Ernest does seem likely as he lived near Alexandra but on the census all his family are listed as Aishton, I thought it was a spelling error before, but the family I'm looking for is Ashton. Getting David's birth certificate would be a good idea, as suggested |

Ernest Aishton looks like he could be more likely the right guy but I'm concerned that his name is Aishton and not Ashton. When you look at it on the census it's not a mistake, it's quite obviously Aishton and yet David Ashton, Alexandra Feeney's son is Ashton, not Aishton |

I've not been doing anymore research on this for a while and I have just been supplied with some more names of Alexandra's children from a relative. I was told that Ernest was the oldest child of Alexandra but I can't find him anywhere so I went back over this thread and Andrew mentioned about the Aishton/Feeney birth in 1922 as does GLB above. This was the Ernest I was missing so I'm sure that you are all right and the man I'm looking for is Ernest Aishton. I've just ordered David's birth certificate, finally, so I'll let you all know, if anyone's still interested.Thanks everyone. :-) |

Hi, anyone who helped with this earlier in the year. I now have David Ashton's birth certificate and his Dad is mentioned as Ernest Edward Victor Ashton and his mother as Alexandra Idina so mystery solved. It seems as if Ernest was Aishton on a survey and his first son Ernest was registered as Aishton but they became Ashton after that. Thanks again everyone |
