Kyte Family Shirebrook

[trooperbill]

Hi there,

Im here with my mum and we're looking into the Kyte family history.

So far what we know is:

Jonah Kyte and wife Emma Kyte moved to Halifax West Yorkshire from what we believe is Shirebrook

Their children were born in shirebrook and were called:

Mary Anne, Harriet, Florence, rosy, Tom, Jake

Jonah was a coal miner

We think jonahs brother was called sonny gut this could have been a nick name - we think he had more brothers

all help appreciated as we're totally stuck at this point.

Hi & welcome to RootsChat

Do you already have any census information?  Also we could help you better if you gave us some dates

Welcome to RootsChat Trooperbill 

you don't give a time frame but I wonder if this is the family in 1901 by any chance ...  

1901
RG13/4387 14 20
Attercliffe Cum Darnall, Yorkshire
124 Fitzmaurice Rd
2 rooms occupied
Jonah Kyte, head, 34, Coal Miner, b. Staffs Stafford
Emma, wife, 34, b. Staffs Wedgbridge
Jonah, son, 13, Collier, b. Staffs Bonsley (something)
Florence M, dau, 12, b. Staffs Hednesford
Rosehannah, dau, 10, b. do.
Harriet, dau, 4, b. Yorks Treeton
Mary A, dau, 2, b. Yorks Aughton
Tom, son, 6 weeks, b. Darnall

(added: a Jonah Kyte dies age 80 in 1945 in Halifax, which would match this Jonah)

[trooperbill]

those are the ones!!!!!

any idea what our next step should be in expanding our tree?

[Tati]

Go here www.familysearch.org and type in Jonah Kite - you'll find a 1881 census record for Jonah with his parents and several siblings, living in Cannock Staffordshire

I think that the SON jonah is the jonah discussed here.

Is there any way i can verify this?

as this would tell us about his brothers, mum and dad which would be a significant step forwards


thanks people!

I can't see any other match on the censuses, so he looks very good to me.

To make sure that he's the one, it would be useful to get his marriage certificate to Emma : it would prove that his father was also Jonah.

I'm having trouble finding the marriage reference on FreeBMD though. Or Emma and the children in 1891, for that matter.

Any idea what Emma's maiden name was? Else the birth cert of one of the children would tell. For instance:
Florence May Kite - Sep 1889 - Cannock 6b 498
