I have already mentioned my ggg granddad Robert Hyett and the Hyett's of Herefordshire in a previous post. This is the link to that post:
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,384168.0.html
Robert Hyett was born 9 Jan 1812 in Fulford, York, Yorkshire and he was the son of James Hyett my gggg granddad who was born about 1774 in Huntley, Gloucestershire. I found him in the 1851 census in Huntley aged 78 and listed as a pensioner.
From searching other trees on Ancestry I found his marriage to a Susannah Ladle on 16 Feb 1794 and 5 younger children besides Robert. The oldest child was William born 1800 in Darlington, Devon. Followed by James born 1802 Edinburgh, Scotland. Susannah born 1804 Longford, Ireland. John born 1807 Southampton, Hampshire. Thomas born 1809 Cantebury, Kent. Robert was the last child between James and Susannah.
I also found he from other trees he died 17 Dec 1852 in Huntley. His wife Susannah is listed as being born in 1772 in Norwich, Norfolk.
I could not comprehend why their children should be born in different locations, sadly long before the censuses. One tree did mention he was a soldier in the British Army. This would make sense. How would I go about finding out in which regiment he served? Are they any members on this forum who share James Hyett as an ancestor who know which regiment he served in? Either way I shall be grateful of any and all advice offered my way concerning the Hyett family as this is as far back in the line as I've gone.
Best wishes,
Bosuns Call

Hi Bosuns Call, welcome to the Gloucestershire Board 
Looking at burials in Huntley can't see James Hyett  There is a Susan Hyett aged 78 buried 22nd December 1851. This is from the Forest of Dean Family History Society transcriptions online, free to search but you need to register. http://www.forest-of-dean.net/
Hyett is not an uncommon name in this area, you need to find a definite link from Robert to James, do the trees you found give sources? Did James leave a Will?
If he was a soldier in the British Army, put a request on the Armed Forces board, where someone will be able to point you in the right direction to search for any records regarding his army service. Include a link to this thread, to save duplication of effort.
No need for your post to be deleted, very often helps to have background information.
Regards
Susan

By the way, it might be an idea to confine your queries to what you need to know rather than giving a full history of what you've been told/found.
This is absolutely the reverse of what we prefer!!
Please do give all relevant information - and telling us where you found us allows us to draw conclusions about its reliability (or otherwise!) so that should be included.
There is nothing worse than chasing around looking for something - only to discover that the basis is " a family story" rather than a document as we has supposed.
Chas knows better than to be rude to new posters on the Gloucestershire board and he can be very helpful, so I trust you won't be put off!
Kind regards, Arranroots

Hi Arranroots,
I shall not be put off from posting. Perhaps he was having an 'off' day? We all have one of those from time to time.
I still have a known Gloucester connection with Robert Hyett's wife Ann. In the censuses Ann is consistent about her birth, which is about 1812.
In the 1871 census, in Llandinabo Class: RG10; Piece: 2689; Folio: 30; Page: 7 Ann claims to have been born in Huntley, Gloucestershire.
In the 1861 census, in Llandinabo Class: RG9; Piece: 1815; Folio: 97; Page: 8 Ann claims to have been born in Longhope, Gloucestershire.
In the 1851 census, in Llandinabo Class: HO107; Piece: 1976; Folio: 569; Page: 4 Ann again claimed to have been born in Longhope, Gloucestershire.
On Ancestry, in 'those' dubious family trees, they claimed that Ann's maiden name was either Field or Drew and that she was born in Westbury-on-Severn, Gloucestershire.
With my census search alone I think there must be a link with Ann Hyett and Gloucestershire so, I will continue to search and post on the Gloucestershire board.
Best wishes,
Bosuns Call

Hi
I took a look at the Ancestry trees for your ancestor. There are a few with Ann in them, very interesting that some quote Ann Drew and others with Ann Field and one with Ann Field Drew. Well I checked the FoD site and I found a Ann Field; you may want to take a look as suggested by Susan in an earlier message.
However, there is a record of a marriage to Robert Hyett in May 1834 at St Mary De Lode in Gloucester in one of those ancestry trees. Worth persuing?!
Tomorrow I will be going to Gloucester Records Office. I will take a look at both the parish records for Westbury on Severn and at St Mary De Lode for you. This will then help you move in the right direcetion. I will PM you with the info.
Kind regards

I may at last be able to piece together some of my Hyett family tree thanks to RootsChat! I firmly believed that if my ggg grandfather Robert Hyett could be found in York and if I could corroborate the facts about his father James being a soldier and if I could get hold of his military records then I could build up a picture of the Hyett family.
I posted a thread in the Yorkshire section asking for a look-up of Robert Hyett and the brilliant Pinetree came up trumps for me. The link to this thread is below:
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,392590.0.html
Pinetree was able to confirm that Robert was born 9 Jan 1812, baptized 19 Jan 1812 and that he was the son of James and Susanna (HYATT) and James was a Sergeant in the 2nd Dragoon Guards (Queens Bays).
I have since visited the 1st The Queen’s Dragoon Guards and obtained the military records of James Hyett. This seems to be from where the people with trees on Ancestry found their information. I now believe that one of the members who has since made their tree private had paid the £25 like myself to obtain the records and get this information.
James and Susannah's children are listed in the muster rolls as follows:
William baptized 31 Aug 1800 at Totnes, Devon.
James born 1802 at Piershill Barracks, Edinburgh.
Susannah born 1804 at Longford, Ireland.
John born 1807 in Southampton, Hampshire.
Thomas born 1809 in Canterbury, Kent.
Robert baptized 9 Jan 1812 in Fulford, Yorkshire.
After being discharged and pensioned out of the army James returned with his family to Huntley, Gloucestershire his place of birth. James was listed as being born c1773 and having died 11 Jul 1852. So I do have a definitive link with Huntley.
I have a few queries about James' military career which I shall post in the armed forces section and which I shall post a link to from this thread.
Best wishes,
