My 3 x great granny was louisa james and she was married to John james. Louisas parents were henry ayres and olive james .
Between them the have at least 9 children : henry b1846
William b1857
Alice b1847
Joseph b1844
MaryAnn b1837
Lawrence b1836
Deana b 1834
Olive b ??
I am pretty sure this is the right family because it was researched over 5 years ago by my sister and dad and this tree also has the miley family marry into the ayres family. I'm really unsure how to go any further and am wondering if the daughter olive could possibly be louisa .maybe louisa first name was olive ...........I think my brain is about to explode
If anyone has these people in their tree or just has some information that would be much appreciated

I am researching Olive Ayres, the information I have so far:
I have found a baptism for Olive: Oliph Ayers - 01 May 1842 - Hever, Kent, England - Father: Henry Ayers - Mother: Oliph Ayers. I don't believe Olive is Louisa.
Henry and Olive's daughter Olive had children with William Henry Gardiner/Gardener/Gardner, I cannot find a marriage record for William and Olive. William and Olive's children:-
Mary Ann Gardener born 28 Sept 1862 - Manor Way, Northfleet, Kent.
Henry Gardner Ayres was born 3 Nov 1863 and was baptised 2 Jan 1864 - Send and Ripley, Surrey, England.
Emily Gardener was born about 1865, date from 1871 Census
Leonard was born about 1868, date from 1871 Census
Olive is not on the 1871 Census, only William, Emily, Leonard and a visitor - Samuel Ayres. I found Olive living with her sister - Mary Ann and her family on the 1871 Census. Mary Ann's husband is Richard Collison and their children are:- Louisa, Caroline, Jane and John.
Could this be the Louisa you are looking for?
