Looking for ancestors and relatives of William Teer (teare)b. 1854 IOM Carpenter.....married ? Elizabeth Scofield - Taylor , children Jim, Lillian, Ethel and Frank b.22/3/1904.

William and family Immigrated to Manchester some time in the middle of the 19th century. Apparently they fell out with the rest of the family who lived in Peel, I.O.M and apparently changed their name from Teare to Teer ( and inherited a curse ).

Interestingly enough, I have found there is a grave in Kirk Malew of a Margaret Teer nee Quayle, wife of William Teer of Balla-Wiggin. She died Jan 27th 1795, aged 60. ( so maybe William is descended from her, and a name change never took place...???). There are also two graves marked Thomas and William Tear dated 1720.

If any one has any information on either William, or even of Margaret could you please let me know. With all the Teares, Tears, and Teers, not to mention al the Williams I have come across, I am starting to get a little confused....LOL!
Thanking in advance,
Jackie Teer
