Forwarding for Larry Best who I see is not currently subscribed to the list with the email address ldbest@persona.ca Julie Preston juliefpreston@sbcglobal.net ----- Original Message ----- From: Larry Best To: POWYS-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Friday, February 29, 2008 1:23 AM Subject: Charles Ashton Re:: ASHTON OF CARNO OR TEFEGLWYS I am very interested in KEVIN EDWARDS comments about our common bond of Charles Ashton. I see him struggling to confirm our Charles Evans..1st wife that is my Grt Grt Grandma. My Ann Evans is definately sister ot 1/2 sister to his... as shown on the 1861/1871 census...She live as a widow with Daniel and Elizabeth Davis in 1861 and Ann's daughter Mary then Lewis lived with them in 1871 as a widow. I already had my Ann Ashton daughter of Charles Ashton who was born 3 April 1791 Trefeglwys to be Ann Rees...he married her 17 May 1817 Trefeglwys. I was sent by family who researched it carefully and had dates and marriage ceriticates etc. to prove it. I wish I could remember my source but my old computer crashed taking with it that source information.. Knowing where the Charles Ashton lived through the years may help.. 1841 census had him living @ Glennafin-ucha Trefeglwys.. This a a definate.. Daniel and Elizabeth Davies are on it. 1841 Census Parish of Trefeglwys Dwelling Place Gribinfach { I have no idea where this is] Charles Ashotn Head male married 44 carpenter Y Tef Eliabeth Ashton female carpenters wife 16 Y Tef Thomas Ashton male...son 13 Jane Ashton female born 1831 To my knowledge this is the same family as the following and Elizabeth Davies is this wife. 1851 Census Parish Of Trefeglwys 1851 Census Parish Of Trefeglwys Dwelling Place Glennafin-ucha Dwelling Place :Trysan Charles Ashton Head male 54 Trefeglwys Carpenter Richard Evans head Male 33 Farmer 33 Trefeglwys 33 acres Elizabeth Ashton wife female 36 Trefeglwys Ann Ashton wife female 34 Carno Charles Ashton son. 2 Trefeglwys Mary Evans daughter 8 Trefeglwys scholar Daniel Ashton son-in-law 27 Trefeglwys ag labourer Richard Evans son 6 Trefelwys [this is my Gt Grandpa] Elizabeth Ashton married[ daughter ] 26 Carno. Charles Evans son 3 Trefeglwys Annie Evans daughter 1 Trefeglwys NOTE: I had the information that shows this is the right Evans family for myself..as Richard Charles Evans story was written up years ago for us. NOTE: THE MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE of RICHARD EVANS AND ANN ASHTON on 12 February 1842 @ Church of Llandinam..states her father was Charles Ashton ; carpenter and Evan Evans was a farmer. NOTE: Ann Evans Birth Certificate it states that Ann Ashton is the mother and that Richard Evans was a weaver @ Trysarn Trefeglwys . MARIAGE BANNS BETWEEN DANIEL DAVIES AND ELIZABETH ASHTON states that Charles Ashton was her father...he lived at Glen-uchaf and was a carpenter. 1861 census shows that Kevin's Elizabeth and my Ann are family as Ann is listed as Daniel Davies widowed sister-in-law living with them..and in 1971 Ann Evans Daughter Mary Lewis is a widow and living with the daniel Davies listed as a widowed niece. Cher'rie -D Evans is my cousin from the USA and until I rea this article of Kevin;s search I was not aware that Ann Ashton was born in Penrhyddian Carno. I know she has purchased the birthcerificates/ marriage certifiactes of family.. Does Trefeglwys not border Carno to the south-west? And did peope not migrate back and forth between areas in Wales where the work was? Is it not true that the first baby was oftern born in the Mother's parents home in those days as I was told whole researching another Welsh branch? In fact I found hat person who married into the Evans family...born in Llanbrynmair yet lived all her life in Carno..All the rest of her siblings were born in Carno. Richard Evans is the son of Evan Evans of Trefeglways and he was a farmer with 33 acres...if that will help. I would like very much to hear from Kevin and other in these families and compare what we have gathered up today ldbest@persona.ca Thank you ..
