Hi Mandy and Reed - and my thanks to Tazzie for mentioning the Tearle Group.
All of you are more than welcome as you have Tearle somewhere in your tree. The group contains files and photographs and a lot of general information. The Tree that Tazzie mentions is well over a hundred pages when laid out, but has been broken down into various branches - and that has been after Ewart has changed formats to make it a little bit more managable! These are all available for download. Discussion is lively and there are a number of members who are more than willing to share their knowledge and findings with newcomers. There are plans afoot to have our second Tearle Meet in Stanbridge in July - see group for more details as well as reports and photos from the first 2 years ago.
I really do hope to see you all there....
My own line goes back to Richard abd Elizabeth Bosworth, so we have a mutual interest there.
Cheers
Richard

Hi Mazm - don't know if you are still researching the Tearles of Bedfordshire. If you are, I have a Yahoo group with lots of details including an ongoing Family Tree - the branch you are looking for may be on there. Have a look at out front page and if you think joining may be useful to you, please feel free and get access to all files and photos there. Also ask any questions you may have - we have some experts here!
All is quite free, by the way!
Chers

Hi Samuel - me again! In my enthusiasm to tell you about the group etc, I clean forgot your question about Sussex Tearles: whilst ALL of us come from Stanbridge roots, migration has been rife in the last century or so. I don't have any real details of Sussex Tearles except that one, Michael Tearle, lives in Lewes which I believe is not too far from you! The extra good news is that he is a member of the group and if you are able to join you can either contact him through the group or get his e-mail address from there.
Cheers

Ho Doc - that's great news! Look forward to seeing the fruits of your labours - its been rather quiet in the group lately!

Hi Doc - thanks for the info; sounds like a lovely story!! I think the other members would like to see the run down of your tree as you know it - there may be some who might be able to add further. I know Rosemary has come to a bit of a dead end as it appears that a George Tearle married an Elizabeth Tearle somewhere in her family back in the mists of time but she can find no evidence of that.
Surprising you not getting very far with the Kneebones: an unusual name, certainly. I have only come across it once before and I'm sorry to say it made me laugh - not because of the strangeness of the name, but because the lady in question was the landlady of a public house called - The Joiners Arms. My apologies for my SOH!
Cheers
Richard
