Guest jessicahellis Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Hi vox. My piece of paper has quite a few of these names on but I havent got far enough to know how or if they are related to us-can scan and put on yor post tonight if you would like to see..just wondered if you had heard of winifred unwin who was born and bred in sheffield or my granddad who was called joseph ernest kitchener ellis? Trying to find a link? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vox Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I sent an email to my cousin who is the one doing research at the moment. This is his repy I've checked on marriages and I cant find any marriage between a Styring and anyone called Unwin or Ellis. As you know, Uncle Harold's tree only shows the male lines and for these, only a few spouses surnames are shown - none of them Unwin or Ellis. If Unwin was Winifred's married surname, her mother's maiden name could have been Styring. I checked on the marriages of men called Unwin to someone called Winifred and found 3 within the likely timeframe - 1900 to 1920 (although this is only a guess). The maiden names were Winifred Merrit, Winifred Lee and Winifred Tym - no marriages to Styring recorded for any of these surnames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can i ask where you got the information from so i can try and research a little deeper? thanks so much. Jess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HughW Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Vox Is Frank Rusby Styring, any relation, his name is on Crookes Cemetery Memorial M.G.C. Died 9/4/17 Buried at Beaurains, Arras, France Baptisms from Sheffield Indexers: STYRING, Ernest Lenton (of 88 Sydney Rd, born 1892-08-21). Baptised June 23, 1895, by F.W.Stubbs at St Stephens, Netherthorpe. Parents name(s) are Mary & Charles Percy (Optician). STYRING, Frank Rusby (of 88 Sydney Rd, born 1889-11-08). Baptised June 23, 1895, by F.W.Stubbs at St Stephens, Netherthorpe. Parents name(s) are Mary & Charles Percy (Optician). STYRING, Helen (of 88 Sydney Rd, born 1888-01-23). Baptised June 23, 1895, by F.W.Stubbs at St Stephens, Netherthorpe. Parents name(s) are Mary & Charles Percy (Optician). I think the tree posted above lists Frank and Ernest (without their middle names) as the sons of 'Charles P' born 1857, who was son of Thomas STYRING and Mary POOLE. Thomas was a first cousin of Benjamin Buckingham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Buffrey Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 My Ancestor, Benjamin Buckingham Styring) was the 5th son of John Styring (1797-1836) who married Mary (surname unknown). John's younger brother James (1802-1842) married Mary Garlick. Their second son Thomas Styring (Benjamin Buckingham Styring's cousin) married Mary Poole. Thomas and Mary's son was Charles Percy Styring. He married Mary Rusby in 1881. They had a son Frank Rusby Styring in 1889. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Buffrey Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 A correction to my post of 9th May - Charles Percy Styring's wife was Lily Rusby not Mary Rusby. Also, I have found another Styring/Rusby link. In 1875, Walter Buckingham Styring married Elizabeth Rusby. On the 1881 census, Walter and his family were living at 183 Douglas Road, Neepsend. 2 doors away, number 179 was the home of Lily Rusby and her sister Ann. (A few months before Lily married Charles Percy). Walter's middle name of Buckingham is a clear indication that he was related to Charles Percy - perhaps his brother. The location of Walter's and Elizabeth's home to that of Lily suggests that Elizabeth was also closely related to Lily - perhaps sisters. Walter and Elizabeth were therefore very likely to have been a factor in how Charles Percy and Lily met. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Hickinbotham Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Hello, my great-grandmother was Florence Styring, born around 1897 in the Eccleshall area. Her father was Ellis Styring, born around 1867, I assume from the same area. It would be great to make the connection to this fascinating document. Please help me if you can! many thanks, Simon Hickinbotham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EllisSearcher Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 The Ellis's and Styrings seem to have many connections. As another novice to working out my family history, it’s been really helpful that my ancestors had a habit of using surnames as Christian names. I wonder which branch of the Ellis line Jess belongs to? I'm a descendent of Walter and Harriet (nee Elliott) of Summer Street. Update: My connection is to Edward Eadon Styring married to Norah Millicent Ada Ellis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
