Find Ancestors

Think she married after1901 and was at that time living in Balshall Heath Worcs. Millions of thanks, Kate

Nothing for her on free BMD. Do you not have any more information - name of husband ??

Hi, yes...sort off! She married aThomas Henry Yapp Eaton....I say sort of cos we haven't been able to find him anywhere except possibly as Thomas Henry Yapp...no eaton. On my G-dad's Birth C (1904) he is down as Thomas Henry Yapp Eaton...would love to know more! Kate

Have been on to Family Relatives and checked marriages between 1901 and 1910. There is nothing for Goldsmith/Eaton or Goldsmith/Yapp

Thanks so much for doing that....does it mean?.... Could it be? ....That they were never married? His name is on the birth certificate and her name is given as Emily Eaton. Could she do that if they were not married? Is there anywhere else to look? Thanks again, Kate

hiya, on the birth cert does it state mothers name as eaton formally something?????? It seems to me if you cant find a Yapp-eaton then perhaps he took her name ie as a doubled barrelled name, without actually marrying her, does that sound likely?? in other words, they merged the two surnames, blah blah Yapp, blah blah Eaton hence Yapp-Eaton does that make sense?? julie

Hi Julie, Yes, her name is written as Emily, Eaton, formerly Goldsmith, His name is Thomas, Henry Yapp Eaton -Upholsterer, journeyman. the baby is Henry Thomas Yapp Eaton. The mother went to register the birth 3 months after the birth. What do you reckon? Did they marry?? Kate

hiya, from info you have just given, i would say yes she did marry, goldsmith being maiden name, he was born in 1904 yes? i would use ancestrys complete BMD index, and work backwards from dob, do you have him/her on any census?? julie

Hi Julie, I have Emly and her parents on censuses from 1871-1901 (people have sen them in on the board.....I don't have membership to ancestry yet) but no mention at allof Thomas Henry Yapp Eaton ....all I know about him is on his son's birthc and what my Mum remembers being told ie that he died before his daughter (Maud) was born 1907 ish and that he was about 67 when he died. Anything you could find would be fantastic please! Kate x

There is another thread about this couple.........there may be info on there which helps with search................ Reg

right then, Name: Maud Eva Y Eaton Year of Registration: 1908 Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar District: Kings Norton County: Staffordshire, Warwickshire, Worcestershire Volume: 6c Page: 459 this is birth, it could be Mauds, you can order cert with mothers name as ref check, or better still her maiden name, then you'll have something else to work with will keep nosing around, for his death julie ancestrys BMD is FREE to search all you need do is register, and then you can search your sox off :) julie

so this is grandad death?? Name: Henry Thomas Y Eaton Birth Date: 24 Feb 1905 Death Registration Month/Year: Nov 1984 Age at death (estimated): 79 Registration District: Poole Inferred County: Dorset Volume: 23 Page: 628 and birth Name: Henry Thomas Y Eaton Year of Registration: 1905 Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar District: Aston County: Warwickshire Volume: 6d Page: 455 and as you have said, because he was registered 3 months after, he was actually born in 1904, oct-nov-dec yes? julie

you know, I am almost even more confused now! My mum thought that her father was named after a business partner of his father's (the Yapp bit) but noew that I know that his father also had Yapp in his name it would seem that it was my mum's garndfather who was named after the business partner.(furniture maker).. if so, then is the first Thomas you found for me old enough? you'd never have thought Yapp would be such a popular name! Thank you so much for finding all this out!! Anything else you can uncover would be very welcome...eg death of Thomas H Y ( Eaton) death in around 1907? You're brilliant! Kate

Actually his certificate says his birth was registered in May but I remember his birth date well, 24th February...he always asked for a silver shadow rolls royce! Kate

on the 1901 for Thomas henry yapp and his wife Adele is there an addres? Thanks, Kate
