I've only just found your message
Thanks so much that's fantastic. I thought I'd never find the origin!
My bowl belonged to my mother's sister, but I don't know where she got it - she collected all sorts of things that appealed to her.
Thanks again

I wonder if you are still there as I have the answer to our puzzle !! supplied by Sotheby's They said ''works bearing the signature 'Johnolyth'were manufactured by Hantich & Co,Haida '' Google tells us ''H&Co produced Art Glass and developed 'Johnolyth'glassware in 1931(enamlled decoration sandwiched between two glass layers ''
My bowl was a wedding present to my parents in 1934 so if you still have yours its a piece of Bohemian glass ! good luck

Hi Olive

Good to hear from you. I am sure our families are connected but am not sure how. There are lots of Lyth's in Ellesmere Port. Do you know your grandfathers parents names? or what was his wife called?
My great grandfather was Job Lyth too.

You can contact me directly at karenmccrohon@hotmail.com

Kind Regards

Hi Dennis

Good to hear from you. I think you and my dad were cousins. My dad was Bob McCrohon, and my grandmother was Jane / Jinny Lyth who was your fathers sister. Their parents were Joseph/Job Lyth and Mary Jane Stockton. They both came from Canal boat families.
I have lots of info on the Lyth family tree, which I am happy to share.

Hi Karen ( My daughters name! )
I more or less came upon this site by accident, never having had anything to do with family history. I note your Query date July 2004, but I guess you are still there!.
My name is Dennis Lyth' Born in Ellesmere Port 5 December 1928. My father was William Lyth born in Wolves area 1900, (I believe March 24).Family moved upto Ellesmere Port in the early 1900's. He died in 1983-4. My mother was Ivy Hale.She went to on to be 102. I had one sister- Eileen Who died about 2005. My Grandfather was Joseph, (Though I remember him being called Job ),and I am sure his wife was Mary Jane Stockton. William, my father was one of a large family, but I only knew a few of them. There was Ginny, Joe, Jack and Edwin. I also understand that my grandfather was at one time a canal 'boatie'
My wife--now deceassed--my daughter and myself came pout to New Zealand in 1972

Do you by any chance have any information about Mary Lyth who married Robert Borras in Holy Trinity, Hull, in 1797, my gt.gt.grandmother?. Would be interested to know anything.

Re: Ellen Lyth

PRussellWilson — 2010-06-25 17:01:11Z

Thanks!

I have managed to unpick quite a bit. I hadn't discovered the surname of Thomas seniors wife.

I'm trying to find out what happen to Ellen between 1901 and her death in 1947 in USA. My mum and our Dorothy can remember US cousins and I can remember letters from US being read out to me.

The family tale goes that David Lyth Thomas who was a bare knuckle fighter went to US to fight. Ellen would have been his cousin. But there is no family story about her after 1901. It was a surprise when we found out she was buried in salt lake city. We all thought she most have died around 1901.

And certainly before 1911.

Hi
Hope I can assist with your research. In an effort to try and sort out my Lyth/Lythes I have ended up performing a one-name study and therefore have loads of info, some of which may be relevant....
I'm pretty sure that Thomas Lyth(e) born ca. 1842 was the son of Thomas Lyth(e), born ca 1798 Glaisdale, and Hannah Jane Winspear. This would be where the Pennock name originates from, since Hannah Jane's father was Pennock Winspear of Danby nr. Egton (formerly Danby in Cleveland) who was married to an Eleanor Lyth. This is confirmed by the 1851 Census where the family are listed as Sythe, in Wolviston, Durham. Thomas, the elder, is a brickmaker. In 1841 the family are listed in Middlesbrough. Best wishes, Karen.

Re: Frederick Jabez Lyth

pjwilder1 — 2010-03-23 16:20:16Z

Hi there
Before I shut the computer down, I couldn't resist taking Jabez Lyth's details a step further. At 18 years was noted on Census as being apprenticed to a grocer in Pickering (the nearest town to Cropton - a busy market town), but sadly he was dead a year later - was Frederick named in memory of him? I don't know if you know the area we are talking about. Cropton is on the top of a high hill, which is surrounded by other hills and deep valleys. Across one of these hill tops is Levisham. A much smaller place than Cropton, which is itself small. I have stayed there a few times through a railway connection and Scouting. There is a station here which is part of the North Yorkshire Moors Railway (very popular with tourists - they have a web site). My partner knows one of the main members of the station staff well, who in turn knows people round about. Dwellings well spaced. Can be approached by rail, and a road in and out of the valley. One of these roads is very spectacular, narrow, steep and bending. Not for the faint hearted. The station is in the valley bottom and does not get a lot of sun on one side in the winter. One winter visit, Scouts found icicles two feet long and very thick, on the roadside bank. I suspect that people were tough to live there. Will sound out the volunteers, they may know an elder who may be worth speaking to. There was a small school in the adjoining village - up on the hill top (much bigger than Levisham) named Lockton, now an eco youth hostel - will probably also have a web site.

I have a note of some of the Lyth children, as I had to study them in an effort to untangle what I wanted to know and, as it turns out, I do have an ancestral link to some of them.

I am awaiting a CD which I am hoping will give me some more information re the burial area at Cropton.

Have you any idea how Mrs Harland fits in? I see that Sarah Harland was listed as Jabez Lyth's mother on 1871 Census. He was 8, she was 51 - too old to produce FJL. No one else living with them.

Regards
Pam

pjwilder1 — 2010-03-20 21:56:17Z

Hello, we meet again. I wrote to you some years ago, when I was trying to untangle a Boyes/Lythe connection in Cropton. I have done this, but have never bothered with commiting details to this family tree. However, tonight I did connect one or two details and your details popped up once again re a Boyes/Lythe connection. I will have to update my tree properly, as I have more details. It is not straight forward.

With reference to your question in 2006 about Frederick Jabez Lyth. On speck, I can tell you that I have come across the name Jabez Lyth before in Cropton - but from an earlier date. He is listed on the Cropton School register: started school Oct 1874, name Jabez Lythe, dob Jul 1861, in parent column says Mrs Harland, left Jan 1876. In case you have not come across it before, there are lots more Lythe's on the school register, will try and attach:

I have tramped round the graveyard at Cropton and studied written records, but am surprised to find no Lythes or Boyes there. Would at least expect to see Margaret Lythe, who appeared to have died in childhood - 1st wife to James.

Have also spoken to a member of their history group - Lythe is not a name that is in the village now and there were no other, earlier remembrances. (They have quite a lot of family tree visitors).

Will be going back for a visit shortly and meeting up with one of the historians. The village has a web site, with some old village photographs on if you are interested.

Re: any one with conections with lyth family in uk

halpark — 2010-02-10 14:08:37Z

My gt.gt.grandmother was a Mary Lyth who married a Robert Borras in Holy Trinity, Hull, in 1797. Apart from that I have had no connection with other Lyths. However I would like to point out one small thing. Wherever the name came from it did not come from a "Protestant running from persecution" in 1210 for the simple reason that there was no such thing as a "Protestant" in 1210 and consequently he could not have been running to anywhere from anywhere or anything.

Ellen Lyth

PRussellWilson — 2009-12-31 08:04:32Z

Ellen Lyth is my Great Grandaunt. I received information that she died in Salt Lake City in 1947. I have not been able to find any record of her emigrating to US. She was born in Stockton-on-Tees in 1881. I can trace her in UK records up to 1911 then she disappears. There is no death registration for her that I can find in the UK.

So does anyone know this Ellen Lyth in USA and how she got there!

On another site someone said they'd found a picture of a Ada Lyth, England in a shop in USA. Ada Lyth is my other Great Grandaunt, she also just disappears out of UK records after 1911.

My mum's Cousin Dorothy Thompson, who's Grand Mother was my other great Grandaunt Ann Brindle Lyth says that one of our relatives went to US to be a prise fighter. We have narrowed this down to Ellen nephew David Lyth Thomas or her Brother Richard Lyth - but Richard as a report of emigrating in 1920 but also a report of dying at birth but no paper record of this. Census shows him alive up to 1901 he was born 1883.

There common parent my great, great grandfather is Thomas Lyth who Married Amn Wilcock he was never born according to UK records. My research shows two potential birth dates for him, 1842 in Stockton-on-Tees, farther unknown, mother Helen unknown, or born 1850 to either a William Lyth son of a Thomas Lyth 1801 married to Hannah Lyth. William had a brother Penneck spelt in different ways on different evidence. Penneck keeps popping up in our family history, in fact when my great grandmother was married (Walker) he lived with them a while. William as a father best matches geography and for necessary age to have a son born in either 1842 or 1850. Penneck would be to young to be father.

Any help much appreciated!

Thanks Peter

Hi Gina,
Joseph Lyth 1790-1856 who married Mary Newton 10/1/1818 in Whitby was my GGGGF. I have searched the church records of Egton but there is no baptism in his name. If you have any history for Joseph that would be very helpful.

Re: Lyth, Canal Boatmen on the Shropshire Union Canal

PRussellWilson — 2009-08-30 10:50:54Z

Hello Karen,

My great grand mother was Mary Jane Lyth. When my grand mother and her sisters where young circa 1910 to 1920. They went off into service around the Chester area and into Wales. Around Ellesmere Port. This was because we had family there (LYTH) related to Mary Jane. Believed to be a brother.

Beatrice Walker and Margaret Brindle Walker stayed down in that area and married. We still have contact with Audrey Davis - Margret's daughter.

Now it get's more interesting. We are very closely related to the Sadler's - Lyth's and Walker's have married these at least twice I know of. I'd been looking at Lyth in Wales and Chester but not made any progress connecting us. Seems the missing link is the 'boatman'. When I was younger my grand mother Hilda Walker Mary Jane's daughter would sit me on her knee and tell me tall tales. She often spoke of the Uncle who want off to the 'sea'. But my great uncle Billy Walker always use to joke back 'it was a tub on a canal'.

Re: any one with conections with lyth family in uk

PRussellWilson — 2009-08-30 10:17:24Z

Hello,

My great grand mother was Mary Jane Lyth. She married James Walker.

They had relations in Hartlepol & Wingate. The main ones that I have been trying to trace are Ellen who went to America and died there 1947 Salt Lake City, and Pendock who was Mary Jane's Uncle.

We believe that my mum's cousin's uncle David Lyth Thomas of Stockton on Tees also want to the states. His mother was Ann Brindle Lyth. She had staying with her a niece from Hartlepool her mother was believed to be a Margaret or Mary Lyth. But we don't have a name for the niece.

There are still some Lyth around in the area but we don't know them. I am trying to prove that all the Lyth originally come from the village of Lythe on outskirts of Whitby. A french Protestant called de Lyth runing from pursecution settled near what became Lyth in around 1210.

The family legend goes that Mary Jane and Ann Brindle where the last standing Lyth's all brother killed in first world war and they where done out of land/property. this was supposed to have been in Lyth area. But I have been able to trace our line back to late 1700's in Stockton-on-tees, and keep getting the hartlepol connection.

My mum can remember visiting a aunt of my grand mother's (Hilda Walker) in hartlepool as a little girl up to about 13/14 when such visits stopped. This person was a Lyth related to Mary Jane she lived with her daughter.

I have a lovely vase inherited from an aunt with the same signature on the bottom. I have been trying to find anything about it for ages and have only just, thanks to your message, been certain of the signature.
It is shaded from burnt orange at the top, shading into translucent green and decorated with free flowers and leaves in the burnt orange and more opaque green. This description doesn't really do it justice.
I would be very interested to hear if you have made any more progress in your hunt for information on John O Lyth and will be continuing my search.

Re: Lyth, Canal Boatmen on the Shropshire Union Canal

Catherine_Pinnock — 2007-02-04 15:34:38Z

Hello Jonathan,

I think your William Lyth may be one generation down from Karen's William Lyth (hi there Karen!) and that he is in fact the brother of my great-grandmother Elizabeth Lyth. The problem seems to come from parents calling their first born sons by the father's first name.

Karen's William Lyth 1824-1908 (married to Elizabeth Davies) had a son called William (b 1858) and married Mary Ann Sadler (who already had two children, Isaac & John, surnamed Sadler). Now it is possible that she wasn't actually married to Mr Sadler and that in fact her maiden name was Edwards but used Sadler as a "convenience/convention". There are certainly other Sadlers on the waterways at the time.

William and Mary Ann' first born son was also called William and was born around 1878/1879 in St Martins (this is on the census of 1881 and I've had to guess at his birth year from his age at census). This, in my opinion, is your great-grandfather. He had a brother called James (b ~1881) who is probably the witness on the marriage certificate. This William also had a younger sister called Elizabeth who married my great-grandfather John Roberts (and the witnesses at their wedding were John Sadler and his wife!!) I tell you all these Williams and Elizabeths quite blow your mind!

The Sadler and the Lyth boys seem to have been pretty close too, with Isaac Sadler and his wife and child sharing a house with James Lyth in Worcester Street in the Port in 1901. On the 1891 census, Isaac seems to have been using the surname Lyth too, I assume this is out of convention as well, after his step-father.

Please come back to me soon so we can share more info and swap the family trees. I'd love to have more info on your grandfather and father.

Re: Lyth, Canal Boatmen on the Shropshire Union Canal

onathanlm06 — 2007-01-07 18:06:04Z

Hello!

I think it is the same person!!!
From what I can tell you My farther is John Edward Lyth (alive), his farther was John French Lyth named after a first world war incident envolving his farther who was William Lyth married to Harriett Jones from Welshpool. He was (according to birth certificate), born on the canal but registered at St Martins Moor, Whittington, Salop on the 17/8/1878.
The mothers name is entered as 'Mary Ann Lyth formerly Edwards.
Now this is as far as I've got apart from William and Harriett's marriage certifficate. The witnesses happen to be a James Lyth and Mary Lyth.

For a few years now I've been a bit stumped as I can not find anything else, but its just hit me, I think we may be dealing with a Divorce or something. That might explain why there are two Families of Lyth currently living in Ellesmere Port that for some strange reason don't associate in anyway?

Re: Lyth, Canal Boatmen on the Shropshire Union Canal

karenmccr — 2007-01-07 17:18:12Z

Hi

Yes, well sort of anyway. My Lyth family were boatpeople that eventually settled in Ellesmere Port. So, I am sure we are connected somewhere, but not quite sure how. On my tree I have a William Lyth born about 1879 in St Martin, Shropshire, his parents were William Lyth (born about 1858) and Mary Anne Sadler. I have William (jnr) on the 1881 census in llangollen and 1891 census in Ellesmere Port. I dont have a marriage or spouse on file for him though so am not sure if it is your William. William (snr)'s parents were William Lyth born 1824 in Wem and Elizabeth Davis (they are my gg grandparents). Let me know if this fits in with your tree, in the meantime I will try and do a bit more digging,

Karen

Re: Lyth, Canal Boatmen on the Shropshire Union Canal

jonathanlm06 — 2006-12-20 15:08:28Z

William Lyth was my gg Grandfarther he was born in 1878 on the canal, henhull?
He was married to Harriett Jones on 20/8/1902 at the Parish of St John's Chester.
His farther was also William Lyth who on their marriage certifficate states he was a boatman of the Bramble. He was married to Mary Ann Edwards.
From what we know our immediate family come from Ellesmere Port.
Does this tie in with your family tree?

Greetings
Firstly my husband's family are from the Readman and Lyth lines on his mother's side. The families originated from the Egton area near Whitby and were some of the Recussant families in that area. On GENUKI there is info about them in HEARTS OF OAK. I have lost all of my data on the PC so have only got my papers, but I did send info to Shane who has put it on this site http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&...

Following a search tonight this site has MORE info
http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=DESC&...

The earliest info I have is that Richard Lyth b 1779 m Esther Mead.

We live just outside of Whitby incidentaly!!
I hope the info is of use esp. the web sites mentioned!!!
Let me know how your searches go....
