Update:

The previous post captured Ayling names in the 1641 Protestation using a search engine that was not getting all names. So I went through each page and pulled them all out:

These are in volume 23 of the Sussex Records Society. https://openlibrary.org/books/OL14036606M/Publications. A requirement by parliament for all males over the age of 18 to state their “allegiance” to the Protestant faith. This presents a fairly accurate adult male population of each parish with almost exactly 50 Ayling males in West Sussex on February 20th, 1641.

Organized below based on most numbers of Aylings per parish.

I have this info on a map on the ancestry.com message boards under surname “Ayling”.
