Surnames: Ainsworth Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/HO.2ADEB/271.1.1 Message Board Post: Hi, Jan. Boy, I'd love to help you out here. I have no idea who John's parents were. I think he was born in Padiham, England and his wife, Agnes, born in Yorkshire. Is Ainsworth a very common name? Whew! If I get any leads, though, in my own research, I'll try to pass them on to you. Best wishes! Linda
