Hi Jeremy

The 1851 census gives Edward's year and place of birth as abt. 1763 Newland. This is correct if he was 89 when he died in 1853 as you stated from the gravestone.

The 1841 census gives Edward's year and place of birth as abt. 1771 Gloucestershire. Now I know that this is a few years out but I did find a baptism for Edward Aston bap. 2 Nov 1771 Newland to parents Phillip and Ann Aston on the IGI and from my experience you sometimes have to take ages on the census or even sometimes headstones with a pinch of salt!
