Helen Report 21 Feb 2008 08:52

I'm trying to find any information on George Yates, father of GeorgeYates born c1861. George Yates junior married Mary Ellen Peacock 26/03/1883 at St. Philips Church Sheffield. I believed George Yates jnr to be born in Sheffield but have had no success. I did find BMD references for George in Sheffield, but neither has father George listed. From the marriage certificate that I have George's father is listed as George Yates, occupation cutler.

Can anyone help with any information?

Thanks

Jacky

Possible 1881. How strange that his wife was never with him.

Thanks for all this information, I had found the death on BMD, but was unsure if it was the right George. Having seen the rest of the information it certainly fits.
I had come across a George (junior) living with his mother, Emily (widower) in the 1881 census aged 19. His occupation was a carter, which actually fits with the 1901 census details that I have for my great grandfather, George (junior).
So this is why I had become confused, something certainly seems very strange.

Thanks, once again.
