Hi People,

I am also researcing the Yapp family but they seem to be from Tenbury rather that Ludlow.
My primary interest centres around a chap called Henry Yapp who was born in 1818 in Tenbury and his wife Elizabeth. If my research is correct, he married very late in life and his wife was considerably younger than him. They had 2 sons and his wife re-married about a year after the guy's death in 1891. This is the link to my tree as she is a distant relation by her 2nd marriage.
Not sure if any of these people appear in your research but would be interested to hear if they do. I am especially keen to trace the marriage whcih I think was in the 1850's.

If any one hase come across this family, any information would be appreciated.

Thanks

I have just discovered the parents of my 3x gt granny Elizabeth Yapp b 1813 Ludlow.  They were Richard and Jane Yapp.  As far as I can discover, there was only one other sibling, Abraham  b1811 d 1812.  Elizabeth married Evan Thomas James in 1836 and made her home in Presteigne.  Does anyone have any idea about Richard and/or his wife Jane and whether he was born in Ludlow, or a village nearby, please?

I am an American living in Illinois. My great, great, great grandfather was Richard Yapp born in Herefordshire England in November 1814. He married Elizabeth Richards, born in England in 1807, in 1838, and they came to America in 1850, first to Ohio and then settled in Ridgeway, Wisconsin.

Sandyq: You mentioned in one of your posts you know much about the Herefordshire Yapps. I would love to learn everything I can about my lineage prior to Richard Yapp I as I have no information. I know this is very close to the Welsh border, and therefore, I have Welsh relatives, as well.

One of their children, Richard Yapp II, b. 1841, married Jane Roberts, b. 1843 (Illinois) on April 27, 1861, but her parents were Joseph Roberts born in Cornwall England and Elizabeth Rogers, also born in Cornwall. They also had a son and named him Richard III, b. 1864, who married Rebecca Jane Lewis, b. 3/28/1870. Her father was William Lewis born in Wales. Her mother was Elizabeth Pascoe born in England in 1830 and died in 1913. Rebecca's brother Evan Lewis became a famous wrestler in Madison, Wisconison called "The Strangler" Lewis.

I would love to hear from anyone with info on the Herefordshire Yapps prior to Richard Yapp born in 1814.

Thank you!

Sandy

Would LOVE to know if any of you Yapps is familiar with a migration of Yapps from Western England/Eastern Wales area to New Jersey, USA, in the 1700s?, but I've had SUCH a hard time connecting my tree across the Atlantic. Here's what I DO know about my earliest DNA-verified Yapp ancestor (verified through a distant cousin also living in the U.S.):

My 5x great grandfather, Samuel Yapp, was born in Deerfield, Cumberland, New Jersey, USA, in 1742. He married a woman named Susanna Hall, and she gave birth to my 4x great grandfather, Thomas Yapp, in 1778, also in New Jersey. (Wond

Samuel Yapp's parents are often cited as Thomas Yapp (b. 1711 in England) and Lydia/Liddia Mills (b. 1714 in New Jersey to Welsh-born parents). Thomas Yapp's origins have been variously cited as Shopshire, Gloucestershire, and Herefordshire. Not sure which is correct. Guessing the immigration must have been between 1711 and 1740. No further info!

Hello everyone, I have recently picked up my research threads again, with particular emphasis on my Yapp line.  I recognise a few names in the earlier/older posts on this thread.

I am particularly interested in the John Yapp marriage to Mary Jones in Lydbury North Shropshire on 12/05/1750. I am now as sure as I will ever be that they are my GGGGGG-GPs.  After that I believe the line is to their son Thomas Yapp (m Elinor Evans 1779), and on to George Yapp (1st marriage to Elizabeth Smith 1812), Henry Yapp (b~1828 Bromfield/Ludlow, partner Sarah Westwood), and Mary Ann Yapp b~1854.  Mary Ann married a James Powles but their son James (my GGF) took his mother's name for reasons unknown.  Henry is the Yapp who moved from the Ludlow area to Oldbury in the West Midlands and laboured in the blast furnaces of the Black Country rather than the fields of Shropshire.  Another couple of generations produced me, b West Bromwich 1957.

Happy to share anything that may be of interest, and particularly happy if anyone has direct knowledge through oral history or other sources as to where the line goes beyond John & Mary.
