gylesgirl and I have been in contact about our Gyles family line. The Charles she mentioned in her reply to you that we are trying to tie down was the son of Thomas Samuel Charles Gyles (1846-1921) and Susan Phylinda Lamphere (1852-1895). Our Charles shows different birthyears on different census records. He did live in Iowa and we believe he married Matilda Gunn there. Do you have a marriage record for Charles and Matilda? A marriage record might give us Charles' parents' names so that we could confirm if this was the same Charles. Also, if Charles and Matilda's son Robert L.'s middle name was Lamphere, there's a good chance it's the same Charles that we have. Since our Charles' mother's maiden name was Lamphere.

Hello,

Unfortunately I never got any further than the information below:

1. Robert Lamphere Gyles was born April 16, 1903 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, USA

Notes for Robert Lamphere Gyles:
In the 1910 census Robert and his brother Charles (born in 1905), both whom were born in Iowa were living with their Uncle? Charles A. and Aunt? Louisa, last name couldn't be read. Charles A. was born in Iowa also and was 34 yrs old. Louisa was 35 yrs old. They lived in Montana

More About Robert Lamphere Gyles:
Occupation: Airbrake inspector, on Grandmother's birth certificate
Residence: 1910, 31 Harlowton, Meagher, Montana from 1910 census

A friend had pulled some of the information off the census records for me and that's as far as I was able to get. I haven't worked on it in a long while. The only actual record I have is my grandmother's birth certificate stating that Robert Lamphere Gyles is her father. He was born in 1903 but the month and date were written on the certificate.

Sorry I can't be of more help with it. I eventually had planned to get a membership to be able to get onto the census myself but haven't gotten a chance to do that yet and may not for a while.
