SAYER FAMILY HISTORY

This page is dedicated to the history of the family of Charles Sayer (1742 - 1797) of Bowes, North Yorkshire.

Historical background

Charles Sayer (1742 - 1797) was the youngest child of James Sayer and Mary Hanby. Charles and his wife lived in Bowes and are thought to have had seven children. Their son George Sayer (1772 - 1861), his wife and their twelve children emigrated to Quebec in about 1818 and started a line of Canadian Sayer descendants.

Another son, Charles Sayer (1776 - >1814), a weaver, married his wife in London , before moving to Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire. His wife died in 1814 and he may have emigrated to Canada after her death. Several of their children however returned to Bowes. One of those was William Sayer ( - >1901) who subsequently married Susannah Raine (1843 - >1901). They had ten children but tragedy was to strike the family when their eldest son John William Sayer committed suicide at Croft House, Bowes in 1927.
