Title: Who were Thomas Eyre's parents?
Post by: lotteex on Sunday 28 February 10 14:51 GMT (UK)

Searching for the birth and parent details of Thomas Eyre born around 1812 in Garthrop, though in the 1861 census it states birthplace as Ferry.

He married Letitia Brown from Ireland in Kingston upon Hull in 1836 and whilst his elder sons where born in Gainsborough, Epworth and Hull he finally moved by 1851 to Leeds.

I have located him and his family in the 1814, 1851 and 1861 census then loose Thomas and Letitia by 1871.

Any help appreciated especially the details of his birth and parentage

Many thanks

Lottee

Is Luddington close enough to Garthorpe?

It seems Garthorpe was part of Luddington parish http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/LIN/Luddington/

EDIT: Thomas and Sarah EYRE had at least 2 kids bap at Luddington, then parents with the same names had two bap at Owston a few years later.  Owston is/was often known as "Ferry".  Perhaps your Thomas remembered both places but wasn't sure which one of them he was born at.

Thanks Geoff

Will have a look at the website.  I haven't quite worked out how to use family search very well yet from scratch, ok when someone gives me a way in but hopeless doing it from scratch.  Need to read their guidance notes.

Mother: Sarah

Bap 1815 +/- 10

Take a look at www.freereg.org.uk, on the basic search put in Eyre - Lincolnshire - Owston and you will get a few baptism, marriages and burials. Some of Luddingtons records are also on.

Dear Both

Checking out your latest suggestions. Just as I was switching my light off last night I had a lght bulb moment with the info you sent Geoff.  Thomas wife - Sarah Ingram -  it suddenly dawned on me that their second son was named Ingram. The first son was named Thomas and first daughter was named Sarah.

In census for Thomas Eyre (born 1812) his occupation was hairdresser so perhaps carried on the profession?

Thanks Geoff, found them.  I had entered the wrong year for his birth.

Thanks for all your help.

Thanks for the hint, found loads of useful information. From knowing nothing of Thomas's history I have now collated a few more strings to this ever expanding bow.

Hi Lottee
Did you manage to get any further than Thomas Eyre & Sarah Ingram? This is as far as I've found up to now.
Letitia Eyre 1852 was my great great grandmother.
Thanks
David

Hello David

No I haven't progressed any further with her yet as I have have been concentrating elsewhere. Other than the info mentioned below that is about as much as I have.  Your Letitia 1852, I'm assuming, was the daughter of Thomas Eyre and Letitia Brown of Ireland, who married in Hull in 1835 and had 9 children.

If I find anything I can let ypu know

Yeah, I'd found all of that but not much more. I've hit a dead-end trying to find more about Letitia Brown too. Letitia Eyre 1852 married John Chappelow c1850 but I've struggled with his family as well.
Thanks
David

Did you find John D Chappelow in the 1851, 1871 and 1891 census?
