hey Brian,
Hainsworth / Ainsworth from Yorkshire
I was born in Yorkshire but I have lived in Australia since I was 13, long time ago. I have a clear memory of a conversation between a couple of my relatives from back then. It was about the reason for the Hainsworth vs Ainsworth name change. One aunty was very definite it was something to do with the Heugonot's (check spelling lol)fleeing from France. Don't know anything else but she seemed quite positive about it.
Cheers!
