To share my thoughts....I have a marriage in 1899 - Sarah A Homer to Emmanuel Edmund Purchase. I have found them in 1901 and 1911 - place of birth shown as Coseley Staffs - which is 3 miles from Dudley.

safc - brilliant! There were two William Astons around the right time and place...and I plumped for William Harold H on the basis that the H might be for Homer....it is sooooooooooooo good when a hunch comes off!

\\Thanks! :-)

Yes I looked at that marriage...found them in 1911 - and without paying for the census (drat that this is an area not yet transcribed on A) I think she is Annie in 1911...and the age is wrong (33 instead of 31) but then Edward - assuming same one gives his age in 1911 as 35 not 33!
