Maureen,
I have just come across your message after searching through anything on the "Tye" family from Suffolk. I descend from an ELIZABETH TYE who married John Harsant. They were my G.G.G.G.Grandparents (taking my paternal line each time). Thier Grandson, Walter Harsant with his wife & children emigrated over here to New Zealand in 1853. Walter was born at Haveringland in Norfolk (in 1810) & that is where his Grandparents, John & Elizabeth are buried (John died on 27/2/1804 & Elizabeth died in 1790). They married on 11/10/1778. Walter's father's name was Martin (who married Lucy Aldis). John & Elizabeth had come from Suffolk prior to settling in Norfolk & Elizabeth was born at Cretingham, Suffolk in about 1756. I don't, however, have anymore details relating to either her or her Tye ancestors beyond that.
If you think there may be a connection there somewhere, I would love to hear from you sometime.
Regards,
Alison.
