ASHCROFT, Charles William Boarder Single M 24 1887 Assistant School Master Lancashire Golborne

I have been unable to locate the birth cert on the BMD, but the above from Rose looks promising, thanks for all your help.

If you get the birth cert, we can search for deaths for a Mary Edith with her birthdate.

Could be this one because her father was Charles:

Births Sep 1916
Ashcroft Mary E Nash-Brown Bedale 9d 1187

Marriages Dec 1912
ASHCROFT Charles W Nash-Brown Leigh 8c 405
ASHCROFT Edith J Gregson Leigh 8c 405
Gregson William H Ashcroft Leigh 8c 405
Nash-Brown Irene T Ashcroft Leigh 8c 405

Looks to be a double wedding with his sister Edith, same as Mary's middle name.

As advised I have the Marriage cert: Mary Edith Ashcroft was aged 23 when marrying in Sept 1939. She was a School Mistress. Her father was Charles Ashcroft also a school master living at Grassendale, Liverpool 18'
This suggests she was born in 1916 possibly in Liverpool

any help would be appreciated

Has anyone told you about this Jonathan?.....................

Mary Ashcroft born 1915 left Southampton 1959 for New York.

If she was born in the Channel isles its highly unlikely you will find

that information online.

I still think this belongs on Find Living Relatives.

I have assumed she was 22 years old when married, The family rumour was that her family came from Jersey, Apparently she ran off with another chap!!!! she was in the land army it is said.

It's a (surprisingly) common name!

Jonathan, take Patchem's advice - get the marriage certificate and then come back to us!

Jonathan has Mary Ashcroft born 1918 in his tree.
Unfortunately no Mary E Ashcroft showing for that year in free bmd.
Marriage certificate for name of Father is needed, etc.

Peter - she IS an ancestor and may no longer be alive.

According to several totally unsourced trees on Ancestry, Mary Edith was born 1918 and died 1965 - no exact dates or locations given. Some say she died Cheshire, some say Birkenhead.
