H, Blackmore in his book Gunmakers of London records the Ashton fanily of gunmakers active1628- -1858. Blackmore also states that this family also used the name Asheton & ASton.The Aston Name suggests a Birmingham connection .Could this be an example of a Birmingham maker resurecting an old family name?
