The Woodhouse, Temple Guiting?

[judymg]

Hello - I have just stumbled across and joined this site while looking up "The Woodhouse" from a picture I have recently discovered in an old! trunk.  The back of the picture reads:  "The ancestral  mansion where your Great great grandmother lived Alex (my grandfather-Alexander).  Lower Guiting Gloucestershire.  We stayed near at a griends cotage and Jess had me chasing round the church & the bone year, looking for the twigs on the family tree.  We went over the house, there is some glorious oak panelling in it."  It is a small picture but definitely the same place as what appears to be called "The Manor" today.  Naturally there is no date on the picture nor does it say who wrote the message.  Here is what I know:   
                                  Alexander William Wilkie b1893

OOps, sorry I hit a button I shouldn't have, new to the game....this message is the completion of my previous one.

So,       Paternal Side:       Alexander William Wilkie b. 1893 (Alex in note)
                                       William Frederick  b. 1867 c. 1908  m. Jessie Allan Wylie
                                       Frederick William b. 1843-1845  m. Ellen Lusty
                                       Edmund b. 1826  m. Isabella
                                       great-greats-unknown

            Maternal Side:      Jessie Allan Wylie (Alex's mother) b.1864
                                       Kezia East b.1834 m. Alexander Wylie b.1835:Scotland)
                                       Susannah b. 1796 m. John East b.1797
                                       great-greats-unknown

Do any of these names ring true and correlate to any of the documents I have read about in other posts about "The Woodhouse." I would love to hear from you if they do or if anyone has any other leads.  Is there a site where the ownership/occupants of a heritage home, besides a census, can be looked up? I apologize for the typos in the previous post, my father would be appalled!  My keyboard has sticky keys and due to the premature post, I didn't get a chance to proof read.  Thank you in advance, Judy (in Canada)

Wow!!  Amazing information Capetown.  Thank you so very much.  This is definitely what I was looking for and the springboard I needed.  I so appreciate the time you took to find this for me.  Now if I can just find the other side....
Cheers, Judy

Assume you are trying to follow Kezia (nee EAST) husband's line (Alexander WYLIE c1834 born Scotland) both he and his father (Alexander) were Cabinet Makers according to the marriage certificate.


I'll have to go through this census return - as it seems most likely - but as it's Scottish - can't see the whole page

Perth, 1851 census

WYLIE

Alexander - 61 - cabenet maker master, employing two men - born Mensdio, Perthshire

Alexander - 17 - cabinet maket - born, Perth, Perthshire - as was his siblings.  ***
Maria - 10
Andrew - 8

Can see on Ancestry Alexander aged 17 - baptism, no date, but says, Alexander WYLIE and Maria MACKAY

 Capetown, I am interested in following the Alexander Wylie line,thank you again for all the information. I was able to find out that John and Susanna lived in the Woodhouse!  I am also interested in following the William Frederick Wilkie, who married Jessie Allan Wylie, AW's daughter.  I believe they are also from the Gloucester area. I believe his father was Frederick William married to Ellen Lusty but that is as far as I go.

Thanks again, Judy
