Fatal to leave these boards for a couple of minutes - I think Merry has suppled all the answers!

I’ve got Edward Eyre b 1720 and another 1758. But they all have the name Vincent in their family.
Was it common? I’ve not come across it much in that era.

Yes, but you are trying to connect this Edward Eyre b 1738 to Elizabeth Eyre (George Naylor's wife) born about when? Do you have a burial for Mrs Elizabeth Naylr?

I started this thanks to that wretched Phillip Mould and Fiona Bruce on TV. They mentioned the Getty Index for finding artwork. So...I threw in some of the ones Myles Ariel owned and who should pop up but Edward Eyre. , Landsdown Cres Bath.
Where did Myles’ widow and daughter live? Landsdown Villa Bristol. I always thought perhaps Myles obtained a lot of his wealth from his first wife, then after having her will overturned, wrote a new one leaving everything to his new wife. He dies a few months later and she sells off everything.

I’m only working on this because Edward Eyre of Landsdown Cres Bath once owned artwork very similar to what was in Myles Ariel’s possessions when he died. I should be in bed. I’ll be great tomorrow.....lol

Several trees have this as the burial of the father of Edward (1738-1823)
Name: Edward Eyre Gender: Male Record Type: Burial Death Date: abt 1777 Burial Date: 18 Dec 1777 Burial Place: St Mary at Finchley, Hendon, Barnet, Middlesex, England and a PCC will Edward Eyre Esquire 24 Dec 1777 St Paul Covent Garden, Middlesex, England I don't know if those are correct though. Googling says his father was a silk merchant, but the will says linen draper.

I think you transcribed a will from a Vincent Eyre. They are all over my Eyres. Maybe a coincidence.

Do you know what year your Vincent Eyre died? The 1777 testator says he had a brother Vincent Eyre who predeceased him (he left something to his brother's widow)

I was trying to make her a younger sister of Edward Eyre who died in 1823 in Bath, but if that IS his father dying in 1777 that Edward senr didn't leave anything to Elizabeth Naylor. His estate went to son Edward, and daughters Charlotte and Sarah. I did have to speed-read the 1777 will as it was pages and pages and I have to have driven five miles in the next 8 mins, so had better go now!
