I have now found out that Wiiliam married Mabel Freeman they had 10 children, they lived at Hereford, Daffynant Whitchurch and the Wye Rapids Hotel Symonds Yat. Bertie one of their children drowned in the river Wye aged 9 years and 4 other children died in infancy. His wife died in 1914. William married again and had a daughter. I would be very interested to hear from any descendents or anyone who has any information about the family. Thank you

Thank you slowhands for all the information, My grandmother Emily said she was born in Tenbury Wells, but I never asked why the family were there, her father Henry was coachman at what is now the Chase Hotel but was a private residence then, he was the licensee of the Noah's Ark,Tudorville Ross-on-Wye at the end of his working life.Two of Henry and Mary Ann's children are buried in Ross churchyard:- Frederick born 1892 died 1896, and Thomas Gordan born 1889 died 1890 there is a stone to mark their graves.

Ayers/Ayres family of Walford

Please can anyone help:- My gr gr grandparents John and Jane Ayers nee Jefferies, left Avening Nr Stroud in 18?? following a dispute with their son Thomas, and went to live at the Soundings, Walford, Ross-on-Wye. The son Tom was never heard of again by the family, they also had two daughters a son David who lived in Pontypridd, also my gr granfather Henry who married Mary Day of Amney St.Peters/ Eastington:- they had 10 children.
I am wondering when the family moved to Walford and if there are any descendents of either Thomas or David.
The above information was given me in a letter by my second cousin who died recently.
I would be very grateful for any help. Thank you.
