Hello Ciderdrinker, my maternal grandfather was Benjamin Ainsworth, the name's come down through the family either as a first or middle name, the last being my uncle who died last year leaving no son to carry on the name on our line.
My gt. gt. gt. grandfather Stephen, birth estimated 1787,baptised 1794 married as Hainsworth in 1810 to Elizabeth Guy in Deritend.
I think Stephen is possibly the son of Benjamin and Sarah from Willenhall. On our line I've come across Hainsworth, Aynesworth, Hainsworth and Ensor, someone once said that Ainsworth could sound like Ensor in a local accent and with a few teeth missing!
Wishing everyone a happy Christmas.
