Find Ancestors

This is where I got hung up last night .................

I could find some of the children with one mmn, but not all.

Helmsworth and Whitby seemed to be the centre for most of the births, but Sculcoates was also there.

arthur j born 1926 wife winifred
if so on er for whitby 2011 - 2018
had david and another child 1961

his father is john harrison lyth born 1890 as in the above posts, husband of elizabeth and father to the children in 1939 reg.

there are 6 lyth / lacey births between 1924 and 1935

they can be found here as well as marriages
https://www.freebmd.org.uk/search

Leonard Lyth born 1924 in Hemsworth reg district - mms Curtis.

I don't see a Lyth/Curtis marriage. Perhaps the mother had been married before ?

BUT -
the other children's names don't match what you've posted - so must be a different family.

John C Lyth ,Edith M Lyth , Vera Lyth , Enoch Lyth , all born Hemsworth , mms Curtis.

A tree on ancestry has lots of info about the family

Look on freebmd for births using surmane combination of Lyth / Lacy

Looks like them on the 1939 register

Details on freebmd

You are giving approx birth years so think you need to get some certs for ages and fathers names

For instance actual birth date and parents names for david

He married in 1989 to Hughes
Too recent to post details

They are on the electoral rolls in Thirsk t to 2016

You need to establish who john Lyth married so as to get the mums maiden name to find the right births for the sons

How have you got to the names you are looking for ??

I've tried looking for births on GRO Index, Freebmd, and on the 1939 Register, but we need more information to determine "your" Leo, Arthur, etc from the others!

Where in Yorkshire did "your" Lyths live, and where do you think these Lyths live?

If you are looking for members who might have these people in their trees, you have to Search All Member Trees, and then send pms to those names that appear.

You will not find associated people by just posting on the threads.

Go to Search at the top right, click on Search All Trees.


If you want help finding more information on the names you mention, then the member helpers on these Boards can try to help you

I am a Lyth but trying to find a strand of the family from Yorkshire who I think I'm related to but can't find on my tree which goes back to John Lyth DD.

The people I'm looking for are:

John Lyth who had sons around early 1900-1925:
Charles
Leo
Frank
Arthur

Arthur (b around 1930) has son David (b around 1960)

*David who has son William Miles Lyth (b 1992)

The only certainty is this line *

Thanks in advance
