I have traced my family tree on my mother's side as far back as 1816 with NATHANIEL YEADON who married SARAH ENGLAND also born 1816. If anyone has any information on Nathaniel or Sarah, I would definitely welcome it.
Nathaniel and Sarah had 7 children, John 1836, Eliza 1840, Henry 1842, Ann 1845, twins Sarah and Mary 1847 and Thomas 1850.
JOHN YEADON married Nanny (or Nancy) Penny and they had three children WALTER 1861, Mary 1851, Sarah E Yeadon 1859 and Bessy 1865. At some time just after 1865 JOHN must have died or divorced Nanny as she remarried John Kellet Airton, and had at least three more children Lois 1871, John 1874 and Herbert 1881.
WALTER YEADON married CLARA (cant find her maiden name) but she was born 1863, and they had at least three children, Annie 1890, Florence 1884 and Henry 1886.
HENRY Yeadon was my great grandfather, and all I know about him was that he was an excellent sportsman and artistic. He was employed for some time as a coach painter, doing coats of arms etc. He was married to Martan Lupton. Martha Anns mother Louise had about 9 brothers, many with unusual names like Frampton, Lewis, Enos and Reuben. They had 4 children after 1901, Harry, Gladys, Jack and Clifford. My grandad Clifford was born in 1910.
My grandad married his kind of cousin Alice Maude Emily Clayton. Alice (well Maude's) father was Clifford's grandfather. Clifford and Maude had 4 children Pat 1936, James c1942, Gillian c1944, Diane c1946.
