Hi,

I'm searching for the spouse of Precilla Ashness, she was born in c1857 in Macclesfield Cheshire, her married name is Precilla Beggs but I cannot find a marrige for her, she had a son Joseph Henry Beggs in 1878, but no clue to the name of his father.

Thanks

Hi Pauline1!

As you say, interesting why Thomas and his wife are living sep. on 1881 cencus!

Here's Priscilla and Thomas H in 1881.

15 George Street, Macclesfield
Priscilla - 24 - Silk Weaver
Joseph H - 2

Ref: RG11 3491 63 2

They are living with her parent's George & Sarah Ashness and 6 of her siblings. If you want these details I will let you have them. I don't know how to copy them over!

**Rubina** · 03-12-2010 09:41 PM

In case you don't have it:

1901 Ref RG13 3309 145 21
Living 3 Union Road, Macclesfield

Priscilla Beggs - 44 - Widow - Silk weaver - working from home
Joseph H Beggs - 22 - Single - Postman Civil

So, husband and Father,Thomas Beggs, died between 1891 and 1901.

Interesting footnote : Next door to them (#5) was one Thomas Dunning whose occupation was "Conjurer & Ventriquiloqist"!!

Hi Rubina, thanks for your replies. I have already attached the 1881 census to Priscilla and her parents.
