    WILLIAM ASTON
    William Aston was based at 29 St Andrews Street, before moving to 83 St Johns Street now the home of the shop called Sunrise.
    On 12th November, 2022, I received an email from Trevor Payne which contained the following research into Aston's business and life:-
    A branch opened at 7 Market Hill on the 5th September 1893 (Bury and Norwich Post). However, William Aston suffered ill health, and his mother Emily had to step in. Emily Aston ran a fancy drapers in St Johns Street and her son William, aged 20 was a photographer (1891 census). He died in 1893.
    Mrs Aston let her studio to W. Boughton in consequence of the continued ill health of her son William. (BFP 2/12/1893) William Aston died later in 1893.
