| RMMee Moderator Quote | Reply | | Sparrow Row posted on: 5/7/2005 1:39:36 AM Stan Charlton, who visits this site but is not a contributor at present, is interested in any information about Sparrow Row, Langley Mill. Sparrow Row was on Milnhay Road, roughly halfway between Elnor Street and Milnhay House (on the same side of the road as these). In the 1920's, it consisted of two cottages (thatched), occupied by the Bestwicks (the furthest cottage) and the Eyres. Stan is the son of Walter Eyre-Charlton, and his wife Lydia (nee Holmes, of Ripley) who lived there. Any information, or maps or photographs, would be gratefully received and passed on to Stan. |

replied on: 5/7/2005 11:00:50 PM On Family History section-Eyre family research-Peter Chamberlain has posted about 2 Eyre families he remembers on Milnhay Rd- and 2 Eyre sisters who ran a shop across the road from where they lived-maybe Peter has knowledge of Sparrow Row?? I have come across the name before in my Eyre family research-by the way the Eyres married into the Bestwick family! |

replied on: 5/19/2005 8:27:54 PM Just checked and it is Jan 1896 when she lived ay Milnhay Terrace-from her marriage certificate. She was Mary Jane Cripps-her parents were John and Susannah Cripps. She was the second wife of William Henry Harriman-he lived at Laceyfields Rd at the time of their marriage. They eventually lived at Station Rd Langley Mill. Mary Jane was a milliner and taught the well known Nellie Outram her trade! |

replied on: 8/6/2005 5:32:45 AM I have in my EYRE family research FRANCIS ALFRED EYRE b. 21 Mar 1870 Mil Hay-married 7 Jun 1892 St Johns Aldercar to Annie Charlton -father John Charlton ,Miner, witnesses Reuben Charlton and Sarah Hannah Chester. In 1899 they were living on Sparrow Row. I have only found 2 children for them so farJOHN FRANCIS EYRE christened 4 Oct 1899 and SARAH ANN AGNES EYRE c. 8 may 1901-married 28 Dec 1928 St Andrews langley Mill to ARTHUR BROWN.Maybe you could fill me in on their other children? Electoral Roll 1949 shows living at 3Milnhay Rd FRANCIS ALFRED EYRE, JESSIE EYRE(would this be Jessie who kept the shop?) and SARAH A.A.BROWN. Maybe this should be on fam hist topic. If you are interested in the EYRE's ask Robert for my e mail and I can send you lots more info. Suz |

replied on: 8/6/2005 11:24:25 AM Hi Peter, have edited previous posting-early morning typing error-it is no 3 -unfortunately I dont have all the electoral roll, (their roll numbers were 937-939) just my family names!On Milnhay Rd topic you mention the sisters had a niece called Painter-was that her surname, as jessie had a niece called Jean painter. Could the other sister have been Sarah Agnes? As Sarah Agnes Brown who lived with them in 1949 was Jessie's widowed sister?Also Abel and Hannah Eyre lived at 50 Millnay in 1949 Suz |
