Re: Esther Jane Teare, b.1833 IOM
In Response To: Esther Jane Teare, b.1833 IOM ()

Hi George,

There appear to be 2 baptisms in the IGI for an Esther Jane Tear/e in Ramsey both with the same parents:

14 March 1832 Ramsey parents Robert Tear & Margaret Curphey

4 April 1833 Ramsey parents Robt Tear & Margt Curphey

It could be that the first Esther died and the next child they named after the desceased one, which was often done. However I could not find a burial for the first Esther on Brian Lawsons Burial index,

Or it could be that the 2 baptisms are for the same child.

Other siblings of Esther Jane which I found on the IGI are:
Margaret bp 17 Nov 1830 Ramsey
Margaret bp 17 Ap 1835 Ramsey
Robert bp 23 July 1837 Ramsey
John bp 3 Feb 1838 or 1839 Ramsey
Catherine bp 13 July 1841 Ramsey
Mary Ann bp 30 June 1844 Ramsey

A possible marriage for Robert Tear and Margaret (although the surname for Margaret is decidedly wrong in spelling... it was the only one I could find in the date period and Maughold is next to Ramsey.)

Robert Tear married Margaret Emphey!! 29 May 1830 Maughold

Hope this helps

Elizabeth
