Disambiguation

There seems to be massive confusion on the internet about Edith's father John. Rather than spread that confusion to this family tree, I leave John Ayres with no parents and only one wife, the mother of Edith, Ruth Brown. I don't recommend merging John with any similar profile that has wife Martha Walker or father Obadiah Ayres.

Here is Edith's birth record, copied from familysearch.org. Notice name of mother:
