I am trying to trace my husbands side of our family tree and am interested in the Tyers of Whitby. I have traced back to a Robert Tyers who was born in 1794 and was a mariner in Whitby. I would be grateful for any help anyone can give on this part of our family. I know that the Hovingtons and the Mitchells of Whitby are all connected to this part of the family. Thank you.
