trying to find infromation on my great aunt ruth
but for some reason i can not find her records
her mother was flarance mabley ashby and father james henry langley they married in 1904
they had 4 surving children winfried narah langley dob 1906
delia dob 1912
reg 1910
but ruth i am not sure of
but i am now wondering if florance sister may have been the mother
she was in to the bible
the ashbys come from kimbolton in huntingdon cambriddgeshire and i know it was quite a big family
florance went in to the services as a servent in sohoin 1886 she would have been 16yrs old
i have know idea what ever happened to mary but if i can not find any other expenation on why i can not find any birth marriage or death record for her
so could any body help me please
what i do know about ruth is that she was the double of my granmother winfred narah langley
ruth was an arist and wrote poetry and she had been married 2 times once to a barnard and once to a clarke i belive she may have signed her art work under barnard she lived in leamington spa and had a 13 bedroom house
but i was too young to remeber where
her daughter diane had been married to a forniuer she had 2 children one girl one boy
names can not remeber
but the daughter would be in her early 40s 50s by now

Hi Nanny!! Welcome to the forum!

I've had a (very) quick search for your great aunt and, alas, I am having very little luck at the moment as well. I have found Florence on the 1881 census:

Amis ASHBY -45years born Ellington, Northampton (father) worked as a 'whitesmith journeyman' (whatever that is!!)
Emma ASHBY -44years born Alfreton, Derbyshire (mother)
Francis ASHBY - 14years born Kimbolton, Huntingdon
Benjamin ASHBY -13years born Kimbolton, Huntingdon
Charles ASHBY -9years born Oundle, Northampton
Kate ASHBY -8years born Oundle, Northampton
Nelly ASHBY -6years born Oundle, Northampton
Ernest ASHBY -3years born Oundle, Northampton
Joseph ASHBY -1year born Oundle, Northampton

They were living in a place called Hills Yard in Oundle at the time of the census.

I live quite close to Huntingdon so give me a few weeks and I'll try to get to my local library and have a look at the parish registers for you. I'm sure that I'll be able to find something.

PS Do you know where James came from originally? Was he from Huntingdon or from Oundle? It would help narrow down the search a bit!!

TTFN
