Possible death of the father/husband:
Thomas EYRE 36 - Mar Qtr 1872 - Sheffield
http://www.sheffieldindexers.com/BurialIndex.htmlEYRE, Thomas (Filesmith, age 36).
Died at Graystock Street/ Buried on January 4, 1872 in Consecrated ground/
Grave Number 14, Section F1 of Burngreave Cemetery, Sheffield.
In same grave are:
EYRE, Alfred age 1 (Son of John EYRE) bur 1861, died at Corby St,
EYRE, Helena age 8 days, (Dau of Thomas EYRE) bur 1862, died at 33 Marshall St.
EYRE, Thomas age 2 & half (son of Thomas EYRE), bur 1868, died at Greystock St
MASON, Jane age 48 (wife of George MASON), bur 1875, Died at 24 Andover Street
If you look at Norroy St on a map, you will see it's location in realtionship to streets Corby, Graystock, Saville .
I think the combined family of :
Widow Mary Ann EYRE with her unmarried children Mary, Ralph H, William & Charles, along with her married daughter:
Ann DARNELL & her husband Major & their childrenare all missing off the 1891 Census where by all accounts, they should be at 20 Norray Street. I can't find hide nor hair of any of them.
1891: District 48 Brightside Bierlow -contains the parts of Norroy Street lying between Greystock Street & Corby Street and is recorded in RG12/ Piece: 3834/ Folio 85/ Page 38 to page 40. Page 40 is the last page of that Folio and ends with 34 Norray. In all, even numbers 22 to 34 Norray are there and also odd numbers 23 to 31.
1891: District 47 Brightside Bierlow - seems to have the other part of Norray - the part which runs between Saville & Graystock. It ends with 18 Norray. No 20 and no 21 can I find. I suspect 20 may be on the cnr of Greystock - partly because of the address given for the Thomas EYRE who died 1872.
Possible death of the mother/wife:
Mary Ann EYRE 56 - Mar Qtr 1894 - Sheffield
So only the daughter Ann Eliza is producing descendants so far - her siblings Mary, Ralph Henry and Charles almost certainley had no children, going by what we see above.
If the Thomas EYRE who died 1872 is the right one, Charles can't be his son but that's not to say Thomas' widow isn't the mother - Mary Ann would have been around 40 when Charles was born and older mothers have a higher chance of a Downs Syndrome baby which Charles may well have been - tagged as he was with the 'label' imbecile? Then again - - I wonder if Charles was the illigitimate son of the daughter Mary, passed off as her brother?
Which leaves the last known sibling, William b abt 1870 to look at..
