Can anyone please help me on Elijah Aston as his birth is shown as ABT 1828 Netherton, but it is also shown as his christening at 25 December 1825 St Thomas, Dudley. Also Job and Esther are shown as twins on 1851 census but on the 1861/1871 census there is a 2 year difference. Thanks.

moved to BC section

is the dob in 1828 from census if so they can be out

have you his marriage to check father? as there are 2

Job and esther are they aston if so can you post what you have it helps with more info.
what dob do you have for them and where born?
again census dates are out sometimes

this is from the IGI

ELIJAH ASTON Christening: 25 DEC 1825 Saint Thomas, Dudley, Worcester
Parents:
Father: JOHN ASTON Mother: LUCY Extracted

and this

ELIJAH ASTON Christening: 22 APR 1827 Old Swinford, Worcester,
Death: 03 JUL 1836 -----------------------------------------this can be incorrect would need verifying
Parents:
Father: JOHN ASTON Mother: MARY Extracted

Here's the link to BCC - http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/fa ... ton-Family

I changed his birth year to correspond with this that I found...

poss (extracted)
ELIJAH ASTON
Christening: 25 DEC 1825 Saint Thomas, Dudley, Worcester
Father: JOHN ASTON
Mother: LUCY

that does look like his bapt

but age on census and death is out

Deaths Jun 1907
ASTON Elijah 77 Dudley 6c 49

might be worth looking that up to see if it is an 8 or a 5 in actual register

might be 1828 but whoever transcribed it thought it was 1825
and to see occup of father and abode

Dudley archives would have that register

I think it is his bapt here is brother and witness

ISAIAH ASTON Christening: 20 OCT 1816 Saint Thomas, Dudley, Worcester,
Parents:
Father: JOHN ASTON Mother: LUCY Extracted

You would need to check with registry office as to which one is the correct one if you were ordering

1848
ASTON Esther Dudley (DUD) Dudley Register Office DUD/034/188

1851
ASTON Esther Stourbridge (STO) Dudley Register Office STO/021/165

1851
Surname Forename(s) Sub-District Registers At Reference
ASTON Job Dudley (DUD) Dudley Register Office DUD/041/230


I am going with the 1848 for esther will amend on Bcc

Thanks everyone. Does this mean that Esther and Job arent twins?

YOu would need to send for certifs to verify
I have added them to Bcc with a possible on notes

maybe find Job and esther on later census too

I have had a look on Ancestry.co.uk and there does seem a difference in ages on a couple of them. So I think they are just plain siblings. Thanks

If completed I will move this to archived section
