40 +years finding William Aston Born 1839

[LaytonLily]

Well that was a short lived hope !    Looking on Family Search for anything on Jemima Standfield I find the death of William Standfield in July 1838 age 0yrs.   So although presumably named at birth for Aston, died as Standfield

The mother's name given is Jemima Standfield.    Now does that mean they were not married ?

The short answer is no, it doesn't.  The heading is for "Name and maiden surname of mother", so there is no way to tell from the birth cert whether or not there was a marriage.

What a pity.  It looks like William’s birth wasn’t registered then.  So frustrating.

If they were married I would expect it to read Jemima Aston formerly (or similar word ) Standfield.

The birth certificate does not give the baby a surname it just names him as William.  It then names his parents who don't happen to share the same surname.  Sometimes birth registrations like this are indexed under both surnames.

Shame he is not yours though.

Hi,  Am trying to contact you re a separate post (possibly quite old and which I've now lost!) re the Layton family and a possible burial at Dolefield Cottage.  We live in what was the barn to Bank Farm, mathon, whioch was owned by the Layton family, and Dolefield Cottage (to be precise 'Cottages' as they are now two) are next door.  I have more information on the family but most is derived from the work of June Harwood who may well be known to you.  Feel free to reply via this site    Regards, David (Robertson) High Grove Barn.
