I think William was born around 1900 but does anyone have any idea where he is on a census as there are so many William Ashtons. He was married in Plymouth

I presume you do not have the 1921 marriage cert to confirm his age and the name & occupation of his father then

Should the name of Alexandra be Alexandra I and not J

Not yet found a birth for Alexandra J or a death which is why I looked at that other marriage in 1921


Need some feedback if the poster has the marriage cert

The Aishton/Feeney marriage is a typed entry 5b 835 Devonport which is the likely area for marriage as this is where they were both living in 1911

The Ashton William E to Alexandra J is a handwritten entry and the "J" could well be an "I". Plymouth 5B 834a (the expected page range for Plymouth is 535 to 728).
?? Has a mistake been made when the handwritten entry was made for " William E Ashton"

There is a Aishton/Feeney birth in 1922 and Ashton/Feeney births from 1925, all in same area.

Looks like the same couple to me.

Andy

There is a 1922 birth to Aishton/Feeney Devonport

There are 5 births Ashton/Feeney Devonport - 1925, 1927, 1929, 1935,1937

EDIT - and a further 2 in 1941 and 1944 Plymouth (Devonport lost as an RD and Plymouth the RD from 1938)

it must be alexandra Idina ashton no birth with a j

Okay so are we looking for William E or Ernest?



Stephen,
Do you have any certs at all to help with this.
GB

Her name is Alexandra I Feeney. The J must have been a mistake as she was apparently know as Idina. I don't have any certificates at this point. I also found Ernest but from what I've been told we feel that the William is the correct husband. So we are looking for William E. That Baptism transcript is great as that fits in with some other information I've found about Alexandra. I'm still new at finding information so thanks to everyone for all of your help.

When and where do you think that William E died ?

Because at the moment the research given shows she probably married Ernest
