The earliest record I have found of the family is
in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicles -- a chronological written text of current
events in pre-conquest England. Mention is made in the year 963 of a widow
and her son who owned extensive properties. They practiced a form of
pin-sticking magic which was expressly forbidden at the time. Alas, they
were finally caught. They were forced to forfeit the property and sentenced
to drowning at London Bridge, the son escaped, but the widow suffered her
sentence. The spelling of the name, as translated, is AEgleswuore, an
acknowledged early form of Aylesworth.
From this rather ominous
beginning, you will learn a lot more about this wonderful, energetic and
historical family, as you go through the links below.
