Of Charles Hare/ Eayers/ Eyers on 1841 census I have him age 2 with Lucy Eyers age 20 possibly his mother they were in the workhouse with possibly his brother Rueben age 4 union workhouse in Thrapston I was told Charles was born in Northamptonshire but I cant find anything on his birth or possible his mother? Any help would be gratefully received Charles eventually came to Horncastle Lincs on 1851 census to be a chimney sweep.He married Elizabeth Marshall in 1867 in Horncastle.I did find a Lucy Eayers possibly christening 1816 Brigstock Northampton parents Barton Eayers and Elizabeth ?

On 1841 census, both boys are recorded as 'Illegitimate'
Lucy is a Lace Maker, aged anything from 20 to 24. - don't forget ages of over-15's were 'rounded down'
All born in Northants.

The only hope you have is a baptism, although you're not likely ever to find out who the father(s) was/were

Thankyou Erika I wonder if she married I can’t find a marriage for her either. Or death.

The man who married in 1867 was Charles HARE, father's name given as TITUS HARE, Occ Joiner, of whom I can see absolutely nothing!

Name: Charles Hare
Gender: Male
Age: 26*******************************************
Birth Date: 1841
Marriage Date: 3 Sept 1867
Marriage Place: Horncastle, Lincoln, England
Father: Titus Hare
Spouse: Elizabeth Marshall

1851

Samuel Gowen Head Married Male 40 1811 Chimney sweep mastr 4 boys Horncastle, Lincolnshire, England
Elizabeth Gowen Wife Married Female 50 1801 - Bristol, Lancashire, England
Mary Gowen Daughter - Female 17 1834 House servant Horncastle, Lincolnshire, England
Eliza Gowen Daughter - Female 9 1842 - Horncastle, Lincolnshire, England
John Baker Servant Unmarried Male 18 1833 Chimney sweep Lancashire, England
Edwin Wagstaff Servant - Male 16 1835 Chimney sweep Nottinghamshire, England
Reuben Hare Servant - Male 16 1835 Chimney sweep Lancashire, England
Charles Hare Servant - Male 13 1838 Chimney sweep Lancashire, England

When Reuben married, on 25/12/1873, he also said his father's name was TITUS, although the occupation had changed to Cordwainer, which is unlikely, to say the least!
Reuben also lied about his age, as he was MUCH older than his bride

I know wonder why they both said Titus? Do you have access to the Lincolnshire Cronicle paper please?

Think someone told me that there was an article where Charles Hare was in

The 1851 census posted above says both boys were born in Bridgestock, Lancs (on Ancestry's transcription.

Variously spelled in later censuses:
1861 says Reuben was born in Brigstock, Northants.
1871: Bridgestock, Northants.
1881: Braystock, Northants.
1891: Southampton (!)
1901: Northants, Brigstock


1861 and 1871 give his YOB as c1837.
Later censuses say c1840


I know ErikaH has posted the baptism of Charles in 1939 in Thrapston.

In view of Reuben's POB Brigstock, I wonder if this baptism is relevant:


Reuben Eayrs Kitchener
in the Northamptonshire, England, Church of England Baptisms, 1813-1912
Name: Reuben Eayrs Kitchener
Age: 0
Birth Date: Abt 1837
Baptism Date: 19 Feb 1837
Baptism Place: Brigstock, Northamptonshire, England
Parish as it Appears: Brigstock

Mother: Louisa Kitchener

Death??? Though age not fitting with that stated in 1841.

EAYRS, LOUISA 20
GRO Reference: 1851 M Quarter in THRAPSTON Volume 15 Page 271

I have that information in my files about Rueben mother possibly Louisa Kitchener does get confusing dosnt it?

However - on further research -

I think the 1851 death is probably this woman - in which case, not Louisa Kitchener:

Louisa Eyre
in the Northamptonshire, England, Church of England Baptisms, 1813-1912

Birth Date: Abt 1830
Baptism Date: 7 Nov 1830

Louisa Eyre

Gender: Female
Death Date: abt 1851
Burial Date: 4 Feb 1851
Burial Place: Sudborough, Northampton, England

Also -
that woman is with her parents [Sayres] in 1841 in Sudborough, so definitely not Charles and Reuben's mother.
