Whilst searching for the long lost Yewdall family?
Came across census entry for Leeds listed family,head born in Poland,wife Germany + kids Yorkshire.
Apparently they were given the Yewdall name on entry to the UK.
Could anyone explain how this could happen.

Hello, I have been told that my grandmother's family is of Jewish origin, specifically Manchester Jews, here name was Jessie Yewdall and she was born in Yorks, and married John Payley, and lived in the Skipton area. Sorry I haven't any dates but she must have been born around 1910. Please could anybody provide me with any information, especially concerning the jewish connection. Thanks.

My earlier reply to this post seems to have gone astray!
My information relates to the Jewish Yewdall family living in Leeds West Yorkshire. (Click on link below)

Further information can be obtained by looking arround this site by looking up under Jewish links,
Hope this is of help.

Jessie is also my Grandmother and my dad was told that the Yewdalls were of Jewish origin. He said his mother used to refer to 'Icci' Yewdall but isn't sure if this was an actual person or just a racist stereotype. I haven't been able to trace any Jewish ancestry and they seem to have come from Bradford.

Are you in a position to advise on which parts of Bradford your relations came from.
The Yorkshire Yewdall named families were living in and arround Idle Bradford and West Leeds.
The Hebrew named Yewdalls came to Leeds and then moved over to Manchester.
