I'm looking for a record of a John TYE - professional cricketer. He had a relationship/marriage with a Sarah Mullen who was born in Aidrie Scotland (New Monkland) but came from Ireland originally. She settled in Preston Lancashire. I have found her on a few census returns but can't find him with her.
I know she had a son John TYE born in Bury in 1876 - his father is down as John TYE (occ Cricketer) or even Reginald John TYE (occ deceased Cricketer when John married Annie HODGSON in 1897) depending on which record we look at. However I can verify he was a professional cricketer as a relative (our gramps TYE who is 95) can remember them talking about this as well - and even said that this John TYE played against W Grace. However I can't find any trace of him. There is a John TYE died 1905 who was a cricketer but I can't link the two.
Can anyone help me with tracking down John TYE senior ie the cricketer?
