Not to be confused with Eyre Evans Crowe.

Eyre Evans, JP, DL (23 May 1773 - 29 January 1856), of Ash Hill Towers, Kilmallock, County Limerick and Milltown Castle, Charleville, County Cork,[1] was an Irish landowner.

He was the son of Eyre Evans and Mary Williams, daughter and heiress of Thomas Williams. He was a great-nephew of George Evans, 1st Baron Carbery (see Baron Carbery) and great-grandson of the Rt-Hon. George Evans.[2] He married Anna Maunsell, daughter of Robert Maunsell, of Bank Place, Limerick. His daughter Caroline married The Hon. James Ogilvie-Grant (later the 9th Earl of Seafield, which title his descendants hold).[3]

The Ash Hill and Milltown estate comprised some 3,000 acres and was sold in 1880 to the Weldon family.[1][4]
