It's worth noticing that , in Dorset at least , the EYRES name was written down with every conceivable spelling - the differences are not real , so look for EYERS , AYRES , AYERS , EARS , EARES , EYEARS , EYARS , EAYERS , EAYEARS , EYEARES as well .
There is an active EYERS message board , like this one , which is worth a visit .
I am currently researching all EYERS etc names in Dorset , England , pre 1881 and welcome information.
