Notes:

Stuart's birth was registered in the Parish of Edmonton, Hornsey, London. His parents were living at 3 Brownswood Road, South Hornsey at the time. He attended the Albert Memorial College at Framlingham, Suffolk, a boarding school which had 249 boys in residence in 1901. 1901 Census ref : RG13 ,Piece 1787, folio 145, page 6. Shows age of 15. This census record was for the Albert Memorial College at Framlingham in Suffolk East.

Stuart left England for the farm Glen Avon, at Somerset East, Cape, South Africa, to learn farming.
I could never understand the connection of Stuart to Glen Avon, until we found a postcard amongst an old photo album, which was from Louis John, Stuart's father, to Henry Mitford-Barberton! It turned out that these two gents were expert shots with rifles, and had competed against each other at the famous Bisley and Wimbledon shoots in England. They had obviously become 'friends' at the competions, and the offer made to Stuart to go to the 'family farm' in South Africa. Glen Avon was used as a training farm at the time.

He was a passenger on board the SCOT, a 4277 tonnage ship under Captain T J Bremner, departing from Southampton on 22 March 1902 for the Cape. Glen Avon was originally owned by Robert Hart, whose daughter Sarah Elizabeth married Robert Mitford Bowker, father of Oliver Osbaldiston Bowker. Whilst there he visited the farm Glen Craig, owned by Oliver Osbaldiston Bowker, and met Oliver's daughter, Vera whom he eventually married.

After John and Susie-Bell were born, the family moved firstly to Fonteinshoek farm, where they ran an Ostrich farm. When the Ostrich feather industry collapsed they sold, and moved to the Pretoria region to manage a farm for a Mr von Boskorten. They later moved to Lehau, Transvaal, where Stuart was employed as a farmer/manager on a George Marais' farm. see https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSKK-V9TW-R?i=569&cat=305287 fro Vera's genealogy report of the 1820 Settlers Centenary. Lehau siding is at -25.063535, 28.465606 on google maps. There does not appear to be any railway line in the area now (2016).

In 1920, he again moved, this time to his own farm, 'Egerton', at Settlers, Transvaal. They stayed at this farm for the best part of 30 years, and were hit by the drought in the late 1940s. John, his eldest son, took over the farm in 1950. Stuart and Vera moved to Arcadia in Pretoria, selling Insurance, and then to the farm Onverwacht at Nottingham Road, KwaZulu Natal, where Stuart was employed as an Estate Agent, specialising in farm sales in the area. They retired to Mooi River, KwaZulu Natal, in the early 1950s, and took in Susie-Bell's 4 children for the school holidays to help out Susie-Bell who was working in Pietermaritzburg at the time.

After Vera died in 1965, Stuart married Vera's sister Ella who was also widowed, and they moved to Welkom in the Free State to be closer to her family.

Found a Passenger list that has Louis John Aylward on board the Fort Salisbury on 10 August1912, sailing from London to Port Elizabeth. This was obviously a trip to see his first grandson, John who was born in June that year to Stuart and Vera.

Stuart Aylward wanted the money back as it was part of his inheritance. It seems that this loan and the repayment thereof was causing some dissent and the two sisters eventually paid back 2775.00 pounds. In the letter it states that in 1948 a house was bought so that Louis could be moved from hospital, where he'd been for 18 months following an operation to remove a leg, the Colvilles and Miss BD Carter had been persuaded by Louis to give up their flat and buy a house (27 Parkfield Avenue North Harrow) so that Louis would have a place to stay. The house cost 3450 pounds, 3000 of which was put up by Louis and the sisters put up their entire savings of 450 pounds to buy the house. In the will Louis states that the loan would be repaid without any interest. Shortly after the house was bought he then told them that he would be leaving for South Africa to live with his son.

John is stated as Head of the Household, Retired farmer. Sarah as wife; Louis John as Clerk in Stock Brokers.

Sarah Elizabeth was not listed at this household, her details were found through IGI searches, as well as corrections to middle names and dates of christenings.

Born 1809 in Capel St Mary Suffolk.

In the 1851 census John is with his first wife Elizabeth, and his occupation is listed as a farmer of 100 acres employing 6 men and 2 boys. In the same house he has a lodger William Edwin Back who was deaf and dumb from birth, a 24 year old female domestic servant, and an 18 year old lad as an Agricultural labourer, who could be one fo the 'boys' or men he employed. I suspect that this was at Church farm.

In 1861 he was farming on Church farm. Now with his second wife Sarah and their 2 eldest children. the son John from his first marriage could now have been a 25 year old and had left the home.

In 1871 he was now farming at Argent manor farm, on 200 acres employing 8 men. They had 2 domestic servants in the household, so reasonably wealthy. He still had William Edwin Back, deaf and dumb from birth, in their care.

By 1881 they had retired from farming in Suffolk and moved to 82 Finsbury Park road, Hornsey, Edmonton district in London.

Interesting re William Edwin Back, inthat he was just a few years younger than John, but he had lived with John and his families for about 40 years! I speculate and wonder if he was a relation? John could obviously communicate with him.
