WILLIAMS and Weeks BRADFORD Wiltshire
« on: Wednesday 02 April 08 18:52 BST (UK) »
I have joined this site to try and find more information on two of my ancestors that are difficult to trace further info on.

I am looking for the parents  and any family information on Francis Yerbury Williams born in Bradford Wilts in 1802.  I have failed miserably to trace his parentage.  Also his wife Jane Weeks born in 1810 (place unknown).  I know from other family members that they have a vault in Bath Cathedral burial area.
I think they were associated with wool millers in Bradford.  The yerbury middle name carries on into later generations and I think it was probably Francis's mothers maiden name.  As I live in Yorkshire it is difficult to access original information files.  Can some help and shed some further light on this family line

Thanks

No luck with Francis, but I notice the IGI has plenty of Yerbury's in Bradford, Wilts in the 1600's - so I guess there is a Willimas/Yerbury marriage somewhere, if not Francis's parents then somewhere back in the family.
