I wonder if any fellow listers can help with a puzzle? I am interested in the Ashelby family of Manchester. I know the father of the family was William Ashelby, and I have the marriage certificates of several children 1840 Eliza Ashelby (address given as 68 Bloom Street) 1849 Ann Ashelby (address given as Oldham Road) 1849 Jane Ashelby (address given as 30 Hart Street) 1853 Margaret Ashelby (address given as 30 Hart Street) I'm assuming that at least some of these addresses would also have applied to William Ashelby. He wasn't listed as deceased on any of the certificates, yet I can't find him on any of the censuses under Ashelby. I've also looked as Ashley and Ashby and even Axelby. Does anyone have any suggestions as to other spelling variants or can help to locate the family? There was also a daughter Mary and possibly a son David. Thanks to Mavis for looking on the 1851 water damaged census index. Any help from the census or other sources would be much appreciated. Thanks very much. Rob
