  Father	William ASTON,   b. Abt 1832, Scotland, UK d. 19 Nov 1888, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, England, UK (Age 56 years)
  Mother	Emily NUNN,   b. 19 Feb 1850, Chevington, Suffolk, England, UK d. 10 May 1928, 4 Rosetta Rd, Peebles, Scotland, UK (Age 78 years)
  Marriage	14 Nov 1869	St Mary, St Georges in the East, Middlesex, England, UK
  	1869 marriage solemnized at the parish church of St Mary, St Georges in the East, Middlesex. No 211, 14 Nov 1869, William Ashton, of full age, widower, photographer, of 11 Lucas St, son of James Ashton, farmer and Emily Nunn, of full age, spinster, of 11 Lucas St, dau of George Nunn, carpenter. Witnesses John Hillier, Emma Bedford Hillier. NOTE: There are some questions about details on this if this is the same couple who set up a photographic business in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk. If so, William Ashton then dropped the "h" from his surname and becomes known as William Aston. Also note that Emily Nunn gives her father's name as George Nunn, carpenter, which is a puzzle because her mother was Sarah Nunn, daughter of Samuel Nunn and Susan Gilby. Emily is found with her grandfather Samuel Nunn on the 1851 census (along with her mother Sarah) and, on the 1871 census, Samuel Nunn is with her and William in Bury St Edmunds. As to Emily's parentage, it's possible she simply made up her father's name to avoid the shame that she was a base child. The other possibility is that a George Nunn was in fact her father. But the available records for Emily Nunn born 1850 in Chevington, or nearby, point to the fact that this Emily Nunn is the base child of Sarah Nunn. Another fact is that both woman died at the same address in Peebles, Scotland, Sarah aged 82 in 1911 and Emily aged 78 in 1928. On top of that, Sarah was housekeeper to John Ferguson, who was married to her granddaughter Edith Aston!
