I am interested in the person whose surname is Staite because this was a spelling given for my great, great, great grandmother's surname in some records. She was called Elizabeth Mary (or Marie)) Stead(e) born 20/1/1786 and died 26/5/1866. She was born in Hotwells,Bristol and died, probably, in Coleford or nearby. There is a family story that her mother came from France. However the father (Peter) appears to have come from Monmouth as did his father William. The mother, who I think was French lived from 1750-1835 and was called Marie/Mary. The family always remember the name as Steade but it is recorded in some places as Stead, Steele and Staite. If anyone is related to the unfortunate 22 year old who died in World War 1 listed here I would be interested if they knew of any connection. Thanks.
