it could be pos that thomas william ayres 1880 his father is charles prior ayres brother, i haven't got the census so if you don't have it you will need to ask some to look on 1861/1871 census to see who his brothers were and then you can look for there marriages and then there children

whats intresting is charles is born in thanet (i think thats in kent isn't it?)

Hi Mellie
Thanks for all your effort - Thomas William Ayres born 1881 - not sure where he was born , which is part of my problem, family memory says he was from Stoke on Trent area/ the Potteries, but not 100% sure. His father was William Ayres, a baker, but apparently he was brought up by his grandparents, though which side.............!.Thomas William Ayres (jnr) born 1917 in Southampton Hants.
I have so little to go on which was why I was trying to come from a different angle by trying to get a link through Ruby M Ayres who is rumoured to be a cousin of my Dad (Thomas jnr) But family memory can be so unreliable and odd comments passed down as facts.... so I really can't be sure!
Thanks again
Barb
