I just thought the EYRE part might help me find what happened to him :(

Cando, do you have any idea what the MMB would mean?

I beleive he was born in 1831... his marriage certificate has him 31 in 1863 and born in Torquay, Devonshire England.

His parents names were John Williams and Ann Goodenough.

Would you be able to help me with one more thing Cando...

On the death certificate, it has that his daughter May (who I have as Agnes May) is deceased... can you possibly find out when she died? She was born in 1873 and was the elder of twins.

Thanks

OK.

I have checked all my ancestors notes and they were known simply as Licensed Surveyors.

I can't see a death for a May/Agnes May Williams to 1910.  I will have to search later as it is time to turn into a domestic goddess :P

Have you these deaths?

I still wonder why he was John Williams Eyre in the newspaper article?
