I also checked the image and it does look like Aston.

So Anne/Hanna also had a brother Robert T aged 7 on 1861 census. And thanks to Ivy the Hughes also fits. There are 2 BMD entries for a Robert Thomas Aston born Wirral in 1852.

Adam, I know it looks like we have sent you all over the place, but this really does look like your family.

Print out what you have and check it through. I usually have one page for each bit of information as makes it easier to sort. Cut and paste into a word document then print.


Still looking for the marriage of Hannah Hughes and Thomas Aston. Also a death for Hannah nee Hughes.
Gail

right i have there marriage cert here and she calls herself anne aston on here it was jan 10th 1874 she is 21 her father is thomas aston engineer, and he's not down as deceased so that kinda blows the 1855 death out the water

Status of fathers on marriage certs

Deceased generally means dead but can mean ficticious father to cover illegitimacy (and hence better out of the way) or in a few cases where the person would rather nobody tried to contact them.

No mention of deceased then person can be alive or dead depending on whether anybody asked if they were dead. I have a lot where I know the father is dead but it doesn't say deceased.

Andy

ok thanks andy so he could of died in 1855 but why would they ask he's proffesion if he is dead ? its all very confusing

Adam


it could just be that the vicar did not ask the right question.


If he asked for the name of her father and his profession but NOT if he was alive or deceased ............... then she has given him the answer to the direct question!

She was of full age (or so she says!!) being 21, and so father's permission was not required.



sorry I disappeared, my server was down all day yesterday :(((

Going by when census was held 30 March 1851 I would say that the second Hannah Aston would be the closer match for Birth.
