Ambrose Henry Spencer Kyte (1822 – 16 November 1868) was a merchant and politician in colonial Victoria (Australia).〔 〕 Kyte was born in Nenagh, Tipperary, Ireland, the son of Stephen Kyte and his wife Margaret, ''née'' Mitchell.〔 〕 Kyte arrived in Melbourne in January 1840, finding work as a brewer's labourer.〔 Kyte opened a hay and corn store in Bourke Street, Melbourne in 1845, later he expanded into general merchandise and invested in urban properties.〔 In September 1858 Kyte offered a sum of £1000 towards the expenses of an exploring expedition to cross the Australian continent from south to north. This led to the despatch of the ill-fated Burke and Wills expedition in August 1860. In August 1861〔 Kyte stood for East Melbourne as a candidate for the Victorian Legislative Assembly, and defeated Edward Langton,〔 who in February 1866 defeated him in a contest for the same constituency.〔 Kyte represented Richmond from January 1867 to December 1867.〔 Kyte died in Carlton, Victoria on 16 November 1868, survived by his wife, a son and two daughters.〔 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ambrose Kyte」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
