I am searching for my grandmother's family called Styan, of Whixley. She was Emma Styan, born in 1873, who married my grandfather Anthony Kitchen in London in 1892. They moved to Gateshead, where she had her children. Her father was Charles Styan, born in 1825, which is where my father Charles Kitchen got his name.
There were brothers - Charles, Henry, and Mathew, there may have been more, and also a sister, Laura - and perhaps other sisters. As my father was in the regular RAF and because of the war I never knew any member of his family. I would love to find some of my Yorkshire relatives.
