Francis Ainscough 1690 & Susanna Rogers 1692


Hi Barbara,  
I Have been researching my husbands family tree and the name Ainscough came up, Francis Ainscough 1690 and Susanna Rogers 1692 - their daughter Elizabeth 1723.  She married Thomas Panton and is a direct descendant of my husband. Is this the same Ainscough family as yours?
Best wishes

Hi Anne
Ive attached a simplified tree for you to look at - I cant see a Francis Ainscough in my tree around 1690 but that doesnt rule out the possibility that he wasnt related to Hugh Ainscough 1689 - before this my records are patchy. Any further evidence you have to support Francis A 1690  - place of birth etc would be really useful.

Hi Barbara,
All the information l have is from ancestry.co.uk and it  goes back to William the Conqueror and the Kings of Scotland. Elizabeth was born in Fulletby in 1723 her sister Susanna was born in
1722, their father Francis died 1724, he was born on the 23rd of November 1690 & was married to Susanna Rogers born in 1692. His father was John Ayscough born in 1611 and his mother was Elizabeth Sherwood. Johns father was Thomas Ayscough 1587/1645 married to Mary Skipworth 1586. Thomas's father was Sir Edward Ayscough 1542 to 1612 he was married to Hester Crantham and his father was Sir Frances Ayscough  1509/1564 married to Elizabeth Hansard 1510/1558.
South Kelsey seems to be where most of them were born. I have not researched this myself it is all from Ancestry

Ah! I see where you are coming from - this is the distinguished Ayscough line (through marriage) in Lincolnshire. Anne Askew (Ayscough) was one of them - many served Henry V111 in his courts.
See my blog for more info.




Weve all tried to link to this branch but cant find a connection - sorry to disappoint.  Your branch may be connected though.

Matilda Cowley & John Wright


Barbara,
I would like to discuss the Wright tree with you. My mother-in-law's maiden name was Wright (she was the grand daughter of Matilda and John Wright).
My husband is the great grand son of Matilda Cowley. I am doing some family tree research and since Mike's mother (daughter of Edward Wright) died in January I have been looking at some of the few papers, photos etc that she left.

In a very small prayer book I found a list of all Matilda's (many!) brothers and sisters so this has helped me a great deal. Because of the marriage connections with the distinctive name Ainscough I have accessed the ainscoughfamily website and also wilcox and been able to spread the tree out wide but not further back than John 1700.

On Edward's list - dated 1902- it says copied from the Douai Bible in the possession of Father Ainscough. Do you know anything about this and Father Ainscough??

Am I right in concluding that both Ellen (Helen) and Thomas married members of the Ainscough family? And of course 3 sisters (Matilda, Alice & Jemima) married Wright brothers!! Edward Wright also makes my family tree design complicated because he married an Alice Cowley (in Ireland)!! I am sure that somewhere there must be a connection between the two Cowley's but as they were Irish I think that may take me years (and visits to Ireland!)!

If you are able to tell me anything more about the Cowley family I would be very interested. Equally if I can fill in some Wright / Cowley gaps in your tree I will willingly try!
Yours

Judy Whiddett

My Mothers (maiden name Wright) side of the family has a Wright Cowley Marriage. My  G. Grandfather Richard Wright Married Alice Cowley in approx 1868, the Alice that you mentionTheir son, Thomas Richard Wright was my Grandfather.  The Cowleys (still living in & around Mawdesley) were at that time in Bannister House, Bispham, Nr Mawdesley.Richard Cowley & his wife Alice (Swift)are buried at SS Peter & Pauls in Mawdesley. To add to your tree & further complicate matters my mothers sister Alice Wright married Wilf Ainscough  (John & Theresa) & her other sister Ellen married Cecil Culshaw whos mother was Margaret Ainscough.

The North of England Study

University of Leicester

The North of England Study

Background to the study

This Leverhulme Trust/Wellcome Trust-funded study is being carried out by Dr Turi King in collaboration with Professor Mark Jobling at the University of Leicester as part of the Impact of Diasporas on the Making of Britain project.

Surnames are passed down from fathers to sons, and in Britain, this has been going on since heritable surnames were first established some 700 years ago. We have studied the link between DNA and surnames, focusing on the Y chromosome, part of our DNA that is, like the surname, passed down the paternal line.

In this project we want to learn about British history by studying the Y chromosomes of men with old local surnames, to provide us with a link to the DNA of people in the past. We are particularly interested in the history of the Vikings. We know that these people left a lasting legacy on our language, landscape and place-names. But did they leave any genetic trace in today's population?

To answer this question, we wish to obtain DNA samples from men with old local surnames from the north of England. Men carrying such names are very likely to have inherited them from ancestors who lived in the area only a few generations after the Vikings settled in the region.

We have nearly completed recruitment for this study, but still require participants bearing one of the eligible surnames listed below. DNA donation is simply via a saliva sample, and volunteers will receive a description of their own Y-chromosome type when the work is completed in 2013.

If you are a man carrying one of these surnames, your father's father was born in the north of England (Cheshire, Cumbria, Lancashire, Yorkshire, Durham or Northumberland) and you would like to take part in the study, please read on below.

How to take part in the study

Men interested in taking part are asked to register to attend one of the recruitment events listed below. Here participants (and anyone interested in the study) will be able to come along, listen to a talk, ask questions about the project and give a DNA sample on the day.


January 21st, 2012, York, New Earswick Folk Hall, Meeting Room at 10am-12 noon
January 21st, 2012, Harrogate, St Paul's Church Hall, Belford Road, off Victoria Avenue, at 3-5pm
January 22nd, 2012, Lancaster, St. John's Church, North Road, LA1 1PA at 9-11am
January 22nd, 2012, Keswick, Crosthwaite Parish Room, Main Street, at 3-5pm

To register to take part please fill in your details in the form here. In this study we require only one man per surname (including surname spelling variants). As representatives for each surname come forward, we will continue to list the remaining surnames for which we do not yet have participants on the drop-down list on the registration page. If you do not have one of the eligible surnames but would still like to attend one of the events, please click here.

What does taking part involve?

Aside from the talk, participating will take around 10 minutes of your time and enable you to find out more about your ancestry and the history of the Britain. We ask that you fill out a questionnaire about your ancestry, sign a consent form, and donate a saliva sample that provides us with the DNA that we need.

Participants will be provided with a summary of the results, designed for a layperson, at the end of the study in 2013. In addition we will provide a copy of each participant's Y chromosome genetic fingerprint and an explanation sheet designed for the layperson.

During this project we are looking at normal variation only, and no targeted tests of any medical consequence are done. However, while analyzing Y-chromosomal variation it can be found, in very rare cases, that a man has lost part of his Y chromosome which is related to fertility. Therefore, if potential participants are concerned about the risks of detecting infertility, we would suggest that they do not take part.

To register to take part please fill in your details in the form here. In this study we require only one man per surname (including surname spelling variants). As representatives for each surname come forward, we will list the remaining surnames for which we do not yet have participants.

The surnames we are interested in

The only criteria for participating are that you are a man whose father's father was born in the north of England (Cheshire, Cumbria, Lancashire, Yorkshire, Durham or Northumberland) and that your surname is one of those listed below.

Exact spellings only, please. If you think that your surname is an unlisted variant of one of these names, please emailsurnames@le.ac.uk
