GYTE Family in Chelmorton

[msallen]

Hi

Sorry to be late joining this thread, but I've only just joined rootschat.

I have an ancestor Mary Gyte, baptised in Chelmorton 8/12/1724, the daughter of Thomas Gyte and Elizabeth Ollerenshaw.

Thomas & Elizabeth were married in Chelmorton 27/4/1700.

IGI claims a Thomas Gyte was bapt in Chelmorton 20/10/1678, however my transcription of the PR (which is hard to read and has the edge of the page missing) is
"Robert Gyte the son of Thomas Gyte of Mon... baptised the 20 day of October 1678"
which would imply the IGI is wrong there. "Mon..." where the edge of the page is missing, is probably Monyash by the way.

Cheers
Mark

Hi Mark ...welcome to the forum....

Your Mary b1724 was I believe the younger sister to my 6xGG Peter GYTE by 1714 .... There are quite a few trees on Gencircles which list this family ...and mine now for some reason, which are incorrect in my opinion ... so you need to be careful ...I always pick up the data but never qualify it till I have good source support.
 
I think I have my GYTE line back to the same Thomas and Elizabeth OLLERENSHAW...

What I am confident of is the following

Alan WATERHOUSE m Alison WHITEOAK Oldham
Eric WATERHOUSE m Audrey BUCKLEY Oldham
Joe WATERHOUSE m Emily ASHTON Oldham
Fred WATERHOUSE m Florrie BRIGGS Oldham
Elijah WATERHOUSE m Esther MOTTRAM 1865 Glossop
William MOTTRAM m Hannah GYTE 1845 Bakewell
Peter GYTE m Esther pre 1812

from here on its conjecture in line with the BVRI and IGI records

Samuel GYTE m Lydia ??  pre 1783
Peter GYTE m Anne BIRCHENOUGH pre 1744
Thomas GYTE m Elizabeth OLLERENSHAW pre 1703

I was in Chelmorton last year and took some digital images of GYTE gravestones ...but I just can't make out all the detail ... we would have spent more time but it was snowing unfortunately ...

Where did you get your transcript of the PR's from? ... I would love to get hold of a copy ...


Cheers Alan

Hi Alan

I wasn't aware of your Peter b c1714, but then I know that I have a large gap in Mary's siblings, as I only have Anne 1703, Thomas 1708 and Mary 1724.

I'll look for his baptism in the PR next time I go to the record office (which may be a while!). Incidentally thats where I got the info on Robert, son of Thomas' baptism from,  when I said transcript, I meant an entry I'd transcribed myself. I have a large number of ancestors from in and around Chelmorton parish and would love to find a transcript too!

Just for the record 'The Diaries of Maria Gyte of Sheldon, Derbyshire' Edited by Gerald Phizackerly were published by Scarthin Books, Cromford, Derbyshire in 1999. ISBN 0-907758-96-7
Diaries kept by Maria Gyte wife of Anthony Gyte and mother of 'Tony' Gyte Killed WW1 Nov 1917. Other children were - Mary, Tom, Ethel & Emily.
Before her marriage Maria was the village schoolmistress.
The diary mentions lots of local residents and some other local servicemen.
Sheldon is 4 miles from Chelmorton.
An Evelyn Gyte is also mentioned.
I don't mind doing look ups to see if a surname crops up in the book as there is a detailed index. But due to copyright you will need to get a copy of the book to check it out the full details yourself.  Fascinating read!
