Why do you think that William was married before remind me

I have visitors arriving tomorrow for three weeks, so my time will be limited for a while, this family tree becomes addictive doesn't it?

Just thought in a previous post I said " if previous is correct I have 1841 and 1851. I was referring to my previous post NOT Ambers, does that make sense.  I have just sent you the 1841 and 1851

Married : July 7th 1917 to Edith Barratt aged 40 (somehow aged 6yrs in the 3yrs between marriage and death!) in Christ Church, Dukinfield. Was a widower, occupation Bobbin Carrier, and lived 55 Castle St.
Father : Joseph Aston (deceased) who was a chain smith

The fact that his marriage cert says 'widower' kind of suggests a previous marriage 

Just looking up to see what a chain smith does.

I've just been looking for the 1917 marriage that is mentioned here and cannot find a William Ashton marrying anyone called Barratt in the Sept 1/4.
Can you confirm the dates please Louise.

Married : July 7th 1917 to Edith Barratt aged 40 (somehow aged 6yrs in the 3yrs between marriage and death!) in Christ Church, Dukinfield. Was a widower, occupation Bobbin Carrier, and lived 55 Castle St.
Father : Joseph Aston (deceased) who was a chain smith

Rumours he was Master Freemason and that he walked from Scotland.

As genealogists  we are told never to believe family rumours.
Although in this case they may well be true 

I've found them in Scotland in 1891 

At 2 Germiston Place,Glasgow.

Joseph ASTON 74 head ,chain maker b England
Mary wife 42  shop woman,provision b England
William son 24 nail maker b England
John son 23    ditto ....ditto
Obadiah son 15  apprentice nail maker b Coatbridge Lanarkshire
Polly dau 9 scholar B Coatbridge
Sarah dau 4 scholar b Glasgow Lanarkshire

I know William is not exactly the right age,but maybe he didn't tell the truth on marriage if Edith was quite a bit younger?

And in 1901 at 350 Petershill Road,Glasgow.

William Aston head 30 nail maker b England
Florence Aston wife 26 b England
THomas W Aston son 7 scholar b Glasgow Lanarkshire

There is a marriage in 1893 of a William Aston to a Florence on Scotlands people, I don't have any credits to find out more though- sorry!
And the birth of a Thomas W Aston in 1894.

Can't see a death of Florence or Thomas before 1916 in Scotland though.


Maybe someone on the Lanarkshire board will have more info?

Same family in 1881 at Brands Ld,Old Monkland (that's what the transcript says,can't view the image I'm afraid) The family has been mistranscribed as ASHTON.

Joseph 42 head chain maker b England
Mary wife 34 chain makers wife b England
John son 14 scholar b Eng
William son (it says 6 but I think it should be 16) app bricklayer b Eng
Obediah son 5 scholar b Coatbridge.

Hope that helps
