Hi Chris,
There is a John Eyre in my family tree that died in 1856. He died in a hunting accident and was buried Feb 21, 1856. Online there is a newspaper write up about the accident and all those who attended.
This John Eyre was the husband to Mary Armit a sister to my husband's direct descendant. I am trying to trace a possible daughter of theirs, Charlotte Eyre.
Let me know if you need some assistance, or if you have any information on a Charlotte Eyre.
Nancy
