Ashton: 1841 Census
Ashton: 1841 Census
Listed in the extended entry are Ashton families within the Trefeglwys and Llanidloes area. I am not sure if these people have any relationship with my family.
There is also a Thomas ASHTON listed, but I don't know where LGG is?
This Thomas Ashton is a strong suspect, as the age is about right. I have no idea where LGG is though.

No relationship recorded for people living in the house, which is frustrating:

No occupations for these. Why?

I doubt if these Ashtons are closely related to my ancestors, but the irony is they were living at 1 Cerist. My great grandmother's brother lived at Cerist:

I suspect that this Thomas Ashton might be mine, although the wrong place of birth. Meant to be Trefeglwys!
