A Civil Parish
- Ailsworth
Ailsworth or Ailesworth, as I was brought up to spell it, has no church. It has a Methodist chapel dating back to around 1860. My family worshiped there for nearly all of the 20th Century. As time has changed the village has changed its character.Gone are the days of cattle walking down the street to be grazed along the side of the Willow Row. Gone also,the great tithe barns that that dominated Main Street.
Ailsworth adjoins Castor, the two villages live in harmony but people born in Ailsworth are still proud of being different to those who were born in Castor. I was born in Ailesworth in 1946 in a house which had stood for around 200 years My family and many other families in both Castor and Ailesworth can trace their ancestors back for that same period of time. Many of us, of course, find we are inter- related. Many of our ancestors are there in the church yard lying side by side. The trouble with so many relations was that you didn't know if were related, especially when you was having a good moan about someone.
Ailsworth when I lived there was a "civil" parish in more ways than one.

Borton Family
- Aynho
I have traced my ancestry back to Matthew Borton b.1833 Aynho, Herbert (Thomas) Borton b.1876 Oxford and my father Herbert Matthew Borton b.1901 Oxford. I have certain information suggesting Matthew's father was a William Borton b.Aynho but there appears to be more than one born in the village in the date range 1791 to 1804. One candidate married a Sarah Baldwin b.1797 and potentially a large family was produced which may have included Matthew. Grateful if anyone could help me clarify the right William or any alternative ideas on Matthew's parentage.
