Thanks Gill, Does that mean we have a connection?

I was a bit concerned about the age gap of the siblings but have been using information passed to me by a Frowen relation and had no real reason (until now) to doubt it.

Are you able to fill in the gaps for me with regard to Elizabeth's parents?

Reference to Elizabeth Aston 1781, Philippa I think you may have a generation missing, Richard born 1745 had a daughter Betty Aston 1781, who may have married your William Frowen.

My connection is with Anne Aston 1790 daughter of Richard & Susannah, who married a Jeremiah Smith.

I have found a baptism for an Edward Assen son of Edward & Sarah at Newland 15 May 1721.

I hope this helps...........Gill

I'm on a roll today!

I was just trying to tidy up some of my enteries on Ancestry when I came across a 'match' for Edward Aston (b 1719 Newlands). I know he married a lady called Patience and they had:-

Richard b 1745
Thomas b 1747
Benjamin b 1752
Jane b 1755
Sarah b 1764
Elizabeth b 1781 - married William Frowen (my 4 x g grandparents)

The match suggested that the parents of Edward Aston we Edward Aston b 1681 and Sarah ? b 1686.

Edward senior's parents = Philip G Aston and Mary Marsh (b 1757)

Great grandparents = William Aston and Margaret Gorwill (b 1718)

Great great grandparents = William Aston and Penelope Burgess

As you can see, the dates given for births can not be correct and I wondered if these were actually dates of death?

Just wondered if anyone on here has done any research into this family and can confirm or deny this info? I have sent a email to the person who i think entered this information as well.
