Samuel Ayers - Southleigh
« on: Wednesday 18 May 11 18:29 BST (UK) »
Hello all,

i am compiling my family tree on a well known website and several members have my 7 x gt granddad, Samuel Ayers, listed as born 1680 but I can find no record of this. I have found what I believe is his marriage to Jane Harris in Southleigh 1702 from parish records.
Any help with confirmation of birth/bap. would be greatly appreciated.

Regards, Andy.

Sorry, no baptism details in any of the Witney area regs (I have the 4 OFHS cds).  I have found a death for Samuel Sept 30 1722 Southleigh and his widow (although it says Jean) 25 Jul 1740.

(For info I have also checked WD01-03, CN02, BIC03, BAN03.  If you look at the OFHS website you can find the list of parishes on these cds and rule them out.)

Regards
Steph

Well that rules out the Witney area so now I will have to look further afield.

Thanks for your time Steph, Andy.

I take it you have been checking out the various alternative spellings of Ayers? 
Skewis (Wales and Scotland), Ayers (Maidenhead, Berkshire), Hildreth (Berkshire)

Yep, I think i've tried most of them. From Airs to Eyris to Hyers and all in between.
