Henry ayres and olive james

[Rebeccajames35]

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

One suggestion on another site is that Larwence listed in the 1851 census might actually have been Louisa??   http://www.genealogistsforum.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=10062

                 Rebecca .

If Louisa's parents were henry Ayres and Olive - then wouldn't her name be Olive Ayres ?? Did she marry John James?

could you post details of John James and Olive's d.o.b.
