Thanks Francis, that could be where the name of the pub came from. Maybe in those days (early 1800's) the pub would be little more than a terraced house with ale being served through the front window, who knows.

Marlene. I suppose you have already looked on the free bmd website. There are 35 Aspinall deaths for the Doncaster area from 1837 to 1900! Anyway, are any of the following 'yours':
[/b]June 1839  John  22 57

[b]Dec 1847  Ann  22 58
Mary Ann  22 58

June 1867  Ann 84 yrs  9c 319

June 1890  Mary Ann  57 yrs  9c 471

I suspect that the John Aspinall could be my 4x great grandfather because I think he was born abt.1780. He married Ann DODSON/DODGSON who died in 1867 in Doncaster.
John & Ann Aspinall had children George born 1801, Mary born 1802 died 1803, John born 1804, James born 1806, William born 1808 and Godfrey born 1810.
The children were all born in Doncaster but, I don't know where the parents John & Ann were born.

Marlene
P.S. Just had another look at my info. John ASPINALL died in Doncaster 30.04.1839
His wife Ann ASPINALL died 21.04.1867 So I'm looking for their burial places please.
Incidentally, John & Ann Aspinall were married in Arksey 14.04.1800

Marlene. The death dates will help. Thanks.

Marlene. I have contacted Rosehill but they do not have records as far back as 1839 and 1867. However they believe that the Father at Arksey church may have them. Ring 01302 875266 if you want to ask him. Remember though that I am only suggesting Arksey as a starter, due to the fact that John and Ann Aspinall married there. Let me know how you get on, please!!

Heather

Thanks very much for going to so much trouble, I'll give them a call.

Regards,
Marlene

Marlene. Have you contacted the Father at Arksey yet? I'm dying to know if you have, and how you got on. Arksey isn't far from me.

Heather

Up-date, I've found out from another Aspinall researcher that John Aspinall is interred in St.George's Parish Church (after all that!).
"Aspinall John publican 3rd.May 1839 aged 61 (Marshgate died 30 April)."
My quest is now to found out where John Aspinall was from originally as Aspinall doesn't appear to be a Yorkshire name.

Many thanks for all your help as I know nothing of Doncaster area.

Marlene

Marlene. Is he interred inside St Georges Parish Church itself, or in the grounds? Also. what about Ann?

Heather

Hi Heather,
St.George's Parish Church Graveyard (apparently).
His wife Ann Aspinall is in Hyde Park cemetery.
Regards,
Marlene

Marlene. I will try to find out where St George's graveyard is, if you would like me to. I know where Hyde Park cemetery is. I will check at the fhs for the whereabouts of the MI's.

With regard to their son John born 1806 in the Doncaster Area, what is it about his birth that you want to trace?

St George's is now known as Doncaster Minster, for some reason or other.

Heather

Hi Heather,
It's the John Aspinall senior who died in 1839 the one in St.George's Graveyard (the publican of the Dusty Miller) I'm trying to find out about, I'm trying to establish where he  came from to be in Doncaster, I'm unable to find his parents.
He was born about 1778 but, I don't know where.
His son, my 3x great grandfather born 1806 was in Shefield working as a Hairdresser when his crimes (stealing clothing) resulted in him being transported to Australia in 1834 and I have managed to find out about his life there from his descendants in Oz.
My goal now is to find John Aspinall's (born 1778) parentage.

Marlene

I have not checked back for a while .. I see my area here has realy taken off ... but alas it is not about Stephenson .. LOL ... but that is alright.
My Henry Stephenson ... a farmer of Branton in Cantley parish died Dec 22 1882 ... and I believe the burial records for Cantley confirm this. He married a Mary Ann Hill at Doncaster in 1840. I have a marriage entry for his parents of a William Stevenson (Stephenson) and an Alice Carter who married at Cantley in 1811. My search for Henry in the old census's finds him at Doncaster in 1841 ... Hatfield in 1851 ... and then at Branton in Cantley 1861 .. through too 1881. In 1861, I find him working as a farm hand for his Uncle William Carter ... this same Uncle having passed away by the 1871 census ... so Henry now has his farm. Henry had 3 (possibly 4) daughters and one son ... Thomas ... but alas I believe son Thomas died at the South Yorkshire Asylum in 1913 ... so that would have ended that line of Stephensons.
I live near London in Ontario Canada

Hi Ken,
Sorry about hijacking your initial post, I really must apologise.
I hope that someone with Doncaster connections  can assist you in your search

Regards,
Marlene

Ken. I have just read your message. I live close to all the villages you mention so will see if I can find the MI's. I am due to go to the local fhs for myself and Marlene but can't say exactly when. I will let you know when I have anything.

Bye for now, Heather.
