This is a continuation of the reenactment which we performed in the Stevens Creek Ward, mostly among the youth. We tell the story of the Ashtons and Isaac Wardle and the company in general.
Scene 3 introduces us to the Ashtons, and their decision to travel by handcart, even with their mother, Sarah Anne Ashton being pregnant. To William and Sarah were born six daughters. I this seen we see Betsy, 11, Sarah 7, Mary Ann 5 and Elizabeth 3. A daughter between Betsy and Sarah previously passed away. Of course the actors who were cast are older than these ages. There is no record of how the Ashtons heard of the handcart plan. Here I have Edward Martin and William Severn bringing the news. William Severn and Mary Astle were both from Nottingham and they actually marry on the ship Horizon. Details of their relationship are historical fiction. London Bridge and the song are both period.
