Cumberland / Tear family of Whitehaven, help needed
« on: Wednesday 03 October 18 16:44 BST (UK) »
I am looking for help with the Tear family of Whitehaven, Cumberland.
I have details of Martha Tear 1831 who married William Pharaoh. Her parents were James and Ann Tear.
I am looking for details of her family. I think two of her brothers, James 1821 and Robert 1827 were killed in a mining accident in 1839. In 1841 Martha and her sister Sarah 1837 were in the workhouse but with no other members of their family. Their mother Ann may have died in 1837. Other siblings are Elizabeth 1824, George 1824, Eleanor 1825. I have no other details of parents or the children. Cant find any in 1841. I do not know what happened to the father James Tear.
