Hi
I can see this is an old thread from 2009, hope some one reads this ?
Very interesting background info about the Aston family.
I have been looking at
Sarah Aston / Poulsom / Pitt
Birth Apr 1854 in Pontypool, Monmouthshire, Wales
She was never in a census with her parents but with her (gran just a guess) "Diana Perkins" even when she marries and almost next door to her Dad.
[last time I looked there were duplicate census pages for this area on Ancestry]
She may have been 16y when she married on,
25 Dec 1870
Frances Henry Poulsom, X, 28, B, miner, Cwmbran.
Father Henry Poulsom, labr
to
Sarah Aston, 20, S, Cwmbran.
Father Joseph Aston, railway inspector
Wit:-Wm Burton, Elizth Aston
See census 1871 quite interesting but badly transcribed.
I did wonder is the witness may have been a typo and should be "William Burland" who was the husband of the widow "Jane Aston"
Also I think Sarah may have been the last daughter of Ann who was the first wife of Joseph Aston. Not sure what happens to Ann and the other children ?
You can see what I have found with this link, it may not work unless you have an account.
http://trees.ancestry.co.uk/tree/29123414/person/12137094318We have always wondered why she remarried W G Pitt who was a lot younger than her and a former lodger (he was younger than some of her children) we guess it may have been for financial reasons. It was difficult to investigate since they both fibbed about their ages and then WG Pitt married again a lot later to another Sarah.
all for now.
