Title: SAMUEL ASTON
Post by: ericthepenguin1 on Tuesday 04 October 16 17:07 BST (UK)
Hi

I am trying to find  death record for a Samuel Aston, Exciseman. He may well have been born in 1742 but certainly died around 1815 - 1817, (based on an entry in Houses of Parliament papers)

There is a burial record at St Peters, Wolverhampton in 1816, but having looked at the Wolverhampton family history site this puts that Samuel Aston as 28 years old. My Samuel Aston certainly worked in Lancashire and spent many years in Shropshire and may have had connections in Wales. The Samuel Aston born in 1742 was born in Staffordshire.

I will also place this post on the area forums mentioned above on RC.  Basically the search is really doing my head in!!!  :)

Thanks for reading this post

Eric
