Hi about the Wye family, i have just found relatives of my fathers which has been hard work with the help of a few others simply because of the spelling of the name Wye, for some reason my dad changed the spelling of Why ( which he was born with) to Wye i think when he married my mum, i have gone back about four generations which starts in Berks and ends in Kilburn London

Re: Whye Family from Maryland

lcwhye — 2007-02-15 13:46:19Z

We are black. My grandfather was Elmer Reed Whye. His mother was Sadie Thomas. He was from Baltimore, Maryland. He had a sister named Maude. I think she was his half sister. Her daughter is named Patricia. Elmer Whye moved to Cleveland, Ohio. That is where we are from although I live in Florida now. Thanks for any info.

Re: Whye Family from Maryland

annekewhye — 2007-02-12 23:43:49Z

Hello. We are black but there are a lot of mixed Whye's as well. My grandfather Annon was part white. I have a 17 year old son and we are planning a trip this year for the 4th of July to Towson to visit the family for the holiday. We are going to the 4th of July parade in Towson. It is a huge parade and all of the family goes. It would be cool if you guys could come there too. I bet if we compared family member names some of my older Aunties would be able to tell us if we are related. Can you tell me some of your older Whye relatives names or nicknames? I will check with Aunt Audrey or Auntie Odessa and they will help out. They are pretty much the family historians.

Re: Whye Family from Maryland

TerrellWhye — 2007-02-12 22:31:19Z

My mom wasnt sure..... But are you and the whyes you know mixed or black?..........Our family is mostly black

Re: Whye Family from Maryland

annekewhye — 2007-02-02 19:34:11Z

I have actually communicated with David before. We found out that he is our cousin as well. I don't remember exactly how. David remembers my father being ill as a child and in the hospital with rubella or something like that. My father is Roland and his nickname is Tick. Is David's son still playing basketball? I believe he played at Columbia years ago. I haven't communicated with David since the early '90s. Tell me a little about yourself. I am 35, I have a 17 year old son and I am in Kansas right now. Do you have a myspace page? I have one and you can find me under my name. I am in Topeka, KS. If you go to myspace let me know. There is a picture of my son and I when we were in Towson over the 4th of July.

Re: Whye Family from Maryland

lcwhye — 2007-02-02 18:10:16Z

Yes, David is my cousin. His father(Elmer) and my father (Walter) were brothers. My grandfather was Elmer Whye.He had a sister named Maude lived in Maryland. I don't know any one else from Towson, Md.

Re: Whye Family from Maryland

annekewhye — 2007-02-02 16:15:13Z

Hi Terrell. I do not believe I know your mom. I am 35 years old and I am trying to find out who all of the relatives are. Ask your mom if she knows anything about family from Towson, MD. Our last name is so rare. I know my grandfather Annon Whye was of mixed race so we have many varieties of Whye's. Let me know what you find out from your mom.

Re: Whye Family from Maryland

TerrellWhye — 2007-02-02 15:40:21Z

annekewhye — 2007-01-29 14:48:00Z

Hello. I would like to know if you could assist me in tracing our roots. My grandfathers name is Annon Whye, he lived in Sparks, Maryland then moved to Towson, Maryland. He married a woman by the name of Gladys. They had several children - Roland, Audrey, Odessa, Viera, Menaris, Myrtise, Lulu, Leon, and a few more (I don't know all their names). There were a total of 13 children. My grandfather died in 1984. Can you help me trace our roots? Thank you.

Re: Whye Family from Maryland

annekewhye — 2007-01-29 14:40:47Z

Hi Terrell. Our last name isn't common at all. Do any of your relatives come from the MD area? Surprisingly, there are a lot of Whye's. I think it would be great if we could track down relatives and have a family reunion. There hasn't been one that I know of since I was a child.

Re: Relationship

annekewhye — 2007-01-29 14:37:46Z

Hello. I know I am reading this late. How are you. Are you saying that my grandfather (Annon Whye)was your fathers nephew? Did you know my grandfather? Do you know any of his children? Bea, Myrtise, Audrey, Odessa, Roland, Lulu, Speed, Baby Sis, Leroy, Viera, Menaris, Leon? Are you still in Maryland?

Re: Relationship

Hi Linda.

Are you related to David Whye? My grandfathers name was Annan and his wife was Gladys. They used to live in Sparks, MD and then moved to Towson. Do you know any of the Whye's in Towson, MD?

Re: Whye Family from Maryland

2005-09-12 03:26:41Z

Hi, I just came across this website and saw the message. My grandfather's family is from Maryland. His name was Elmer Whye. I come from the Whyes of Cleveland.

Re: Whye/Wye/Why in England

2005-08-24 19:41:27Z

My mother's father was HARRY WINTER WHY. He came from WIMBLEDON and was born around 1908. Either his parents or grandparents surname was BULL. He was stationed at CARDINGTON AIR FORCE BASE in Bedfordshire. Do you recognise his name? The reason I ask is because my mother has only seen him once and I would really like to get a photograph of him for her. All she can remember is that his hair was as black as coal.

Lydia,
Thank you. I think I posted a reply in the wrong place. I have no further info but my cousin may that I had not remembered.Can we talk by direct email?

Re: Whye/Wye/Why in England

lotus296 — 2005-01-18 06:07:11Z

My Wye's come from Ripley/Send & Woking - we have traced back to about 1860. My gggrandfather was Henry Wye, a lockkeeper on the River Wey. We even have an old photo of him!
I would love to know more about this family - it's the only one I have that is slightly unusual.

cheers,
Lesley

Wye/Why/ Wie/Whye -origins of name

lotus296 — 2005-01-18 06:07:11Z

My understanding is that Wye is a French name - but Norman not Hugenot. English surname dictionaries state that it is derived from the name de Wye. As other people researching this family have found records dating back to the 14th century, this name predates the arrival of French Hugenots, fleeing religious persecution in the 16th century

ps thanks to Lydia for all the variations in spelling- it may explain why we have been unable to trace my ggrandmothers birth / baptismal record. Her father was illiterate, so was reliant on others to fill in the administrative forms.

Re: I'm Looking Too

Alisianoi — 2004-02-11 14:35:28Z

My name is Edith Lenora Whye. My grandfather's name was Vernon K. Whye. I am from Wilmington, Delaware. My grandparents had a lot of children also. I believe around 15-17. I have a lot of relatives living in Delaware. A few also live in Florida. My cousin in Florida's name is Corinne Whye and her father's name is William (Bill) Whye.

Re: Whye/Wye/Why in England

Ann b.1824 in Waterbeach is the daughter of John Wye and MAry ANn Webb.

I can take the Wye family back another 8 generations. Further details will follow in a direct email.

All my info comes from the parish registers and any wills that may be available

Hi Denis,

A ggg grandmother of my wife, Ann Whye born around 1824 married a William Wallis in 1849 in Waterbeach. On the marriage certificate it gives her parrents as a John Whye and a Mary. Would you have any records on Ann's parents, grandparents etc, and could you let me know your source of information. Any info would be much appreciated.

regards

Charlie

Re: Whye/Wye/Why in England

2003-09-17 08:55:13Z

I am doing fairly extensive work tracing WYEs in Cambridgeshire, especially in the fens around Waterbeach. The family was established there between 1600 and 1900, except for 50 years in the 18C when they moved to the neighbouring village of Landbeach.

I am fairly sure that people set off to establish other groups as far away as Cambridge itself and Hitchin in Herts, where the common forenames Jeremiah and Robert are found.

hi lydia
my maiden name was Why and i was born in Middlesex. My father's family came from a village in Bucks and my great grandfather worked on Disraelis estate. I understand the name Why came from the French Guy and our ancestors were Huguenots.

there dosnt seem to be many Why's in UK but there are a lot in the US.

not sure if this helps you.

Re: Whye/Wye/Why in England

Hi, Perhaps you can help me with my rather elusive WYE ancestor. My 3xgt grandmother Ann WYE (b 1810 in St Lukes MDX and husband David WILLSON lived at 12 Wellington Row, Bethnal Green MDX when their daughter Julia was born in 1850 and in Bird Cage Walk, Bethnal Green with their 10 children in the 1851 census. I'd love to find Ann's parents and siblings.

Re: Whye/Wye/Why in England

2002-09-02 21:49:03Z

That's not one I know of but would like to know more! Do you know which ship?

Nelson lived 1758-1805 so gives us rough dates. His flagship, HMS Victory still lies in dry dock in Porstmouth at the dockyard - I was dragged round it on several school trips!

I haven't checked the records for the Portsmouth/Portsea churches but am aware that there was a small Wye branch in Portsmouth. My database fails me because it wont allow me to search on places. I do have a marriage between a John Wye and Mary Davis though on 23 Jun 1764. It's a long shot but still a possibility that it could be this John or one of his sons/nephews?

Let me know if you find anything.

Lydia

Re: Whye/Wye/Why in England

Katherine_Newton — 2002-09-02 02:44:52Z

Can you help? I am looking for anything about a sea going Wye, who was a Surgeon on board one of Nelsons ships. I know no more than that. I have a picture of him.

Whye/Wye/Why in England

2002-04-24 21:26:27Z

Please let me know if anyone can trace their Whye ancestors back to Southern England. There is a definite pockets of WYEs in the Surrey area. The spelling changes to WHY as you get closer to London. But I have come across all the following versions:

WYE
WHY
WHYE
WIE
WHEY
WEAY

and I'm sure there are some others. It's always nice to make connections so please let me know if you can trace back to this area or even if you have "lost" an ancestors roots and you would like me to check my database!

Hi Dawn. Yes, we are cousins. I emailed David a few years ago. I hope he remembers. He told me that he knows my Dad whose name is Roland (Tick) and my grandfathers name is Annon. David said he and my father were in the hospital at the same time when they were kids. Let me know if he remembers that.

Relationship

2000-09-27 15:46:02Z

Hi! My name is Dawn. David Whye from Columbus, MD is my uncle. You stated that we were cousins. Do you who is related to whom. My grandfathers name was Vernon K. Whye, from Butlertown.

Relatives

2000-09-27 15:34:49Z

Sorry, it took so long to get back. Your father is my cousin, Bertina is my mother. Have you found out any new information? My email address is dwhye@aol.com.

Whye Surname

2000-09-24 16:29:35Z

I am Patricia Whye. My father was Jeremiah Whye and My mother was Beatrice Whye, both now deceased. I was born and raised in a town called Worton, MD located kent county. My family is mostly on the eastern shore in chestertown, cambridge and sailsbury MD. Some have migrated to Dover,De and Chester,PA. My understanding is that this is an old eastern shore surname.

Good News

2000-08-21 04:09:41Z

That is great. I guess we did make a lot of progress seeing all we had we a lot of nicknames to go by. Yeah, Tick is my daddy. Does Mike ever talk to Odessa and the others he knows? I talked to my dad last night and he said that he recognized a couple of the names you gave me and said he believed they were his cousins. That is good. My husband and I are planning a trip to Towson in the spring. Maybe we can meet there or meet you in New York. My husband is from Gary, Indiana and has never been to the east coast. I have an 11 year old son and he has only been there as a baby. We need to keep in touch. You can e-mail me directly at robinson_akk_2000@yahoo.com. I will pass the information you gave me to my dad. Talk to you soon.

Something Good

2000-08-20 18:53:25Z

I talked to my cousin Mike in Towson and he said that Annon is related to us. If I understood him correctly he said that Tick is his cousin, and that Odessa is living right down the street from him now. He knows Gladys and alot of the others you named. So I guess we've made alot of progress here. If you have any questions or other information feel free to e-mail me at Ladisza@aol.com. And that goes for anyone that has further information. Thanks I look forward to hearing from someone soon.

Family

2000-08-11 04:09:00Z

I wish I had a name for you. I feel for you. More than likely my family is your family also. We all came from the Towson, Baltimore area. I have an aunt that you might want to try to contact that may be able to help you more. Her name is Odessa Scott Whye or even my aunt Audrey Whye. They know pretty much all of the relatives. It may have even been one of their sisters that is your mother. My father has 6 brothers and 7 sisters in Baltimore. I know all of my aunts children (I think). The only aunt I have that has one son is Lulu but I don't know that she is your mother. I hope this information helps you. Keep in touch. You can e-mail me personally at robinson_akk_2000@yahoo.com. Talk to you later.

Names

2000-08-10 05:08:12Z

I wonder if the Gladys your great aunt is my grandmother Gladys. My grandmother and grandfather moved to Towson from Sparks. I will do some checking too. I call my dad tonight and ask him some questions. Talk to you soon.

Further Information

2000-08-09 20:04:19Z

Hello and thanks very much for responding. Unfortunately, I don't have any names to offer. My adoptive parents refuse to tell me anything regarding my mother other than the fact that I have a brother that my mother kept. I don't know if he is older or younger or his name. I was placed in foster care at around 3 years of age and was placed in my parent's home at 5. I was not legally adopted until 17, and at that time I was asked if I wanted to meet my birth mother. I was angry and said no and because of that my adoptive mother feels she gave me a chance to know who my real mother was and since I refused I would have to find out on my own. I am 35 years old and I was born in Baltimore on June 4 1965, as far as I know, and my middle name is Lamont. I would appreciate any information you may have that could help me find my birth parents.

Here are some names

2000-08-09 10:04:58Z

I talked to my father about some of the names that you sent me, and only some ring a bell to him. I am only 26yo. and dont really know any of my cousins in Towson, but here are a few names that my father knows, most of them are nicknames: William Whye(greatgrandfather)(greatuncle Lenny),Raymond(Grandfather),(GreatAunts)Bess,Gladys,Bert,(GreatUncles)Howard,Harrison,James,Vernon,Bill,(Secondcousins)Michael,Link,Rabbit,Duffy,Teeny,Emanuel,Ann,pumpkin,joyce,emerson(spike),muffy(FirstCousins)Cheryl,Phil,Tony,Dante,Justin,Eric(Eriky) Bobbi,Manny. Some of these are nicknames, but he will find out the real names soon, there are alot more to name and I will have them for you soon. Hope this is helpful. They're in the Towson/Baltimore/Sparks areas. By the way I'm in NY and havent been to Maryland since I was a baby.
