Desperate for help....
I was recently told at a family funeral that my surname is not my surname at all.It seems, through a distant family member, that in the late 1890's or early 1900's a member of my grandfather's family committed a crime and to escape punishment changed his name from ASTON to ASHTON.I was told his name was William ASTON and two of his sons committed a crime and they subsequently could not find work in the PA or VA area (The geography may be off) so they added an H to their name and the subsequent decendents became ASHTON.Does anyone know of a William Aston with two sons by the name of Harry and Ted.Any information would be greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance for any help.Bea
