Hi Jim, there probably is a connection but have only just started looking closely at the Kear branch. I think your William married Sarah Cox in 1813 as they are together in Bream Tufts in the 1841 census with Mary. That means your William was born around the same time.

Hi Jim I believe that this Mary was the Daughter of William Kear And Sarah Cox who were married at Nerwland 14/3/1813.

William Kear married Frances Brown

Frances Brown is my 3G Grandmother. In 1841 she is married to William Kear living in Bream. William is born around 1790 (1791 in 1841 census & 1787 in the 1851). However, there are three possible sets of parents for William, John & Ann, Richard & Esther or William & Martha. Has anyone any definite information as to which are correct? Thank you.
