A Tree has Hannah Hartshorns Parents as Francis/Ruth but I think they were more likely William/Phebe.
Will explain more later.

Hi. I would like to thank everyone that has responded to my post re: Phoebe Aston and all the information and help that I have received. Rootschat is a fantastic website. I guessed that Richard Aston had died when very young. This has now been confirmed for me. I also found  the marriage of Phoebe Hartshorn Cheshire, aged 17 to John Aston, aged 30 in Wolverhampton in 1848. This confused me since John Aston was born in 1829 which would have made his age 19 not 30. Maybe he changed his age for the Census's records. Was it ok for girls of 17 to get married in 1848? I also didn't understand the name Hartshorn after Phoebes name but this also has been explained now.
  Thanks again for all the help. Tramore.

Hi Tramore,

The 1848 Marriage is on Familysearch with John as age 30. But FreeREG has transcribed him as age 20 which fits with his age on Census.
As I dont have access to a image of the actual Marriage I cant look at it.

So we need a Baptism for John with a Father THOMAS as per M/C.

I am sure this is him in 1841 in Wolverhampton, not with Parents though;

John Turner, 25, Miner
John ASTON, 15, Puddler, born in County*****
Sophia Johnson, 10, Sevant
Harriet Wild, 5

1871 John age 43 is down as born c 1827 Loweth, Lincolnshire (crossed through)

Death Reg Gro Index;
ASTON, JOHN, age 48
GRO Reference: 1874  M Quarter in WOLVERHAMPTON  Volume 06B  Page 329
So born c 1826

Sorry I cant find a Baptism in on-line sources.
