Hi
I received the death certificate for Peter GYTE today ...he was 53 on his death in 1840 ....which means he was born abt 1787 and therefore wasn't the Peter GYTE i had been led to believe.
I now need to check the PR's for Chelmorton by sight ...the IGI and every other source i can find offers up no leads.
On the 41 census Hannah GYTE b1816 (she was the informant) was living with her younger brother William b1833 and also John GYTE b1840 in Chelmorton.
Both William and Hannah are shown as born Chelmorton on later census ... John was born in Tideswell.
In 1845 Hannah married William MOTTRAM and John was raised as a MOTTRAM.
He remained a MOTTRAM (51 Census) until he left home for Oldham ...and was then reverted back to GYTE on the 61 census.
On his wedding to Nanny BUCKLEY in 64 he gives his fathers name as John Montague BROWN .... i suspect this was Hannahs son to Mr Brown
http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/DBY/Pigot1835/dbytides.html ... has him residing in Tideswell in 1835
It is of course possible that both Peter and Esther were not from Chelmorton ...but I believe they settled there from at least 1812 onwards ..
