Find Ancestors

I very interested in Huyshe Yeatman-Biggs Bishop of Worcester, on my tree.

Graduated with a Doctor of Divinity (D.D.).
Vicar of Netherbury and Sydenham before becoming
Suffragan Bishop of Rochester in 1891

I can no longer find his Yeatman descendants, Including siblings, of his descendants, so if anyone would like to help me please make contact.

Perhaps a Biggs surname connection or Huyshe surname must be connected via his name, would be greatful to any leads.

Can't find the family in 1851 perhaps they were in Belgium.
Something very odd about the 1861 census. Hoythe (sic) and Emily down as son and daughter of Ada and Henry Hallett. Surely their mother was Emma!

From Cambridge Alumni entry Huyshe is noted as the third son of Harry and Emma.
First son was Harry Farr Yeatman 1839-1884.
Second son I think was Arthur Godolphin Yeatman (Biggs) born 1843 killed in India in 1898. It was from him that Huyshe inherited lands etc and changed his name to Yeatman Biggs as Arthur had done 20 years before, see below.

153/9

Title
Royal licence granted to Arthur Godolphin Yeatman that he and his issue may take the surname of Biggs and quarter the arms of Biggs with those of Yeatman. Signature of Queen Victoria.

Date
2 Jan 1878

Wow,
Thankyou for this information at a short time of posting.

So his Mother is Emma Biggs. So is she from of Stockton House, Wilts as her father?

I have Harry Farr Yeatman for his father born 1811
Mauston House, Dorset, England. Who are Harry's parents and siblings? I would like to go back to the origin of The yeatman.

Thankyou Moggie and Lewella very impressed, with all of this information to absorb, hope I don't get in a muddle.

I shall be in touch here,

Regards and have a nice weekend
