“William sonne of Larrance Ayleward was buried march 18th 1638”
(this child could have been the son of a third marriage or the son of Jane- she may well have died in childbirth, and the baptisim not recorded because)

Image 99, 1659
“Larrence Aylard buried February 29th 1659” This is probably our Laurence he would be 76 which is getting on but not at all impossible

Notes for 1659 being a leap year
Because of the move of New Year€™s day from March to January, February, wherein fall Leap Days, is unfortunately placed in that ambiguous two-month span that falls in different years on the two calendars. This caused Leap Day to occur a year apart on the two calendars, 29 Feb 1660 (NS) vs 29 Feb 1660 (OS). The first is 29 Feb 1659/60 and the second is 29 Feb 1660/61.
Furthermore, the two calendars are one day out of synch for the intervening year. The Leap Day 29 Feb 1660 (NS), is 1 Mar (OS).
