Subject: ASHURST, GIBBONS, WILLIAMSON- ring any bells???

Hi
Just to re-introduce myself (I've been off list for a while due to work commitments).

My grandfather was Thomas ASHURST (born 1927 in Chester Moor, died in Germany in WWII). His parents (my GG Grandparents) were Oliver ASHURST (born 1860 West Mill, Auckland) and Ellen GIBBONS (born 1865, Crossgate, Durham).
Olivers parents are shown as Joseph ASHURST (born 1834 in Latchford, Ches) and Eleanor WILLIAMSON (born c1836 in North Bedburn). Ellen's parents were John GIBBONS (born 1847 in Ireland) and Maria LENNARD/LEONARD (born c 1848 in Sunderland).
I have found all of the above on the 1881 census - but would love to hear from anyone that may have other info on any of these families as the only information that I have so far got is from the 1881 census and the few birth/marriage certificates that I have managed to find.

Regards
Terry
