The Eyles family

saoirseobrien

Hi everyone, my family found an old photo album with pictures dating back to the 1800s. This album has photos from both the McIlroy and Eyles family. We have been able to find minimal information on the McIlroy family, but next to nothing on the Eyles family apart from their names: Henry Eyles married Hannah McIlroy and together they had Walter Henry Eyles. Walter married Eleanor Yeoman Evans and they had 8 children: Stanley, Ethel, Arthur, Lily, Nellie, Frank, Hilda and Joan, below is a photo of them.
Any information would be greatly appreciated
Saoirse.

Stanley married and had one son Dennis Stanley, who married & possibly had 2 daughters.

Ethel married Thomas Colwill and had 3 children.

Lily marries Harold Kefford (a relative of Arthur's wife?) and has 2 sons.

Arthur marries but doesn't appear to have any children.

Nellie marries Frederick Allen and possibly has 3 children

Frank marries not sure about children

Hilda marries Alfred Mantles and has 2 sons

Joan marries Leonard Swann but doesn't appear to have children.
 
Lily & Harold Kefford appear to move to Warwickshire, deaths registered Rugby. Sons marry in Coventry/Rugby. Youngest son has one daughter who appears to be still living in Rugby.

Other Eyles children appear to remain in the London area.
 
It appears Hilda (London) and Ethel (Gloucestershire) probably have descendants. Can't be certain of Stanley and Nellie.

But it looks like there are quite few out there, none in the Bham area as far as I can see though.
