Wiltshire Completed Lookup Requests / Re: William and Philip EYRES Amesbury 1806-1815
« on: Sunday 07 March 21 18:24 GMT (UK) »
Hello
I am descended from Philip Eyres and I had wondered the same thing. I know your post was a long time ago so you have probably done further work on this now. I think they are cousins:
Philip Baptised 04 May 1794 Amesbury son of Robert & Elizabeth nee Want
Robert Baptised date 20 May 1758 Amesbury son of Robert & Elizabeth nee Hicks
William Eyres Baptised 3 January 1802 Amesbury son of William and Mary
The bit I'm assuming is that the father William = William Baptised 25 May 1765 son of Robert & Elizabeth nee Hicks. I haven't been able to find William and Mary's marriage.
I've just ordered Philip's will; I don't suppose it will throw any further light on this question, but he married 3 times in the end. If you have any further info on the Eyres do let me know!
