Hello Diane I also have an interest in the surname AYNSLEY [varied spellings] in this area, but don't have a great deal of information. My great great great grandmother's maiden name was Annie AYNSLEY, and the name was used as a Christian name in many generations with many different spellings. According to census records she was born in Norham near Berwick in about 1814. she married John JEFFREY and they made their home at Winlaton where John ran a grocery store. Anne Aynsley b 1814 m John JEFFREY Dec 4 1835 at Mordington, near Berwick Records show that John and Ann were married at Mordington near Berwick, Dec 4 1835, and perhaps lived with her folks in Norham - which is near Berwick, but is in Co Durham, until after the birth of their first child, William in 1836. Then they moved to North Shields where John was born in 1838, then to Winlaton Mill, between 1838 and the birth of Aynsley in Dec 1840. Charles 1844, George 1846 and Allen Rattray were born in Blaydon Burn Thomas August 1850, James Kerr 1852, Jane Ann 1855 and Susan 1857 were born in Winlaton Her parents might be William and Jane, but I have no proof of this, only naming patterns and the fact that there is a couple by this name in Norham of the right age - not much to go on.. I have not been able to find any record of a baptism for her with any parents! - nor do I know of any siblings. The middle names Rattrey and Kerr might provide some clues, but they haven't struck a note with me yet! There are many families in the Ryton area with the surname AYNSLEY, so it is possible that they moved there to be near her family. If you can see any connections I'd love to know about them - because Annie is a real brick wall for me.
