Frederick Chute:

"I know very very little of my family history; however, here goes and I hope it helps: Chutehall was a large establishment house outside Tralee, there were two branches of Chutes: one remained in Tralee and the second came to Listowel. The first to come to Listowel (I think) was my great grandfather Roland Chute who married this woman named Margaret Enright. I got this lady's name from my cousin Jed, so I am hoping it is correct. Roland had some money because he built one large house with two smaller houses adjacent on Charles Street that he was hoping would be the main commercial street of the town (it wasn't), he was a painter, as his descendants are to this day. He had a number of children - Frederick was my grandfather and his brother (whose name I forget) would have been Margaret's grandfather or Janet's great grandfather. I remember my mum mentioning a Dick or Richard as being a son, an Arthur, maybe a Trevor and a Francis - the male names have always been handed down at least in Listowel.
Frederick my grand father had eight children and married a lady called Margaret Lyons. The childrens' names were Roland, Arthur (my father), Francis, Trevor, Vera, Celia, Mary Teresa, and Margaret (or Peg), not necessarily in that order of birth. I of course know much about this generation, and if you need help I know most of my cousins. My father and his three brothers have all passed away this past number of years, and actually there has been quite a number (four) of young male Chutes who have died in their early twenties and a little older this past five years - they are a huge loss to those left behind.
The interesting thing in my mind is that the Chutes in Tralee who were related to us were the professional people, dentists, doctors, etc., and did not associate with the Chutes of Listowel, even though they were the closest towns to each other - 17 miles. The Chutes in Listowel were the working class and I never understood why the disassociation. My father lived in New York where he worked and communication between my uncles etc. re: this separation was never discussed. I have often thought maybe the original Roland was born out of wedlock and shipped off to Listowel with some money? Would you know who this man was, why was he a painter and who were his parents? I would love to know his history and of course my history.
I run a little business in Halifax, Nova Scotia - my web site is http://www.thepebble.ca ... I married a Listowel man and we have one daughter Elizabeth.
