Thanks for the replies.....Colin, Hugh Joseph Clarke was Joseph Hugh Clarke's father.....I took advantage of Find My Past being free to view during remembrance weekend, and saw the article you refer to, but as you say nothing about Clarke the younger and sheep stealing.....

Ayrshire / Sheep Rustling...at Crosshouse ?
« on: Tuesday 14 November 23 18:27 GMT (UK)  »
My Mrs. reckons that her father, Joseph Hugh Clarke (1918-1975) went to jail, in the early fifties for sheep rustling.......as far as she can remember they lived at an outlaying farm near to Crosshouse at the time, trying to find any information about this........

Someone else has a picture, on Ancestry, of Mary Hilda, with a baby Ayto.....which is very interesting.....but no other details......

Thank you, yes, I have this William on my tree.....KIA in Greece.....I think the other William is a "red herring" as explained above......

Ah....I may have been given misinformation....it is a common problem with the Ayto surname, that people add the "N" onto the end.....it's something that has happened all my life.......

Many thanks for the replies.....so it looks like John Ayto WAS married twice, the second time to Mary Hilda Clayden.......I am also looking for a William Alan Ayto, supposedly the son of a John Ayto and Mary Shipton......apparently he was a member of the N Z airforce, possibly born 3rd September 1921.....and his nickname was "Snow" any help appreciated.......EDIT....possibly born Whangarei NZ....

Yes, I wondered that.....maybe she went on a holiday, and met John Ayto, and stayed in NZ.....it certainly looks that way......I still can't find the John Ayto that she married.......

I am not sure, I'm in the UK myself.....the NZ Ayto's are distant relatives of mine (in more ways than one).....I will have to ask someone in the chatroom......

Well, I don't think it can be the John Ayto 1911-2003, as when he died his widow is given as Mabel E Ayto.....very strange......
