Historical OverviewGeorge Lye was born about 1778, likely in Somerset, England. At this point his parents remain unknown. On 30 July 1804 he married Ann Syms in Haselbury Plucknett, Somerset, England. Research suggests that George and Ann lived the rest of their lives in Haselbury Plucknett.
Their only known child was Thomas Lye, who was born in 1817. Other than Thomas's baptism record, the only known document I have that shows Thomas with George and Ann is the 1841 UK census, and shows the family living in Haselbury Plucknett. George died in either last October or early November of 1848. He was buried in Haselbury Plucknett on 3 November 1848. - Last updated 27 May 2017 |
