Arthur Chute and Helena Ridgway Chute:

The surname may be spelled either "Ridgway" or "Ridgeway" - family researchers have concluded that "Ridgway" was the originally spelling, and the "e" was added later.
That Helena and Richard Ridgway were siblings is theory only, based upon the time frame, the location (Waterford County, Ireland) and the name of Richard's daughter by his wife Kathleen Mary Atkinson, Helena Chute Ridgeway. The supposition is that "Helena Chute Ridgeway" was named after "Helena Chute, nee Ridgway"; and at the moment, I assuming this is a niece, born after the marriage of Helena Ridgway to Arthur Chute, and named for her father's sister.
There is no proof to back up this theory; further research and confirmation is needed.
There is also a theory that a member of this family is the ancestor of William Burleigh Chute <gp8561.htm> of Fiji, as "Burleigh" also appears as the middle name of Arthur Chute & Helena Ridgway Chute's daughter, Jane Burleigh Chute.
