A search of the 1871 Census for "Anna; born Worcestershire 1864 +/-2" produced 39 hits - none of whom had a surname that even vaguely resembled 'AYRIS'... [The closest was an Anna Maria HARRIS, 6, born Kidderminster, the youngest child of a widowed Ann HARRIS. (RG10/3033/27/380 - but frankly this seems unlikely to be yours.] Various possibilities: 1) she and her family emigrated before 1871; 2) she may have married as a widow; 3) her birth date may have been massaged... You really need to find her marriage and death - and hope that the information given on the certificates is true...

She was born in Worcestershire in 1864 but no further information is known. Is there any way I can find out more in that county about her. I am currently seeking her death certificate which may be of help.
