*** there is some debate that the Robert AYTON who married Harriett RUDD may
not be the son of Thomas AYTON who married Mary Hammond, but the available facts
show:
- Thomas AYTON's marriage certificate to Mary Haumond in 1833 was witnessed
by Edward AYTON and what seems to be Sarah AYTON, and thus could have been
Thomas' brother (Edward AYTON who later was convicted) and his wife Sarah
RAMM.
- marriage certificate of Edward AYTON (1810-1875) and Sarah RAM (1810-)
in 1831 (see marriage
cert) was witnessed by his brother Thomas AYTON
and his fiancee Mary HAMMOND.
- the conflicting information stems from a Thomas AYTON who married Mary
HAMMOND and had a son Robert b1837. In the 1881 census of Yorkshire there is
a Robert AYTON, his wife and father Thomas living in Sheffield. A Mary
Hammond died in 1871 in Syderstone.
If anyone has more old photos of any of these people, I would love to see them,
just email me.

- NB. this
site seemingly erroneously indicates Thomas' parents as being Thomas (1788-) and not John
and Ann, and further they do not have his son Robert as
marrying Harriett RUDD.
