Thanks to everyone who has posted helping with my enquiry regarding an elusive ancestor William Ashelby (or Eshelby) I wonder if anyone with access to pre-1840 directories of Manchester could have a look for me to see if he was listed? Variously described as labourer, pattern looker, sawyer and footman. Many thanks again Rob

Hi Rob, I checked the 1846 Slaters,1834 Pigots,and the 1822 Pigot Directories and there is no mention of the names Ashelby or Eshelby in any of the listings.
