In an earlier posting you mentioned that Charlotte Teare became a widow ... do you have a death date for William, - must have been after 1762 at least - there are several William's in the list at Brian Lawsons site for Braddan.... so if you know if would help eliminate. Thanks.

You mentioned that Charlotte went "across" to live... do you know when & where?

Of the 13 children of William & Charlotte Teare,
I have 6 sons surviving at least past childhood..

William Teare bp 1749
John Teare bp 1750
Robert Teare bp 1752
Edward Teare bp 1756
Thomas Teare bp 1758
Paul Teare bp 1762
All at St Matthews Douglas

I will attempt to sort out some potential marriages then baptisms for descendants through the IGI as a starting point, knowing its inaccuracies of course.... and with common names like William, John & Thomas care will be necessary.

Do you know if this Teare family connect with the Teares in Thomas Teares family history a/c of 1888 at Frances' site.

Thank you

Elizabeth
