Hi Don Many thanks for your interest and assistance. Thomas was certainly not born in Belper according to info received for 1891 1901 and 1911 Census returns. Parents John and Martha Vayro were in West Tanfield (N Yorks) in 1891 and he was a groom on the 191 C in Rugby Area. I agree that he had settled in Belper from 1914 and my assumption is that he may have been posted to Derbyshire before WW1 and decided to marry, stay and have kids. The families you have found would hopefully be from his sons Percy and Norman Vayro, and it is their grandchildren who have made the original contact. There was apparently a third son Dennis who seems to have gone off the radar in about 1970? Anyway I hope to be able to get some details direct about Percy and Norman, but if you could extract anything for me I really would welcome it with open arms. Even if it is the actual years and quarters of registration for the births would be a start. It really is amazing how members have responded to this with bits and pieces Thanks again Rennison Rennison's List on http://www.upperdalesfhg.org.uk/rennisons.htm The Vayro Ancestry on http://www.vayro.name Vayro Database on http://vayro.tribalpages.com Vayro Guild of One-Name Studies Profile http://one-name.org/name_profile/vayro/ http://www.rennisonprimarydesigntechnology.info Searching for VAYRO, VARO, VARAH and variations worldwide
