I am so stuck it is untrue - and was hoping that someone could help me or point me in the right direction.
These are the facts as I know (in reverse):
Wiliiam Aston died 24th Oct 1920 aged 46yrs, occupation a Nail Cutter (journeyman) (
) at 16 Mason St Stalybridge (all from his death cert)
He married Edith Barratt on July 7th 1917 in Christ Church, Dukinfield, aged 40yrs (somehow he aged 6yrs in a 3yr period!). He was a Widower and a Bobbin Carrier who live at 55 Castle St. His father was Joseph Aston (deceased) who was a chain smith. (all from his marriage cert)
Thats all I know and don't know how to find either his first marriage, or his birth certificate, or any further info on his parents - Please help!
There are rumours that he was a master freemason and that he walked from Scotland.
Here's crossing all my fingers for some enlightenment!!!
