Title: James Ayres???
Post by: Sammy An on Monday 29 May 17 15:52 BST (UK)
I'm having serious trouble with this family.

Daisy Victoria Ayres born 1903 in Eynsham Oxfordshire. I have her in 1911 with her family.
Father James Ayres b. 1865, mother Annie born 1866 apparently both born in Eynsham??

I can't find the family in any other census before 1911, nor can I find a marriage for James and Annie?

In 1911 it states that they've been married for 22 years. I can't find a birth for James either around 1865?

Any help would be very much appreciated

Sammy.

That makes sense, as it stated they had been married 22 years in the 1911 census.
That works time wise.

I have now found James Ayres/Ayers birth in 1866 in Witney. Also found him on the 1871 census. But again having trouble finding his parents marriage, John Ayers and Matilda.

Thankyou for the help.

I'm at the point now I've worked out that Henry Russell married Eliza Douglas. Also Eliza is most likely born in Ireland. The brother and sister in law were so I'm assuming they would be her siblings.
