A death has been posted on Ancestry.ca stating death occurred on 09 Jun 1902, Kingston, Surrey, England _unconfirmed at this point, Can't find William Ayres on 1901 census either
I have a found a 1911 census that looks promising to be that of William Ayres & wife Elizabeth and a large family
William Ayres, Head, Age 42, Married, 9 chn born, 8 living, 1 died, General Labourer, builder, Worker, born London Westminster, British
Elizabeth Ayres, Wife, Age 41, Married x 22 yrs, birthplace St Pancras, London**
William Ayres, Son, Age 21, Single, Drapers Porter, worker, birthplace Marylebone, London
Elizabeth Ayres, Dtr, Age 19, Single, Domestic Servant, birthplace London
John Ayres, Son, Age 17, Single, Errand boy, birthplace London
Henry Ayres, Son, Age 16, Single, Errand boy, birthplace London
Albert Ayres, Son, Age 9, Single, School, birthplace London
Doris Ayres, Dtr, Age 6, School, birthplace London
Leonard Ayres, Son, Age 4, School, birthplace London
Frederick Ayres, Son, Age 2, birthplace London
This census info jives with the marriage information I have, so sheds doubt and accuracy on death date of Wm Ayres 1902 and obviously not a Son either as the 1891 census - Son William was 1, thus jives with the Son here whose age is 21. HW Jan 2011 Further corresonpondence with a Noble family researcher whose wife's Parents were the youngest son Frederick of William Ayres & Elizabeth Wilkie
Still trying to verify 1911 census - cannot find a William & Elizabeth Ayres in 1901, there are multiple William Ayres and Eliz. combinations so difficult to rule out 'no's and find the right one without something further to go on - like why does Elizabeth (Wilkie) Ayres both on her marriage and 1891 census give her birthplace as London England???William married Elizabeth Wilkie on 8 Dec 1889 in Westminster, London, Middlesex, England. Elizabeth (daughter of Robert Wilkie and Elizabeth Mitchell) was born on 13 Aug 1870 in Kinglassie, Fife, Scotland; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
