Hi

I thought it looks like Abton  -  I wonder whether it's meant to be Abingdon (if you say it quickly)
  :-\

Hi

It could be Aston (Nr Henley)  :)  When and where did he marry.

Ignore that one - I thought I had him in 1841 unmarried but he was a schoolmaster.  ::)

I am not sure where the records would be if not at Oxfordshire - it is getting close to the Bekshire border there. Sorry not much help.
