Robert Pyrah

[norcam]

Looking for info on Norman De Livi Pyrah born of Robert and Rose?. They're are ties to a place called the Rise Farm in Pickering, Yorkshire. Norman died leaving a family in Canada with very little information about his past. Would be gratefully for any help.
Thank-you

Hi Norcam

Welcome to RootsChat! 

Could you give some idea of the dates involved please to narrow the search down?

Hello, I am so grateful to have someone respond I can't begin to tell you! As far as I can tell my father [Norman] must have been born around 1914. He was one of the children sent to Canada to work on the farms. He arrived in Canada in 1929 at the age of 15. I received some info. that he may have been born in Coventry, Warwickshire, however my Dad always told us he was born in Killkenny Ire. The tie to Rise farms seems to be a good one, because as a young girl I used to write to a girl there, who said said she knew of my dad's family.
Many thanks in advance for your help!

Hi Norma

Thanks for that. 

Ironically the fact that you are looking for relatively recent information (1914) makes it more difficult - census information is only available to 1901 at the moment.

There are a few Pyrah births, marriages and deaths listed on FreeBMD - try going to http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/ to do a search.  I couldn't immediately see the names you mention but you might spot something.

There are a couple of Robert Pyrah's I can see in the1901 census

Robert Pyrah 10  born Stockport, Lancashire Son living in Stockport  Cheshire   
Robert Pyrah 42  born Bradford, Yorkshire Head  living in Burnley  Lancashire 

Do either of these interest you?

Look forward to hearing from you.

Once again, thank-you very much!
It seems the closer you the farther away you are!
I'm sure the Rise farm in Pickering, Yorkshire holds the answer, I'll just have to see if anyone reads my plea's!

Hi Norma

I will see what I can find out next time I'm in Scarborough Library (my second home!  ) next time I'm in there.  They may have some info on the Pickering area as it is less than 20 miles from here.

Hi Norma

I couldn't find any reference to the surname PYRAH in the 1851 census index for Pickering I'm afraid.
