4. | Thomas Eachus was born about 1540 in Cheshire, England; died in 1607; was buried on 20 Mar 1607 in Coddington, Cheshire,. Notes: In the Mid 16th Century a run of very cold winters and short growing seasons resulted in Food Shortages and Famine. In 1557 the Harvest failed for the third year in running, this followed what was reckoned to be the worst famine that century. As well as starvation, thousands died from an outbreak of Plaque, one observer noted that "The like whereof has never been Known before", to make matters worse prices rose sharply, and in the previous year grain had cost double what it did in 1553. This was a disaster for the 60% of the population who lived at subsistence level, wage earners had to spend 80 to 90 per cent of their income on food. At the same time the hugh cloth & woolen trade collapsed with exports down by 30%. Whilst there is no written evidence as how this situation effected the Eachus family, it is a fact that the only recorded reference to the Eachus family at this time is in 1566 when on the 3rd Day of May 1566 in Church Minshull, a child of Thomas Eachus was baptised named John. no other Eachus family members seem to have survived at this point. Thomas married Unknown. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart] |
