOMLINSON not PASLEY. I have amended this article to reflect this new research....

[PiwigoPress id=855 lnktype='albumpicture' opntype='_self' size='me' url='https://familyhistoryjournal.com/gallery'] Wycliffe 11 FC 1908-9 The caption on the reverse of this photograph reads: [PiwigoPress id=856 lnktype='albumpicture' opntype='_self' size='2s' url='https://familyhistoryjournal.com/gallery'] "Dear brother just a few lines to you..." illegible... "present..." illegible... "from your sister Jessie and Harry." This is almost certainly a photograph sent by Jessie ASHFORTH 1887-1954 to her brother (my great grandfather) William Henry ASHFORTH 1873-1926. Harry is almost certainly Harry RENWICK 1885-1959, Jessie's husband. Jessie and Harry were married at Sheffield during June 1908. The photograph is dated 1908-9, so I suspect they were already married when this card was sent, and...

Ellen Ashforth (née Ellen Tomlinson 1855-1943): A brick wall

Published: January 24, 2010    Last modified: January 12, 2017

...carried out some rudimentary research documented in this article, this seemed to indicate her father's name would be William TOMLINSON. When I received her marriage certificate I was surprised, as expressed in this article, to see that her father's name was Samuel TOMLINSON 1826-1854. At the time I didn't give this too much thought since my paternal grandmother's marriage certificate gives her father's name as George DIXON when quite clearly it was Samuel DIXON. It was only when, in 2009, I was contacted by KW in response to this article regarding Clara ASHFORTH 1895-1932 and Jessie RENWICK 1908-1982 that I...

...being celebrated. Mother is the toddler on the front row dressed all in white and looking a little mesmerised. This photograph is most likely circa 1928. Given time I'm hoping she will be able to identify some more of the children shown in this photograph and maybe even remember the names of the bride and groom. Updates: 2007-08-02 I was contacted by some relatives who provided invaluable information regarding this photograph.
