(born 1739, died 1793) was born in Preston. He was educated from young age at Dieulounrd in France (of which Ampleforth Abbey, York is the lineal descendant). As a very young priest (25 years old) he came home to serve the mission in Lancashire, and was at LITTLE MOSNA and CUERDON, near Preston. In 1780 he removed this mission to BROWNEDGE, where there must have been a missionary station already, for in 1774 bishop Walton confirmed 212 persons at BARM BRIDGE (Bamber Bridge) or Brownedge. Dom Oswald served this mission for the next 13 years and the records state that he died suddenly on October 15th 1793. I have heard it said by tradition that he was thrown from his horse whilst on his missionary duties. I have a record of his burial from the Preston parish Register which reads: ³Buried in October 1793. There are several notes on the above in Catholic Record society (Vol 23) from which I quote: ³Dom Oswald EYVES (or Eaves) ... born in 1739 ... professed at Dieulward in 1755, was at Cuerdon 1764-80, and Brownedge 1786 till death on Oct. 15th, 1793 (From Abbott Oswald Eaves' Facts and Memoirs) Ralph (? -) Raphe (? -) Richard(2) Eyues (? -) Father: Richard Eyues Wife: Margaret Cuerdale Child: Ralph Eyues Richard(3) Eyves (14th March 1661 -) Richard(4) Eyues (? - 1664) Father: Ralph Eyues Mother: Anne Rishton Wife: Jane Grimshaw Child: Thomas Eyues Child: James Eyues Child: Oswald Eyues Child: Anne(2) Eyues Child: Jane(2) Eyues Richard(5) Eyues (14th March 1661 -) Father: Thomas Eyues Mother: Margery Sherdly Born 14th March 1661?

By his wife Jane, daughter of Richard Grimshaw of Clayton Hall, he had two younger sons and two daughters: JAMES, father of Dom thomas Eyves, O.S.B. born 1659 died 1747, and probably of Dame Mary Eyves O.S.B. of Cambrai who died in 1732; OSWALD who settled at Ashton-super-Ribble, whose will was proved in 1715; Anne wife of Thomas Dale of Walton; and Jane, wife of William shaw of Preston.
