Rosa Ashforth 1874 - Birth Certificate
Article
At long last I seem to have found a maiden surname for the spouse of William Henry ASHFORTH 1851-1899. I have received from Sheffield Register Office the birth certificate for Rosa ASHFORTH 1874-
My notes show I have a baptism record for Rosa ASHFORTH 1874-:
Baptised December 5, 1888, by AH Rhodes at St John the Baptist Church, Owlerton.
Parents name(s) are Helena & William (File-cutter).
Rosa ASHFORTH 1874- is recorded as an adult. It would appear both William Henry ASHFORTH 1873-1926 and Rosa ASHFORTH 1874- were born before their parents were married.
This probably explains why Rosa was nearly 15 years of age when she was baptised.
My notes show a marriage in 1876 for William Henry ASHFORTH 1851-1899 and Ellen TOMLINSON 1855-1943. I will submit a request to Sheffield Register Office for this marriage certificate.
