Looking   at the Gatehouse/Gittus etc   in  Hope and  Bodenham I had little extra success but I did  find the burial  at Hope on  7 April 1839  of an Ann  Gatehouse age 70 of   Juniper?? Hill  age 84.    Possible wife of William??

I checked the earliest Parish Book from 1720’s- 1780’s and found a few bits of interest.     
The first Gittus mentioned is 1772 when a William Gittus signs with others the appointment of an overseer for Highways
1739- Elenor Gittus given money for 12 days work 
1742 Thomas Gittus signs accounts
1757/1764 Edw Gittus mentioned- Writing to poor to work out whether he was giving or receiving aid
1777 William Gittoes/Gittus mentioned as Overseer of Poor
1780 William Gatehouse mentioned at a Vestry Meeting
1786 – At Parish Meeting it is agreed that William Gatehouse have warrent to take all persons that do not belong to the Parish before a Justice to  swear their  parish so that they may be removed
1787 William Gatehouse mentioned as a Church Warden

In the Parish Book for 1823 – 1835  William Gatehouse is mentioned a number of times and Ann Gatehouse is paid in cleaning the church at different  times

Sorry there isn’t more, but  interesting that there was a William Gittus around  as earlier as 1722

Best Wishes

Dear Kay,

Many thanks for the huge amount of information you have kindly noted down for me. My visit to Hereford Records Office is long overdue, but I will surely go through all the records you have listed for me.

The Parish Books are fascinating, but do depend on the handwriting of the individual.  A Williiam Vickress was the Vestry Clerk (husband of Elizabeth??) for a number of years in the 1820's and his writing was good :)

Looks like the weather may be milder next week for you   I think you may need quite a few days at the Record Office when you go!

Best Wishes Kay

Hello Cimbrio

I am really hoping that you are still on this site and will see my message. I cant tell you how exctied I was to see Elizabeth's name come up when I googled my 5xGreat Grandfather Thomas Gatehouse born in the 1790's in Hope-un-Dinmore. I have to admit my excited got the best of me and I couldn't read the remaining posts before messaging you so I am not sure if you have stated how Elizabeth is related to you but if you haven't could you possibly fill me in. Thank you so much for your time. I hope this message finds you well.

Dear Cimbrio

That would be wonderful. I am new to the site so if it takes a bit for me to reply to your private message please bare with me. It may take me a bit to find it as I have not really explored the site much yet. Thank you for your quick response.

Hello.
If you're still interested in Elizabeth Gatehouse I've recently seen a gravestone in Marden, Herefordshire of a married couple with that surname. It's dated in the 1700's.
I can send you the photograph of this gravestone if you'd like me to.
I can't give yiyouu the first named now but I only live a couple of miles away and I will go down and sent you more details and the photograph of the grave. Hope it may help.
