Hi Jeanette
I too am researching my Teear Family Members, I was suprised to find they originated from Leicestershire, I always thought they were Welsh as my mum is a Teear and came from Cardiff. I have only been going since September this year, but I have already found many Teears, especially from Husbands Bosworth, wicked name don't you think. Have a look at my tree Baldwin/Button/Teear/Roberts, it may be able to help. Nice to know someone else is also interested in the Teear Family and local too, I live in Nottingham email me if you like to talk.
