Particularly significant for the Aston family[edit]

it is a fact that: In 1611, after paying a fee of £1095 sir Walter was created Baronet of Tixall.

However what follows is I think speculation:

The event was particularly significant for the Aston family; as descendants of John Aston, minor nobility of the Plantagenet dynasty, they had little standing with the Tudor dynasty which had driven the last Plantagenet, King Richard III, from power when he was slain at the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485.^[1]

However where I am location the source by Charles Mayo is is only viewable under Google Books in snipit format, so my searches of the text have not turned up any text to support the claim.

I have recently completed a biography article on Sir John de Aston who was the direct male ancestor of the subject of this biography,(his great-great-grandfather[1]). Sir John was an early Tudor hero who was honoured with a K.B. by Henry VII and a banneret by Henry VIII which shoots down in flames the idea that "The event was particularly significant..." -- PBS (talk) 13:58, 7 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Walter's sister[edit]

I am moving this text here. I considered placing it in Edward Aston (died 1598) but it is not really relevant to that biography either. By placing it here if at some future date another biography is written for which it is more suitable then it can be copied form here:

Anne daughter of Edward Aston (died 1598) was married to Ambrose Elton, Esq., of The Hazle, Ledbury, Herefordshire, an Oxford graduate, JP and Sheriff of Herefordshire in 1618.^[1] Thomas Levett of Lichfield, a great-grandson, erected a monument in honor of Ambrose Elton in 1753 in Ledbury Church, Ledbury.^[2] Elton Levett of the same family, later of Nottingham, was named for his ancestor Elton.^[3] Elton Levett's daughter Frances married Hon. George Byron of the Lords Byron of Newstead Abbey.^[4]
