Re: book

barbeyre2006 — 2012-04-18 21:37:40Z

No, I wish I would have gotten a copy or something.

My distant cousins in Ireland and I have strong suspicions that our EYRE line went with Cromwell over to Ireland and got lands in Co. Wexford ... that is where my g-g-grandfather and siblings were born. Then g-g-grandfather moved to Co. Kilkenny and had a family.

We have yet to find any connection to the Galway EYREs, as we know Col. Giles Eyre did acquire lands in Co. Wexford during the time of Cromwell.

While I have found a list of Eyre soldiers (of various ranks) who have come from England to Ireland in and about Cromwell's time ... we have found no link to either of them.

We're stumped and we are desperately looking for leads anywhere to help us.

What are the dates for your William Henry? Do you know how many william eyre's there were? Who was his father?

Not my Frederick.

Re: Eyre family name

marjorieeyre — 2012-04-18 20:18:08Z

My William Henry was from Michigan born around 1890. There is another William born 1811 I am connected to. So don't think we link.

Hi Jill,

I just sent you a friend request on facebook. I am related to the Dawson Family here in the US. Marilyn Vaughn is a cousin of mine. I was thinking I should let you know who I am in case you were wondering who this strange person, requesting me to be her friend on facebook! Recently, I have been working on our family genealogy and came across your name. It looks like your husband Richard Orme, is the great great grandson of Matthew Dawson junior.

I would love to have you as a contact person!

Thanks so much,

John Eyre, Eyrecourt Castle, co Galway, Ireland. funeral 1856

swresearch — 2011-11-06 03:46:49Z

FUNERAL OF THE LATE JOHN EYRE, ESQ.
The deceased Mr. Eyre was first cousin to Mr. Blake, of Balmain (N.S.W., Australia).
(Newspaper Sydney Morning Herald, N.S.W., Australia,22 July 1856 p.3,
From Saunders' Newsletter.)
Ballinasloe, (Ireland) Thursday Night, 21st February (1856)
According to arrangement, the funeral obsequies of late John Eyre were performed to-day. Three o'clock had been named as the precise time at which the funeral cortege would leave the castle, but longbefore that hour the various avenues to the family mansion of the deceased were densely filled by bodies of the Eyrecourt tenantry, and masses of the surrounding peasantry of both sexes.
The town of Eyrecourt seemed enveloped in a cloud of gloom : heartfelt sorrow was depicted in every countenance, and business was entirely suspended, every shop having remained closed since the time of the melancholy occurrence.
The Eyre family are of very ancient origin, and related to many of the leading houses of Galway and the King's county, Ireland. The progenitor of the line in Ireland got possession of the property in the reign of William the Conqueror, and the estates descended regularly from father to son until the time of the late Lord Eyre, who had two daughters, who died without issue.
The property then passed into the hands of a collateral branch - the late Lieutenant-Colonel Eyre, father of the deceased. A large amount of incumbrances fell on the Eyre property, in consequence of the electioneering tendencies, and other similar propensities of the late Colonel Eyre, and out of thirty two thousand green acres, besides bog and mountain, but a comparatively small portion remained to the present inheritors.
The deceased came by his death on Monday last while hunting his own pack, a sport he had a great delight in. His horse stumbled in attempting a leap of no great magnitude, and the rider having been suddenly unseated was precipitated to the ground, causing dislocation of the neck, and instantaneous death.
Mr. Eyre's huntsman was the first to come to his assistance, and almost immediately after, his son, Captain John Eyre, late of the Galway Militia. When it was found that the gallant spirit which oft led the sport of the field had fled for ever, great was the sorrow and dismay which pervaded a numerous meet.
The remains were conveyed to Kill Lodge, the seat of John P. Geoghegan, Esq., and subsequently in the carriage of Captain Burrill, to Eyrecourt Castle.
It was agreed that no carriages should be allowed to enter the lawn, and at three o'clock, when the mournful procession left the castle, there could not have been less than six thousand persons on foot within the precincts of the demesne.
The principal gentry of the King's County and Galway were either present or represented on the occasion.
The remains of the deceased were interred in the family vault in Eyrecourt Churchyard. The Burial Service was read by the Rev. B. R. Eyre, assisted by the Rev. Mr. Wilson.
Amongst those present on the occasion were -
John Eyre, Esq., and Marmaduke Eyre, Esq., sons of the deceased.
John Eyre, Esq , Hassop Park.
Rev. R. B. Eyre, and Robert Eyre, Esq., Earlston, relatives.
Thomas Stratford Eyre, Esq.

My great grand parents were, Daniel Eyre born 1860 in Australia and his wife Annie Maude Campbell born 1867 in Fiji.I am only just starting out on my quest to find my family and am finding it very interesting so far.Iam still trying to find my way around my computer, so its all going a bit slow at the moment.
Thanks again

Hi,

I'm currently in the process of updating branches on the site and this is one that is on my list to be updated shortly, including a couple of small photos of individuals taken from Dan Eyres book (Before anyone asks No I don't know how to get a copy)

An old version of Dans site has the following on this couple
http://web.archive.org/web/20050622142857/http://www.standar...

Please let me know how you fit into the site I'll see what I can do to incorporate your details into the new branch I'm working on (No need for details on the living as these are privatised on the site - Initials with no dates allow individuals to find themselves on the site but are of no use to those attempting to steal ID's).

Contact me by clicking on the Bob Eyre link on the following page http://www.eyrehistory.net/contributors.php

I'm in contact with a few others researchers from the same branch and can put you in contact with each other.

Regards,

Bob

Hello Lynne,
I read your post to your cousin Larry. Can you tell me how you are related? Are you descended from John Vindin or Viola Vindin? I am in now way related to the Eyre or Vindin Families. My research interest is in Gladstone Eyre, portrait and landscape painter and his association with Henry Lawson.

Re: William EYRE property developer, Leura, NSW, Australia 1890s

Hi Lynne,
Very long time no see - hope you are well. I have a bunch of information on the Vindin side but the Eyre side has been difficult. I've got a heap of information from a chap who is chasing your dad's phone number. I keep missing your mum and dad when they visit mum.
You might want to reply by email and send your details so we can keep in touch and I can send you what I have.

Hope to hear from you soon and your idea to find out more about Henry Lawson.

Did they actually live together in a small house in North Sydney or not the question has been driving my crazy! I remember the stories also. I have an idea about how it may be possible to find an answer. See you at Mum's 80th Birthday.

Reginald and Margaret were living in Glen Eden, Auckland in 1935. Believe son Wallace Arnold Richard born 1919, died 1999. Would love to contact any descendants to exchange information.

You realize, of course, that the ancestry of John le EYRE and earlier are going to be speculation w/little to no primary documentation?

Have you contacted the Essex Regiment Museum? Often times the museums have the records of the regiment. From them you should be able to ascertain the C.O.

OBIT EYRE Caroline 1922 Quaker Norristown Pennsylvania

SueAnnRobson — 2010-03-14 19:08:30Z

From the Philadelphia Inquirer dated 03 Jul 1922:

EYRE - at Norristown PA 7th month 1st Inst. CAROLINE EYRE, aged 76. Relatives and friends invited to services at Friend's Home Swede and Powell sts. Norristown PA 4th day 2:30 P.M.

Note: This lady was a member of the Society of Friends (Quaker). Hint...Quakers don't use the words Monday, Tuesday, etc because they were named for Pagan Gods. Same is true for the months of the year. Translation therefore, "7th month 1st inst" means Caroline died on July 1 and "4th day at 2:30 P.M." means services will take place on Wednesday at 2:30 P.M..

I am not related to the deceased.
30 P.M."
