Note spelling change of last name from Aylward to Elward. According to my Grandmother, Agnes Elward Warnock, the Aylward family originated in Spain, perhaps sailing to Ireland with the Spanish Armada in 1588. Decendants of these marooned Spanish sailors are referred to as the "Black Irish". in Ireland.
