Hello Virginia,
I do have a Thomas Teears in my files. He was my grandfather's youngest brother. Thomas was the youngest of 13 children born to Thomas Teears and Ada Lenton Sparry Teears. He was born in March, 1911 when Ada was 52 years old. He died young, at the age of 47, in December of 1958. I have very little information on him but I do have a lot of info on the Teears family. Thomas Teears (Senior) and Ada came to the U.S. through Canada. Most of the children were born in Philadelphia, where they lived for a time before moving across the river to Camden City and Gloucester City. There were Lentons who lived in Gloucester City as well. I have a feeling that your Thomas and my Thomas are one and the same because of his middle name. I have a lot of info that I could either snail mail to you or email to you if you are interested. I do have one question, though, what is your mother's name? My mother is very interested in hearing about your mother because she was unaware that Thomas had any children, and she would like to contact your mother if possible. It would be nice to find some long lost cousins after such a long time.
