Find Ancestors

i am looking for information about the parents of john walmsley,john was born in liverpool in 1842.he was living with his grandather john ashton in ormskirk lancs in 1851,he was still with his grandfather in ormskirk in 1861,he married a julia brannan in 1862 ,but i have no more info about who his parents were,can anybody help.

Could it be that his father was a Wolmsley and his mother an Ashton ?? Have you looked for a potential marriage?

Have you checked 1841 census for John Ashton to see if any daughters were with him?

No guarantee that this is the right one - but found it on FreeBMD:

Births Jun 1842 (>99%)
WALMSLEY John Liverpool 20 512

1841 - John and Margaret Ashton have a couple of children with them - including Martha - then aged 11. No guarantee that Martha is John's mother but it's a possibility.

Jill

No - silly me - Martha would have been far too young!! What am I thinking?

What is his father's name on the marriage cert and who were the witnesses?

Thanks everyone,help much appreciated.already have this info ,i need to do more research,and try to get marriage cert.

Hi Slinky, John Walmsley and Julia née Brannan were my wife's great grandmother's parents in law and we visited Ormskirk in the summer in order to visit their grave and others in the same cemetery. If you have any documentation that you could share with us it would be greatly appreciated and we may be able to assist you with our branch of the family.
