Good luck

I have a feeling that the William i have on my tree should not be there otherwise his mum would have been 10 like i found out. Does anyone agree?

Evidently Jane had a son before she married James:
1891 census
Jordison's Buildings, Green Lane, Harton, Durham
James Smailes, head, 50, general labourer, born Mitford
Jane, wife, 40, born Bedlington
Jno. Geo. Harbottle, son, 17, born Durham, Boldon
Eleanor Smaile, dau, 10 months, born Durham, Haitor?

And next door:
Ralph Harbottle, head, 66, general labourer, born Northumberland
Eleanor, wife, 67, born Newburn
Jane A., grandau, 17, born Durham, Claydon?

Jane Harbottle had John George Harbottle the same month she married James.! bit of a scandel. The information someone has just gave me on here says that Jane and Thomas had 5 years apart that means that she would have been 15 when she had William. Can anyone find out if Jane Aynsley was born in 1816

I mean 1806 sorry my maths is terrible

The William who is the brother of James was born in Northumberland............so he is not likely to be the one who says he was born in Tanfield

Have you tried looking on the IGI for Jane's baptism?

I dont know i am so confused i have his profession as a coal miner if that helps

If the family on the 1841 census is correct then Jane was 5 years older than Thomas (approx 1803 & 1808).

Since they married in 1832 (a year after William was born) William would have been Janes son and possibly not Thomas's.

He would therefore be your ancestors step-brother. He may even have been christened Aynsley.

Was James previously married?
1881 census
West Harton, Durham
James Smailes, head, 40, colliery cartman, born Northumberland, Meldon Park
Hannah, wife, 41, born Durham, Saltoell?
Thomas, son, 17, apprentice to saddler, born Northumberland, Marton House

This is a possibility for William in 1861
