Tracy,
        This might be a mispelling for the Irish name for the 26 County state that is the Republic of Ireland. The spelling is Eire but the sound is similar to "air" with the sound of "e" on the end.

Sorry to be the one to tell  you but EIRE is the Irish spelling for the word Ireland.  What you really need to know is what county your relations came from, sometimes the census just shows Ireland/Eire or you may be lucky on a different census someone could say the actually county or town in Ireland.  Good luck with your search.
