Some more notes

Giffords wife
Name: Rosa Annie Bysouth
Gender: Female
Age: 26
Estimated birth year: abt 1893
Birth Country: England
Date of Arrival: 10 Feb 1919
Vessel: Tunisian
Search Ship Database: View the 'Tunisian' in the 'Passenger Ships and Images' database

"Bob's father is the only one of his family to emigrate to Canada. He came to Canada just before WWI, then went back to enlist during the war, married Annie Rose Davies from Clapham, London, and after the war they came back to Canada and homesteaded in central Saskatchewan. They moved to Burnaley, British Columbia, for about 10 years when Bob was about 14 years old, but they came back to Alberta later and both parents died here and are buried in Lloydminster. His other brothers and sisters are mostly dead, and the ancestors live in Baldock. They moved to Baldock just before Bob's dad, Gifford Thomas, was born in 1890."

I have seven children listed for this couple can anyone confirm?

Also I believe that one of them is on this website

http://www.langleyadvance.com/issues06/081206/news/081206nn1... - type in Bysouth under search and Eric J Bysouth will be shown - I have him as third child.

Gifford did go to Canada - see below
travel:
BYSOUTH Gifford Thos 1891 M 1912 Bristol Canada Halifax

Signed up to the Canadian Over-seas Expeditionary Forces
14 Dec 1915 188th Bn

Fought at Vimy Ridge and Passchendaele in WW1 - suffered poisonous gas injury.

BYSOUTH Male
Event(s): Birth: 1921 Marshall, Saskatchewan, Saskatchewan
Christening: Death: 1921
Parents: Father: GIFFORD THOMAS BYSOUTH
Mother: ROSA ANNIE DAVIES

Extract off web:
My name is Chloe Nottingham and when I was given this project I asked my Great Nana if she had any stories about the war that she could share with me. She had 2 important people in her life that fought in World War I and World War II.
The first was her father, Thomas Bysouth, my Great Great grandfather. He served in the army in World War 1 as a Canadian Soldier. He had recently moved from England to Canada when the war broke out. He fought at Vimy Ridge and Passchendaele, 2 of the most important battlefields in WW1 He fought in the trenches so the advancing enemy could not see them. When it rained the army got caught up in the mud, it was wet and cold and many soldiers fell sick. The German enemy sent over poisonous gases which affected the soldiers lungs so, they could not breathe. My Great Great grandfather was one of those injured by the poisonous gases. The second was her husband, my Great Grandfather, Leonard Brown who served in World War II for the Canadian Airforce. He was stationed in Gander, Newfoundland. If the enemy attacked by sea or air, the first place they would strike was Newfoundland. He was there to help protect this from happening. During his training in Trenton, Ontario, my Great Nana traveled with him and worked part-time making gun shells for the war. I also had 6 Great Uncles who served in World War II. One of them, Great Great Uncle Jim was hit by schrapnel as his landing craft tried to land in Dieppe, France. He lost his eye.
These are the stories from my family and how important it is to remember our family and others who fought for freedom. We remember all these brave men by wearing a poppy and re-telling the stories that are passed from generation to generation......To Never Forget.
Thank You
Chloe Nottingham (10)

Hi Anthony,

have you have any Bysouth contact from Canada??

Chris

Re: Bysouth family history

anthonybysouth — 2010-11-07 18:10:44Z

Im also sure Gifford Bysouth went to Canada not Australia?

Re: Bysouth family history

irenerobinson9350 — 2010-11-07 01:57:41Z

Hi Chris,

I'm a little confused. You say:

John BYSOUTH B. 1699 Reeds, Hertfordshire to Thomas BYSOUTH B. 1639 Reeds, Hertfordshire to Joseph BYSOUTH B. 1739 Barkway, Hertfordshire to Joseph BYSOUTH B. 1771

I'm assuming that Thomas Bysouth B. 1639 should read 1739, in which case what about Joseph? Is it a typo?

Also, who is

BYSOUTH B. 1836 Barkway, Hertfordshire ?

The reason I ask is that I can follow all the names down to Thomas Bysouth B. 1797, but cannot find any of his children born in 1836. My great-great grandfather, George Bysouth b. 1835 would have been a brother. I do have a Benjamin Bysouth B. 1837

Take a look at my website:

My email address is on the website.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Re: Bysouth family history

2006-06-04 23:05:55Z

I don't know if you are still searching, but I married into the same family names. My husband's grandfather was Thomas Henry Bysouth, eldest son of Thomas William and Ellen Hallam. Tom H. and his brother Sam married two sisters, emigrated to Canada circa 1910. Tom remained a coal miner until he was forced into early 'retirement' by injury. He died and is buried in Pioneer Cemetery, Creston, BC (Kootenay area).
Thomas Henry married Ada Ellen Turner...they had one son, (Stanley) born 1905 in Notts, England. Stanley married Elise Hansen, and they had 2 children...Diane and Garry. Garry married Brenda (me).
We know that Thomas William Bysouth was born in Royston, Cambs in 1855...mother Harriett Bysouth (no father listed) in the Bassingbourne workhouse. He married Ellen Hallam in Belper, Derbyshire (??)...and he was a miner in the Notts area...Diane and I have been trying to research this family, but their history is very elusive.
I hope that you will contact: <bbysouth@kootenay.com>

And yes, we have some info on Ernest Bysouth

Re: Bysouth family

chocolatehogger — 2005-01-18 23:18:08Z

My Grandfather, Ernest was raised by his Grandparents, Thomas William (born 1854 in Royston, Cambridge) and Ellen (born 1855 in West Hallam, Derby). Does this ring any bells?

Re: Bysouth family history

chocolatehogger — 2005-01-18 23:05:03Z

My Grandfather, Ernest was raised by his Grandfather Thomas William Bysouth. Thomas William was born in Royston, Cambridge in 1854 and married Ellen of West Hallam. Does this ring a bell with you?

hey all!
My Granny's been suggesting we make a family tree. our surname is Bysouth. i think we come from herts and my late grandfather and his dad ran a stone masons in enfield(?). i'm a lil unsure.
my grandad said that we were once part of the South family but an argument divided us so we became Bysouths. if you have any info plz e-mail us: bysouth@tiscali.co.uk

I am researching the name Bunyan and have come across the marriage of John Bunyan to Frances Bysouth on the 17 Feb 1825 at Reed, Hertford. I believe she will be connected to your Bysouth family and I am trying to prove the connection to THE John Bunyan of literary fame.Do you have info on Francis ( she sometimes called herself Fanny)?? Love to hear from you.

Re: Bysouth family history

2002-04-06 15:51:08Z

As a Bysouth, you will undoubtedly be related to me! I have a lot of info on lot of different branches of the Bysouth family and they all seem to be traced back to Hertfordshire in England. Please let me know what information you have on your ancestors and I'll do my best to 'fit you in'! My email address is irene.robinson@btinternet.com

Re: Bysouth family history

2002-04-06 14:01:40Z

ok, here's one. where do i fit in to all this?

Re: Bysouth family

2002-01-27 22:01:29Z

Hi Richard,

I have a very large database of Bysouths so if you would care to get in touch with me (irene.robinson@btinternet.com) giving me as much info as you have, maybe I can help.
Best wishes,
Irene Robinson

Re: Bysouth family history

2002-01-27 21:54:54Z

Hi Melanie,

I have quite a large database of Bysouths and I have a Walter William Bysouth (born 1860) but no details of his wife or children. His father was William Bysouth and his mother was Emma (nee Manning). He had two brothers, Frederick John (b. 1862) and Henry Albert (b. 1871) and five sisters, Rowletta Sarah (b. 1864) and Agnes (b. 1867), Theresa (b. 1867), Florence (b. 1873) and Ruth Margery (b. 1876). I have all Walter's ancestors right back to Edward (b. bef. 1548) and can let you have the family tree and a report, if you want. The entire family tree (extending to some 70-odd pages!) is yours if you'd like me to email it to you, or alternatively I can give you a cut-down version which would just be a direct descendancy without siblings. Let me know which you'd like.

Whereabouts do you live? Going by your email address, I'd imagine Australia. You have quite a few Bysouth cousins out there too!

I have a website: www.btinternet.com/~irene.robinson which gives a basic family tree. If you look it up, our common ancestor is Joseph and Mary (nee Dale) which makes you my 5th cousin once removed!

I'd be grateful if you could let me have your family tree connecting up to Walter William Bysouth then I can add it to my fast growing Bysouth database. (As long as you don't mind - I know some people are reluctant to give out personal details).

I did try to email you but my message bounced back.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Irene Robinson

Hi Irene,

My name is Melanie Butters and I have just this week started to trace my grandmothers family history. She is Shirley Eileen Pickering daughter of Alfred Percy Pickering and Nellie Mortimer Bysouth who was born in Hertfordshire and was the daughter of Walter William Bysouth and Jane Mortimer Southwood. My nan has relations in Canada being Rene and Ron Bysouth (I think!). From the small amount of information I have as I'm just starting out on this journey I feel we must be related.

I would love to hear from you with any information you may have. If I'm on the right track!!!

Regards
Melanie.

Re: Bysouth/South families

I have traced my family back to the early 1500's to Reed Hertfordshire to an Edward Bysouth if you have any connection with the family I would be pleased to hear from you to compare notes

Bysouth's - Reed, Hertfordshire. Hackney, London. Southend-on-Sea, Essex.

2001-05-14 16:38:27Z

My Grandmother was Emily Bysouth born 1901. I have traced her ancestors back to circa 1540/50 to the village of Reed, Hertfordshire, England. If you have Bysouth/South ancestors in this area please send me details of your ancestors to see if our lines meet.

Bysouth family history

2001-05-09 15:56:54Z

Are there any people out there who are tracing the name Bysouth. I am in contact with quite a few world wide, including Australia and Canada, and am always interested in hearing of new family historians researching the family name. If you're a Bysouth, chances are your ancestors originated in Hertfordshire, England. I have (with help from other Bysouth historians) traced my family line back to the 1500's. I'd love to hear from other Bysouths.
