Eyre Evans Crowe (born 1799), was orphaned at an early age and sent to live with spinster aunts in Ireland. His precocious intelligence secured him an education at Trinity College, Dublin. In his late teens he moved to London, earning money as a contributor of articles and poems to magazines. In October 1823 he married Margaret Archer, only daughter of Captain Joseph Archer of Kiltimon House in the parish of Killiskey, county Wicklow. The couple set up home in London, and their first child, Eyre Crowe, was born on 3 October 1824, at 141 Sloane Street. He was baptized at St Luke’s parish church in nearby Chelsea on 10 November. Five other children were born to Eyre Evans and Margaret Crowe: Joseph Archer (1825), Eugenie Maria (1827), Edward (1829), Amy (1831) and George (1841).
Eyre Evans Crowe moved his family to France, where living was cheaper, in 1826. Initially they lived near Boulogne, but took an apartment in Paris in late 1827 or early 1828. Soon after 1830, Eyre Evans Crowe secured regular employment as Paris correspondent for the Morning Chronicle newspaper in London. His newspaper work brought him into contact with notable people, and the Crowe home became the centre of a liberal and artistic circle of both French people and expatriates. Eyre Evans Crowe met the young William Makepeace Thackeray, whose mother Mrs Carmichael-Smyth and grandmother Mrs Butler were part of the expatriate set, in around 1834. Young Eyre and Joe enjoyed Thackeray’s visits, as he entertained them with sketches, stories and songs. The Crowe children were educated at home by their father and by a series of private tutors. In the early 1830s, Eyre and Joe were sent to learn drawing from the painter M. Brasseur. Later in the decade, they received tuition from their parents’ friend William Darley, an Irish artist, and they also received advice from the Scottish artist John Brine, another Paris friend.
