Hi. all of Ayton's records and negatives were destroyed when a new tenant occupied his premises in Shipquay Place Londonderry after his death in 1900.

Ayton had a studio in Kennedy Place between 1864 and 1884 when he moved to Shipquay Place.

I have a photograph of my great grandfather taken by Mr. Ayton. The studio address is Kennedy Place, Londonderry. Is there a a way of dating it, and, indeed, making a positive identification of the subject from records.

Thank you.

Sousa is a common name in the UK, Ireland, the US; however it is probably Portuguese, probably Sephardic. Is there some info on this?

I want to get in touch with Penelope Ayton and particularly with Patricia June Ayton

Hi Joanna,
I was married in Ayton in Berwickshire in 1956. We went there because it had the same name As me.

Cathy,

My wife is related to another Leggo family that moved to Canada between 1818 and 1826. I've often wondered if this family (headed by William Leggo(1774-1848)) and Christopher Leggo were related. Do you have any information on Christopher's parents?
Look forward to hearing from you.

I have a 2 page history on Christopher Leggo who married Ann Ayton but it doesn't give much information on her. It does mention her brother, Hophineas (Hophni) Ayton and I found information on him at familysearch.org. The reference was made using the nickname and not the full first name.

Edmund Sydney was born in 1915. The house he was born and lives in was narrow the Town House. The oldest son of his brother Edwin Leslie Ayton (1923) wrote his life history. His is named after his uncle. His names is Graham Sydney Ayton, born in 1951.

I suppose his mother Hilda was a German. Her children wear German names. Edmund Sydney, Herbert Maurice (1916-1996), Rheinald (1920-1981), Edwin Leslie (1923), Dorothy (1921-1998) and Fredrick (1924-1986).

georgeayton — 2009-07-17 13:38:54Z

Hello Julie,

This is probably a bit of a long shot looking at the time span. I am the George Ayton mentioned above in Ian Hall's email. I too am descended from Robert Ayton and Elizabeth Ayton/Eighteen of Gissing. My great, great, grandfather was William Ayton 1812-1881. His son, Benjamin, moved to Teeside at the age of 18 in 1872/3. I have new information regarding Robert Ayton's parents and grandparents, if you are interested. I also helped Bill Ayton of California, USA with research for his book. If there's anything you want to ask please feel free to do so.

Best wishes,
George Ayton

Ian I don't have any information regarding your Alexander Ayton but you may be interested to know that a Google search revealed this posting. I was searching for information about your ancestor because I have an old carte de visite done by him. I do not know who the photograph is and as my rellie left Fermanagh in 1855, presumably before Alexr. commenced business, maybe it was a photo of his brother which the brother posted to Australia.

My grandmother was an Aiton. Her grandfather Dr. Thomas Aiton supposedly came to America from Scotland. We have Aiton's that settled for years in the southeast, Texas, and in Arizona. I am looking for someone who has info about either dr. or their desendents, or ancestors. We have lost alot of info because the early Aiton's had such large families and the younger children did not get the family bible or the important papers that the eldest child would have gotten. I am interested in family bibles and papers that can be copied on the ancestors of either Dr. Dr. Robert Alexander Aiton was born 1858 and died 1928 in Superior, Arizona. Thanks, Nancy Fees

I have a little information on the Suffolk AITON/AYTONs in my one-name study of EIGHTEEN as some of my early ancestors are recorded as AITON or AYTON on Boyd or IGI. But I guess as yours appear to be Scottish, information about Hadleigh, Suffolk isn't likely to be immediately relevant.

My Ayton databases are virtually restricted to the Ayton spelling and I haven't had time to extend to the Aitons although I'm sure there was probably some interconnections if you go back far enough. I know of quite a few Eighteens, Eightons, and Haytons which have changed to Aytons in the 1600 and 1700's.You will have seen some refs. to Eighteens on this message board.
Sorry i can't help you much there at the moment.

Re: Hopineas Ayton

Cathyxx — 2003-11-08 20:10:20Z

Since I posted that message I have found more references and his name was definitely Hophni. In 1859 he was a road surveyor, so he must have been fairly young when he came over. Also he came over with a married couple - Ann Ayton and Christopher Leggo. All I know about Ann was that she was born in England in 1793, and I am assuming she and Hophni are somehow related - perhaps sister and brother?

Re: Mattie Ayton

katepetersonvictor — 2003-10-31 20:58:23Z

Hello Minda!
So glad you found my posting.

Mattie (Martha A / P) Ayton was born 22 Apr 1866 in IL to Benjamin F Ayton (b. ca 1832, d. after 1880) and Orlenia T Laymar (b. ca 1833, d. after 1880). She died in 1952.

She married John Wilson Gowdy (Sr) (b. 22 Feb 1858 in USA, d. 01 Jan 1930) on 12 Nov 1891 in LeRoy, McLean County, IL.

I have recently made a fantastic find through a posting on another message board and was able to purchase the original wedding certificate, complete with wedding-dressed pictures of John and Mattie!! If you'd like I can email you a digital image of it--it's really quite remarkable!

I also have much handwritten reminiscences about your grandfather, John Wilson Gowdy (Jr). My mother-in-law lovingly took the time to pen bunches of family information for me, and as she is a most remarkable and intelligent woman herself, her writings are most engaging. I believe she would not mind me sharing her thoughts with you as she wrote everything in the spirit of passing on family history.

If you have any dates or family information about your father or what you know of your grandparents or great-grandparents, please consider sharing it with me. I'm compiling a family history to hand down to descendants (like you!). So too, if you can share family pictures, it would be wonderful.

You and my husband Dale are second cousins!

Let me hear from you!
Kate

Re: Mattie Ayton

Hi,
I found your posting when I was poking around on the web at work. My father is John Roger Gowdy who lives in Bellevue, WA. and is married to Judith Ellen Core.

My father's father is John Wilson Gowdy ("Bill") (deceased 1969) who was married to Florence Regina Sather (deceased 1997). They lived in Seattle, WA. Their two children were my father John Roger and his sister Carolyn Ann.

J.W. Gowdy's father was also named John Wilson Gowdy and he was married to Mattie P. Ayton.

So that means that my great grandparents are John and Mattie Gowdy. I'd be curious to know about Mattie P. Ayton. or her husband John Wilson Gowdy.
