I have a Robert Ayre b.1813 and wife Mary. They had 3 sons, Robert b.1844, John b.1846 and Thomas b.1850. Son Robert married another Mary and they had a daughter, Florence Mary b.1869, and sons John b.1870 and Robert b.1872. At one point they lived in Smith Street, also lived in Stockton for many years – any connection?
