Father William Ayling (1825-1908) of Houghton. William died on the 10th December 1908 in Houghton of Gout and Nephritis. His effects totaled £3203 8s 2d. This is about £300,000 in today’s money. William is buried in St Nicholas Churchyard, Houghton.
His father John Ayling (1801-1845) of Houghton. This is likely him (or perhaps his own father, also called John):

Note that William Ayling's son was William Cunningham Ayling (1866-1926).
John's father, John Ayling (1773-1848) of Houghton. His father John Ayling (1749-1827) of Houghton. This is likely him:

John's father, John Ayling/Aylwin (D. 1787) of Houghton. He was the last person of the line to use the surname Aylwin in the parish records. However, this was likely a clerk error, with the above judicial proceeding likely more accurate with the plaintiff/defendant stating their names and having it repeated back for accuracy.
The lines can be traced fairly reliably back to a John Ayling, deceased 1721 in Houghton. No baptism record for John in Houghton. There is a Robert, son to John, baptised in 1681. I am guessing that, given name, location and age, that John was a sibling and born around the same time. In other words, John (D. 1721) was possible the son of a John Ayling/Aylwin, likely born somewhere around 1650. Perhaps in nearby Arundel. Of course, we are into the Civil War period at that point with disruptions in record keeping (eg. there is no surviving Protestation Return in 1642 for Arundel).
Ayling and Aylwin were often used interchangeably pre-1750 (same as in my family line). We don't know John's origins, but based on YDNA testing of 20 Ayling men, ancestors all over West Sussex and including a descendant of John of Houghton, the closest match is to the branch in Stedham. John's ancestry probably merges there in the 1500s, but we don't know the path that end up in Houghton.
The entire family group is on my Ancestry tree "Aylings of Houghton/South Stoke, Sussex Family Tree".
A branch of this family remains in Houghton and runs a bed-and-breakfast there.
