To my knowledge, he does have a daughter. That would be me in fact.

Its true, mick aston does have a daughter, and i should know because she's my sister.

[edit] WP:NOR

If you are correct - How can I tell! See policy in link above. This being a public domain encyclopedia anyone can make these claims. How do we "know" this to be the case. I have only seen reference in web based locations to a son. Please state you claim, i.e. give sources etc. or we have to assume this is "spam". :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page) 15:55, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Fair point - I shall continue procrastinating whilst i should be revising and endeavour to provide you with necessary facts to prove my own existence! (interesting!)

If you are who you say - this would be an interesting philosphical question - when am I who I say I am? But hopefully you can see my reluctance to let "anyone" claim to be some one of note or connect to such a person. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page) 16:13, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
Talking of which, are you by any chance related to Carenza Lewis? I know her hubby posted for a while on a well-known and related forum a couple of years ago. You could, perchance be the same Mr Lewis? Bruce, aka Agendum | Talk 12:45, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
not that I know of, but we haven't completed our family tree so who knows. Actually there are quite a few Lewis's about to so isn't too likely. Also I'm not even sure if "Lewis" is her given name or marital one. I assume by the way you talk probably her marital one. It might be nice to know. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page) 14:32, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
Verifable refernce to a book should be suffient. Although offical style web source would be quicker. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page) 16:10, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Hmm, this task is turning out to be rather tricky! I am starting to doubt my own existence... Does it need to be a web based source? I believe that one or two of his early books are dedicated to both myself and my brother. I shall find out which. (to previous message) I am sure that if one traced their family tree back far enough they would be amazed at who they were distantly related to. Could be quite scary.

Mick has a son, James, by Carinne Allinson, who also has two other children by other fathers. Carinne's eldest child, Kathryn, was reared as Mick's daughter, but is in fact his step-daughter. Mick's book Monasteries (Batsford 1993) was dedicated to James and Kathryn. --Genie 16:14, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] emeritus?

Is it correct that Mick is an emeritus professor? The University of Bristol webpage says only that he is retired, implying specifically that he is not emeritus. 08:57, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Mick is indeed an emeritus professor. Mick told me that himself, but you can find the information online e.g. http://www.winchester.ac.uk/?page=8101 --Genie 13:59, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge proposal

I propose all useful material from Mick's Archaeology be moved to this article. The article on the book simply doesn't have enough material to justify a separate article. It has a couple sentences and a chapter listing, the first of which would be merged, and the second of which doesn't really need to be in the encyclopedia.

Agreed.--Genie (talk) 19:52, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
