Oliver Cromwell Pyrah is the son of Simeon King Pyrah. My guess is that Oliver was named after a locomotive as his father was a railway porter.

Thanks Nessie. I have Pyrahs on the 1881 census at Dewsbury Road, THORNHILL. I think there must be a Scargill/Pyrah marriage somewhere?

I'm interested in Nessie's Pyrah and Merab twins as the Pyrah family is a line that I am following. Could you tell me if the Pyrah Christen name is followed by Whitaker, Scargill, Heyes or Charlton and what year? I am thinking that the Christen name comes from an earlier Pyrah marriage.

I have followed with interest Norcam's search for Robert Pyrah. I think you might find he is Robert, the son of Festus & Emma Pyrah, born in Stockport 1891.
Ticker spotted him in 1901 census -
Robert Pyrah 10 born Stockport, Lancashire Son living in Stockport Cheshire -
Festus & family moved from Bradford to Heaton Norris, Lancashire shortly before 1881.
From the information posted, Robert Pyrah would have been about 23 when Norman Pyrah was born in 1914.
I have no record of Robert Pyrah's marriage but I would like to bet that he married Rose in Stockport about 1912-13 and their first son is Norman Pyrah.
