Anyone out there who is a Lyas or married a Lyas would you have answers to the following.

Ernest Douglas Lyas b 1902 d 1985 Stowmarket married Ivy Maud Chandler b 1905 d 1989 Stowmarket. Fact.

My question is did Ernest have siblings Robert, Emma and Eliza and was their father Henry Lyas born 1860 and did he marry Hannah but which Hannah.

I only remember Ernie and Ivy (nana and grandad) their son Douglas Ernest (known as Ernie) and his sister Brenda who married Peter Beer and had a son out in Cyprus called Craig. I have no recollection of Grandads brother and sisters.

Any help would be appreciated as looking on BDM's, Census etc I need to know the answers as fact.

Thank you in advance for any time and help

Fiona :-D

Reggie - Sorry and Thank you for your time but I did say I had been looking on BDM's Census etc and needed to know the info I had was fact .

Brummiejan - Thank you and I did see that as well.

Both of you - I was hoping for a Lyas to 'pop up' as grandad supposedly had one brother Robert who carried on the line.

The ONLY way to be sure that anything is a fact is to spend money on certs

GR members can only post info found on line...........we can't say whether it is accurate........or not.

Thanks once again everyone

Barry - had a look at the tree and will be making contact thank you.

Reggie - Ernest Douglas was grandfather and Douglas Ernest was son but always known as Ernie. I am trying to get my little brother to go through boxes of documents and paperwork that he has to see if ha can find any certificates and such like.

Brummiejan - Ernest Douglas and Ivy Maud are definite names as we had them put on gravestones.

Chris Ho - thanks for info and probably buried in same cemetery as nana and grandad and only managed to get half done when last 'graveyard hopping'.

You may have put 'Douglas' on the gravestone, but the name does not appear on any OFFICIAL online records about the man.

Any comment on the info about ROBERT?

FionaB Report 27 Nov 2012 17:11

Hi Reggie

I will have to look into Robert more deeply thank you.

btw it was always an in family joke that Grandad was vain enough to name his son the opposite way round to his own hence Ernest Douglas and Douglas Ernest. Brenda (sister of Douglas Ernest) was always relieved that she was not named Maud Ivy. ha ha

Once again thanks for your time and effort

Fiona :-D
