| c1800 - 1853 | Benjamin EYRE | Living in Lincolnshire from his getting married in 1820s to his death in 1853 Ben gave only 2 places for his place of birth. 1841 census states Lincolnshire, 1851 states Oldham Lancashire. I've managed to find a Benjamin Eayers being baptised around the correct time in Oldham but the parish records do not contain any other Eyres 5 years either way. I don't know if his parents originally came from Oldham then moved to Lincolnshire, if they moved to Oldham baptised Ben then moved back to Lincolnshire, if they died and he went to live with relatives in Lincolnshire, or if he moved as a young man. | |
| d 1893 | Dorothy Rose EYRE and George Henry EYRE | There were two outbreaks of typhoid fever in Worthing, West Sussex in 1893 from which 186 people died, but a list of the victims does not exist. Working from the Burial Register for the Broadwater & Worthing Cemetery, I have identified two EYRE burials occurring during the 2nd phase of the epidemic which appear to be related, despite the confusion of occupations.
They are for George EYRE, a Printer of 24 Orme Road aged 26 who was buried on 31 Jul 1893; and on 14 Jul 1893, Dorothy Rose EYRE aged 15 months, the daur of George Henry EYRE, a Painter also of 24 Orme Road. If anyone has any information about this family, I would be grateful if they would contact me. Marion Woolgar |

| c1730? | Gillingham EYRE | I am interested in a Rev Thomas Eyre who married Rebecca d. of Rev Roger Gillingham of Little Shelford, Cambs at Wimbish, Essex on 20 July 1736. I strongly suspect, given the use of the surname Gillingham as a Christian name, that Gillingham Eyre who married Sarah Dickerson at St Lawrence Jewry in London in 1763 was their son. Any confirmation of this would be much appreciated. | |
| 28th Sept 1916 | Stanley Herbert EYRE | I am seeking any family or acquaintances of Stanley Herbert Eyre who was born on 28 Sep 1916. Before the war, Mr. Eyre lived at 18 Theilmere Ave, Litherland, Liverpool and was involved in financial auditing. During WWII he was a Sgt. in 207 Squadron RAF. Sgt. Eyre, three other RAF, one Royal Navy, one RCAF and two USAAF airmen (incl. my father) were all shot down over Europe at various times in WW-II and made their way to Switzerland. In early 1944, the group escaped to Spain. Sgt. Eyre left Gibralter and arrived at Bristol on 25 Feb 1944 and no one seems to have heard from him since. I am editing an account of the aforementioned escape and would like to find out if he ever wrote of it. Any person having knowledge of Mr. Eyre either before or after the war is requested to contact me. |

| 1910 - 1988 | Frank EYRE | I am seeking information and family of Frank Eyre 1910-1988. I believe him to have been born in England where he certainly lived until 1946 when he emigrated to Australia and lived until his death in 1988. We know him to have worked for the Oxford University Press in Melbourne and believe that he may posibly have married a lady called Muriel while in Australia. Any information about Frank and any family in England, Australia or elsewhere would be much appreciated. | |
| 1648 - 1708 | Robert EYRE | Family lore and printed history credit this Robert EYRE as having been born 30 Jan 1648/49 and that he was apprenticed to a William ROGERS, merchant of Bristol (England). Supposedly he made several sea trips as a supercargo before settling in Bethel twp, Chester (now Delaware) cnty, Pennsylvania. c 1682 where he served as a Clerk of the Court for several years. He md: Ann SMITH, dtr of Francis SMITH, gentleman of Devizes, Wiltshire, England who also immigrated to Chester cnty, PA.
