The Cradley Vicar's Notes have Wm and Mary living in New Street Cradley 1857 - Wm Ashmore Gledes - Greek word for Committing Adultery. Wife Mary one daughter Ann who is at home.

(I would think the committing adultery was with Mary, probably not his legal wife )

1861 Census New Street Cradley

WILLIAM ASHMORE Head Married 39 yrs
MARY ASHMORE Wife Married 30 yrs
ANN ASHMORE Daughter Unmarried 15 yrs
THOMAS ASHMORE Son 9 mth
ELIZABETH ASHMORE Daughter 2 yrs

Thank you for the help, William didn't marry Mary until 4.12.1859 before that he was married to Charlotte Smart and I believe she was Anne's mother but she died, just told my mother as William was her 2x grandfather she was quite shocked at this news !!!
