unknown Ayres, of Leicestershire

Children of [__?__] Ayres

Erwin W. Fellows’ research points to the possibility that Mary, was the daughter of Humphrey Eyre of Foxton, England. Humphrey Eyre was buried at Foxton, Aug 10, 1628. Records of baptism, list two children; a daughter, Goodithe, Sep 9, 1607, and a son, John, Jan 7, 1609. The name “Goodithe” was quite common and although no Mary is listed, the time and place are right. .
