Thank you Antony,

With all the talk around names, and the possible misspelling of names, you'd
think I would have thought of ASHWORTH instead of ASHFORTH but I didnt!
thank you. This most certainly is the family and the Margaret D mentioned
was my grandmother I don't remember. She went blind from diabetes and died
when I was about 2 years old. I'm told that I used to fluff up her pillows
for her - at 2 years old I was a good girl!

Now I need to know if I've mixed up a few families, because I also have a
LUCY ASHFORTH born 1882, who would have been 9 years old in the 1891 census,
but I do note that they were counted with the grandparents - HOLMES, so I
suppose some of them could have stayed at home! I also have a FRED ASHFORTH
born 1886 making him 5years in the 1891 census.
Then I have four other names, born post 1891, but it is possible that two of
them are the same as previous. e.g. OLIVE ASHFORTH may be the same as
GERTRUDE O. and CHARLES WILLIAM D. is most probably the same as DOUGLAS.

It begins to sound as complicated as the Zulu culture here in South Africa,
where most of the Zulu people have both a Zulu name and an English name
(thankfully for pronunciation's sake!) but also change their first name when
they marry ...? And various other name variants which play havoc in a
personnel department, unless you have the Identity Document - which I hear
the English are trying to avoid!

Thanks though!

Rose
