Looking for descendants of James ASQUITH, born Jan or Feb 1821, probably in Lancashire, and came to the United States in 1880 as a widower. The family lived in the Lincoln/Saylesville, Central Falls and Pawtucket areas.

(died 1918) Samuel, stayed in England (died 1948, probably in Accrinton, Lancs) There were also two children that I do not have names for yet. James (born 1821) had a brother named William who may have come to the US also, but at least had four sons who immigrated to the US before about 1900.
