I am trying to find John Aston on the 1851 or 1861 census , John was age 24 in 1863 when he got married and was a puddler , his father was Samuel who was a stocktaker.
I would appreciate any help with this please.

Annie

annie you dont say where he from if you got the 1871,81 census post them they might help people

Hi Peterd

I'm afraid I don't know where he was born, he never appeared on the census with his wife Harriet because he died in 1868, they married at dudley so have been trying all those who were living round the Black Country area but can't see one with a father named Samuel.

Ok this is the link for John Aston and father Samuel
http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/tr ... onnections

So we need him on the 1851 or 1861 census please


have we him after his marriage on a census if so where does he say he is born?
do we have a possible bapt?
father is Samuel

here we go

Wit- Sampson Aston/ X Sarah Aston

Poss

Oldbury Lane, West Bromwich
Samuel Aston 39 - Labourer - b Tipton
Rhoda Aston 41 - b Darlaston
Hannah Aston 15 - Seamstress - b Darlaston
John Aston 12 - Labourer - b Gornal
Sampson Aston 10
William Aston 7
Rebbeca Aston 4
Pamela Aston 2
Richard Aston 1
others b Greet Green

This looks like the same family in, under Ashton.
Samuel has a new wife.
1861.
Samuel Ashton. abt 1812.
Elizabeth Ashton. abt 1810.
John Ashton. abt 1839.
??Son Ashton. abt 1843.
William Ashton. abt 1844.
Rebain Ashton. abt 1847.
Pamela Ashton. abt 1849.
Richard Ashton. abt 1850 .
Martha Ashton. abt 1852.
John Ashton. abt 1858.

1861 must be an error, Samuel is still with Rhoda.

1881.
Samuel ASTON. Head. M. Male. 69. Tipton, Stafford, No Occupation.
Rhoda ASTON. Wife. M. Female. 70. Darlaston, Stafford,
Albert ASTON. Grand Son. U. Male. 16. West Bromwich, Stafford, Painter (House).

Hi Jimmy, Farside & Northern Lass Thank you so much for finding my family , they have been sending me cross eyed trying to find them, John Aston died in 1868 so he was not on a census with his wife and family.
