I have conflicting parents for Alice Ashton, the names I have being Peter Ashton and Mary Rigby. I have a few baptism records linking Alice and Peter and marriage records to link Mary and Peter. Though as I am a beginner I am not sure how to judge the validity of my records entirely. I also struggle to read what records I can access. I would be interested to hear if you are confident of these parents or if the names I have found may be her true parents. Look forward to your response, Alice
I find biographies before census records are tricky, and I suspect speculative. The rule I try to apply is to have two records corroborating each other. More tentative is family origins in close geographical proximity. Alice is probably my wife’s 5x grandmother; many of her ancestors were from the Prescot area of Huyton, near Liverpool. To find out more details I think we’d need to look at such things as tithe records. Let me know if I can be of more help, and good luck with your searches.
Ah interesting, I think Alice is my 7th great grandmother, which would make me something like your wife's great niece. I am based in the Liverpool area so we're still going strong! Good luck to you as well!
