Dear Barbara 

I saw your name on the internet and thought I would drop you a line.

My name used to be Ann Shackleton. My dad is Peter Shackleton and my grandma was Florence Augusta Morphew.

My grandma always claimed we were related to Anne Askew and I remember as a child being brought to Habrough to visit her Aiscough relatives.

I have recently started a course to become an official City of London guide and Anne Askew has come up - there is a plaque with her name on in the Guildhall - so I thought I would try to see if my grandma was right.

I would really appreciate any information or contact details for anyone else in the family.

Many thanks

Ann Ward

Dear Ms Ainscough,

Whilst researching my family tree, I happened upon your website and thought I might write to you regarding the Askews/Ayscoughs as it suggests. Hope you don't mind answering my questions!
My grandfather is an Askew and I have managed to trace the direct Askew line back to Richard Askew (1510-1551). Public memeber trees on Ancestry.co.uk suggest that he was the son of Sir William Askew Ayscough of Stallingborough, Lincolnshire. I wondered what you could tell me about Sir William...did he indeed have a son called Richard (who married a 'Janet')...and how much you know about the Askews?
Something else that struck me was the referrence to Andy Scarisbrick, as Scarisbrick is a name that I have come across whilst researching the Askews (through a marriage in c. 1790)...is this a connection to the Askews too?

Any help would be much appreciated
Best Wishes,

Esmé O'Keeffe
