To start the ball rolling with my 3x great grandfather was Francis ASBURY. He was baptised 22 Apr 1787 at Walton on Trent. His father was Richard but I don't have his mother's name, nor his marriage to an Ann of Rosliston who was baptised around 1785. There is a marriage on FamilySearch of a Francis ASBURY of Walton on Trent who married Ann HOLDEN on 21 Oct 1811 at Walton on Trent which fits with the birth of their first child, Hannah in 1813. But was Ann HOLDEN from Rosliston or was that another Ann? -- Charani (UK) OPC for Walton, Ashcott, Shapwick, Greinton and Clutton, SOM http://wsom-opc.org.uk
Hi Charani, According to my research, Francis and Ann ASBURY's first child was not Hannah, but John bapt. 23 Feb 1812 at Walton-on-Trent. They went on to have a total of nine children. Ann died at Boro Hill, Walton-on-Trent and was buried at Walton on 24 October 1874, aged 90. This suggests that she was the Ann HOLDEN baptised 22 Aug 1784 at Rosliston, daughter of Christopher and Hannah HOLDEN. Francis ASBURY was, I believe, the son of Richard ASBURY (c1757-1821) and Rebecca/Rebekah PEACE (1756-1851), who were married at Croxall on 2 September 1782. Rebecca was possibly baptised on 15 Nov 1756 at Burton-upon-Trent, daughter of Francis and Elizabeth PEACE. If you want more about these families, please contact me privately, as I have details of several generations, and would be keen to add your line to the mix.
