Hi and many thanks for your reply.
I had actually forgotten all about the posting. I would have done this back in 2005 when I was just starting on the family researching thing myself.
I have not been able to definately confirm my findings either past my Great Grandfather William Yapp born c1840 in Birmingham. Although I can not find a birth record for him in Birmingham
He marrieed Hannah Maria Price in Bethnall Green London in 1865 buit her parents were also from Birmingham.
I believe William's parents were John and Sarah Yapp (Nee Taylor)
I have 3 other siblings for my William being:
Mary Ann or (Marianne) born. c1832. Married William Bacon??
John born. c1834. Married Ann Hill??
Frederick born. 26th Oct 1836. No marriage details.
John 1834 parents. I have as being:
John and Lucy Yapp (Nee Roberts)Both born about 1791 in Birmingham.
Married in Aston Jaxta.9th July 1810.
John c1791 parents. I have as being:
John c1767 and Elizabeth Yapp (Nee Fairfield.) c1762. Both from Birmingham.
I would look forward to hearing from you so that we can exchange details in greater detail.
I don't yet have a John of 1874 in my records but I'm sure we would have some connection here somewhere.
Perhaps my John of 1834 had another son John about 1874.
I do have a daughter for him being:
Annie of c1868 born in Bethnal Green so it is all in the right location.
