Hi to all Following my posting on Thomas H Vayro, and Percy J T Vayro a few days ago, requesting a little help from members. Thomas was supposedly born in Belper, Derbyshire in 1890 but is now thought to be born in West Tanfield, North Yorkshire. I would simply like to formally thank those members who have gone out of their way to help. The response has been incredible, and I now have masses of material to sift, analyse and record data from. I now have accurate info from several Census returns including Thomas H born 1890 to John Vayro and Martha Mary Rose Vayro on the 1891 Census, on the 1901 C he is at East Harlsley near Northallerton with parents, and on the 1911 C is shown as a groom at Willoughby House, near Rugby Warwickshire. So the info from the family that he was born in Belper is now thought to be incorrect, and Willoughby House is still some distance from Belper Derbyshire. But he did settle in Belper, may have been there for training for WW1, met his future wife, and married her in 1914. I also now have a couple of newspaper cutting extractions from members for an engagement for Norman V, T H's son and info on Percy J T Vayro who received an MBE. And info on more recent B and M records for some other members of the Belper Vayros. I have thanked each member individually, but want to simply express my thanks more formally. Yet again members have come up trumps at very short notice. I feel I have made very rapid progress, and will now spend some time tabulating it all to report back to the two contacts I made through Facebook. What is interesting is that the John and Martha on the 1891 Census are relatives of another Percy Vayro, the farmer of four generations at Clifton Castle estates, Uredale. So I can now tie these two contacts into my own ancestry, with another 5 generations before John and Martha making it 6 before Thomas Henry Vayro. Thanks for your help, much appreciated Rennison through Facebook Just a little note to record my thanks Rennison's List on http://www.upperdalesfhg.org.uk/rennisons.htm The Vayro Ancestry on http://www.vayro.name Vayro Database on http://vayro.tribalpages.com Vayro Guild of One-Name Studies Profile http://one-name.org/name_profile/vayro/ http://www.rennisonprimarydesigntechnology.info Searching for VAYRO, VARO, VARAH and variations worldwide
