Biography
Born: Not found a baptism so far, though there are several baptisms for children of George Vost from 1667 to 1672 at Prestwich. This is certainly a possibility for parentage. This is not a common surname so it may possible to trace origins without a specific baptism. Assumptions are that Beatrice was a similar age to her husband and was born in Lancashire.
Marriage: 12 May 1708. All Saints, Wigan, Lancashire, England.
- Husband - Matthew Astley
- Wife - Beatrix Vost
Information comes from the marriage bond so the date might be of the bond rather than the date of marriage but likely to be within days or weeks. Similarly, without an actual marriage record, it can't be said where the marriage took place but the bond states that it should take place at the parish church at Wigan. Matthew Astley is a weaver of Hindley, Lancashire and Beatrix Vost is of Blackrod, Bolton, Lancashire. Bondsman is Jacob/James Finch of the parish of WIgan. [1]
Buried:
23 May 1755.
St Mary the Virgin, Prestwich, Lancashire, England.
Beatrice Astley, - widow. [2]
