Hi Magnolia Fan
Now, Robert Kearn was born 11.11.1821 and was baptised at St. Marys Parish Church, Tyberton, he was the son of George b. 1796 & Ann Kearn (Karn) who had married at St. Marys on the 19.8.1813.
Robert Kearn married Mary Pugh at the same Church on the 18.7.1842 they had several children, including my Great Grandmother Eliza Kearn b. 20.11.1845. Robert Kearn was Gardener at Tyberton Court which had been built in 1728, included in the property was the Manor House, three farms with cottages belonging to the Lord of the Manor, Blacksmiths, Carpenters, Woodmen, and servants, all drawn from the village of Tyberton - the village had 157 people and was a self sufficient community.
Robert's wife Mary died in 1853 and he remarried in 1855 to Caroline Meek, they had more children, lived at various places around the area, and by 1886 census aged 66 years, he was living at the Smith's Shop. Robert Kearn died in 1886 and was buried at St. Mary's Church Tyberton, where his grave still stands.
G Grandmother Eliza Kearn worked as a Servant at the Church House at Madley before she moved to Hereford and her marriage to William Gwilliam in 1868 .
I do have photos of the grave, the workhouses etc. if you would like copies of these, more recent photos though.
If you have further information to give me, would really appreciate that, as we were totally surprised to find Robert's grave at the Churchyard when we visited in 2010. I wonder now whether George Kearn (his father) was also buried there. Would love any new information to include in my family history.
cheers jan
