[QUOTE=Mary from Italy;176056]I can't find a likely birth for Edward Eyre; famsearch has early Penistone records, but there's nothing for him there.
I did find this baptism, but they don't give their source, although as there's an exact date, it sounds promising:

Strange, I must have done something wrong when I searched yesterday, because I found that baptism easily today on familysearch:

So it looks as though Edward's father was Joseph.
