William and Sophia Ashworth made a few trips back to England in 1900 and 1907, presumably they may have been in touch with their friends and family. Unfortunately no UK address is given.

This looks like them in 1891 in England, just before they left for USA:

Haven't found deaths yet for William and Catherine (or a marriage) - complicated by there being other families called Ashworth in Fall River, also they moved around quite a bit.

I would just like too say a big thankyou for all your help .
This is Jacqui Keiths wife its my Annie you have helped me with
the family story is Annie went with her auntie to the USA to help her
i thought she had a young family and that was why she needed help
but i know know differant ,
I was talking to my other auntie who in the late 60s met Annie in her
home but could not remmber where it was but thought it was Long Island
how wrong she was only 17 at the time she has now remembered Graces husband was Ted as he picked them up from the station he worked for the railway she thinks Annie was ill at the time and had nurses around the clock she diead not long after thay returnd home ,
It looks like Catherine married William which i was not expcting ,

Thank you
Jacqui :-)
