Daniel TEAR & Elinor TEAR married in Andreas on 13 Aug 1732.
Elinor was probably Ellin TEAR bapt. 2 March 1706 dau of Daniel TEAR, Andreas, underage in her father's 1718 will. In this will he mentions his farm of BallaCrenilt, yet his two elder daughters Jony and Alice were in Andreas Confirmations in 1718 as daurs of Dan: Tear, Smeal.
There was also a John Tear at Smeale (will 1722) with a daughter Nelly, but she was a couple of years older.
Does anyone have the Teare, Smeale, line, and the names of their wives?
Elinor's husband Daniel TEAR was bapt 17 Mar 1706 son of John TEAR, Andreas.
Daniel's father "John Tear (Harry)" died 26 August 1727 (his decree named son Daniel and daughter Alice).
Can anyone throw any light on what the "Harry" referred to?
There was a "Harry's Croft" to the south of Ballaclucas, near the Jurby border.
Children of Elinor (Ellin) Tear and Daniel Tear, bapt Andreas, were:
Joney b. 30 Nov. 1733 marr. 24 July 1762 William RADCLIFFE
John b. 19 Oct 1736; bur. 1 Feb 1741
Eleanor b. 6 Nov 1739. Elinr infant daughr of Dan: Tear bur. Nov.8 [1739]
Nelly b. 10 March 1741 marr. Richard CHRISTIAN 31 Jan 1761 Andreas with consent of parents.
Margaret b. 3 June 1742; bur. 5 June 1742
Margaret b. 25 Oct 1744; marr. 27 Feb 1768 Ewan KINRY
The last child was recorded in the Andreas register as Catharine daur of Daniel Teare (Harrey) bapt 19 Aug 1750.
"Daniel Teare (Harry)" was buried 4 Apr 1758, Andreas, and in his will mentioned house and land in Balla-Quayn, the parcel of land called the Lough, and land in Lezayre called Cother's Close or Close e Cottire which he left to his daughter Ellinor, who in 1802 left this same Lezayre land to her daughter Ann Christian.
In the 1757 visitation of Andreas they appeared to be living near the Dhowin and Smeale. D.S. Dugdale recorded them as being at the quarterland Johneoism, otherwise The Cronk, originally recorded as occupied by Don (Dan?) Tear.
But I can't see what "Harry" refers to!
Does anyone have information about either of these (related?) Teare families?
Thanks,
Sue
