My Paternal Grandmother was Amy (b 1908 Castleford, Yorks.) whose father was jesse (b 1877 Castleford). His father was a John (b.1853 Newton-le Willows, Lancs. Haven't got any further back than that on that line, so I'd be grateful if either of you turn anything up, if you'd let me know. For the record, since neither of you mention it in your posts, Padiham is near Burnley in Lancs, and the Ainsworth name is far more prevalent on that side of the Pennines than in Yorkshire. There is a village called Ainsworth just outside Bury.
