I am trying to find any details on Alfred Ashman and his wife Ellen ( nee Gilson ) who emigrated I think to Allegheny Pennsylvania in the mid 1880's Also Ellen brother Richard who I believe went to Alleghany about 1893 to see Ellen who was then a widow. I don't know if Richard or Ellen stayed in USA. Both were born in Holcombe Somerset, Ellen in 1861 and Richard in 1868
Any help would be so much appreciated
