Found a piece of paper written c1918 by I would guess, a relation of an Isabella THEXTON born c1811 and found in an old music score she had written about 1829
An attempt has been made of the family tree and starts abt 1750. The YEATS/THEXTON clan did live at Ashton House Beeetham, Cumbria at one time and were land owners.
The family papers are archived in Cumbria I understand.
The surnames on this tree includes:
THEXTON
YEATS
HUDSON
CARTMEL
NICKEL
WHITTLE
PEACHEY/PECHEY
PRESTON.

One relation, she writes, was the Rev J Francis who married a Miss Peaching ( probably PECHEY). The Reverened was Chaplin to the Duke of Wellington at one time (no dates given)

If anyone believes this may be part of their tree just ask and I will give you some more information.
