EYRE names of interest

SURNAMES of interest in the EYRE family tree;

Below are the SURNAMES that are of interest to me in the EYRE branch of my family tree, listed alphabetically  (for ease of searching). Where I can, I include a brief summery about each family name, or about individuals in that family; where they lived, their occupations, etc.

Clicking on the highlighted SURNAME will link you to any posts on this website that have been “tagged” as relating to that name. If a SURNAME tag appears to be “broken”, it could be that I haven’t (yet) posted anything onto aFamilyHistoryBlog about that family surname. You are welcome to contact me to check. I would appreciate being alerted if any tags/links aren’t working correctly. Thanks.

For a complete list of all SURNAMES of interest to me in all branches of my family, please see the Surnames of Interest page.

Alternative spelling variations will be shown in italics.

Notes;

Counties are abbreviated using the Chapman codes. All locations should be read as being located within the British Isles, unless another country is clearly stated. I have set the “dates of interest” quite broad, to try and cover one or more generations on either side of those that I already know of.

[i] [ii] [iii] [iv] [v] [vi] [vii] [viii] – represents the generation of my family tree that the person named belongs to, counting backwards. [i] = my Great Grandparents. [v] = my 5x Gt Grandparents.

At the end of each entry is a note about the kinds of sources that I have for that branch family;

  • [FP] = Family Papers, original documents, etc. I generally have high confidence in the accuracy of information from such original sources!
  • [MI] = Monumental inscriptions, (gravestones, etc.)
  • [PCR] = Parish and/or Census Records.
  • [PP] = Publications (books, newspapers, non-family websites, etc)
  • [TR] = Family Trees from other people (distant relations), on paper, or online.
  • [TBC] = To be confirmed – information that I’m cautious about! Records need checking & original sources finding!

* My sources;

 

A BUCKNALL family tree, and other family information – by Stephen BUCKNALL, 1994, among WALKER family papers.

St John’s Church, Upper Norwood – for details, from their old website, about Alfred James EYRE. See HERE (as long as their old website remains active!).

My apologies if I’ve missed any particular sources or credits that I should have given. I believe that these are my major sources.

(Sorry, I can’t find any notes right now as to the source of my information on the EYRE family line!!! Its probably all material from others within the family.)wordle-eyre-11-2017
