Member Since: April 2004 Posts: 204 Send Message	Whenever I have someone with an unusual name I always Google it. Just did that for yours and there is a Tyras Woodhead who was an Editor for the Gazette Nespaper in Kendal - 1828-9 (according to Pigot's Directory). Also an obituary for a wife of a Tyras: (Whitehaven Herald, Nov 11, 1855): "At Friendly-cottage, near Haverthwaite, on the 14th ult., Sarah, widow of the late Tyras Redhead, many years editor of the Kendal Gazette, and formerly a woollen draper in Ulverston, aged 68". There are quite a few more entries for Tyras Redhead too - worth looking through them. Lancashire has an Online Parish Clerk website so you can check marriages, baptisms and burials - http://www.lan-opc.org.uk
