Does anyone know where this picture can be found, it is shown on the oldwirral website under the history of Birkenhead. Is it still hanging somewhere or a copy in a book? I would love to see it as it was painted by my 4 x great grandfather!
I am also related to the above map-maker/artist/merchant...my grandmother was Florence Jane Eyes.....do you know that there is a family tree being completed??? I can send you details....also there is so much information about Charles and John Eyes...for example a portrait in the Walker Gallery..and lots of maps, waterways buildings etc!!
Hi Sharon, thanks for the reply. I have quite a lot of information about the family & have a tree of my direct relatives however I haven't come across Florece Jane Eyes before during my research. There is also a tree posted on the internet for Edward Eyes, first son of Charles. My g g grandfather was another Charles, his second son. If you are interested in contacting me directly I can give you my email ad.
The Eyes family tree on the internet has been done by a cousin of my mothers, and her name is Karen O’Hare and she is a granddaughter of Margaret Eyes. The family tree is incomplete and still under construction.
The people featured are my grandmother’s ancestors, and the pictures come from the family bible which is kept by another relative who is a descendent of Amy Eyes. My grandmother’s parents were Leonard Harrison Eyes and Elizabeth Mills. The pictures of young Leonard, Amy, Agnes and Margaret are some of my Grandmothers siblings.
Please feel free to message me your email and we can share information.
