:)Good Morning Richard,
It's Sunday morning here in the good old USA. My wife's maiden name was Brain. However, her mother's maiden was Tearle. Now here's a kicker for you, her mothers grandfather was Frederick George Tearle and her grandmother was Mary Susanna (Longhurst) Tearle. They were living in Croydon, Surrey at the time. This data was taken from a bith certificate registered at Somerset House, London in 1893 for their son Percy Charles Tearle (dob 3-5-1893). I've not done any research on the Tearles in the USA todate but I shall have a look about and see what I can fine. My name is Holliday. Most people call me Doc. I have 14 generations Hollidays and 14 generations of McClintocks, 10 generations of Gowers and 5 generations of Kneebones. The way the Hollidays and the McClintocks intermarried, it's a wonder any of us can read or write. I have approx 5 generations of Tearles at the moment. I'm expecting some additional data from England within the next few week and I shall keep you posted on my research. Keep the Faith.
Best Regards.
Doc Holliday
PS: Todate I have not found any connection between the infamous Doc Holliday (of the old West) and myself. However, I do continue to do a bit of looking from time to time.
