Aston- Any ideas where?
« on: Tuesday 21 February 06 18:59 GMT (UK) »


Huh

In the late 1500/1600's its stating on the parish records for my family tree.. Downes of Aston
I'm a bit confused because there appears to be quite a few Astons. My lot are from South Shropshire, was there a place actually called Aston, or would be it short for something like Aston Scott?
Any idea's would be greatly received
Many thanks
