I'm confused and can't sort out this query my head hurts.
I have what I Think is
two families but cant sort out which and who belongs to who. Or is it just one family? given the Baptism's it could be, but Which Eleanor is the mother ??
There are two marriages in Shropshire for
George Yates to Eleanor.they are as follows
George Yates married Eleanor
Hart in Madeley Shropshire 9 July 1821
George Yates married Eleanor
Fletcher Dawley Magna 22 April 1821
( no occupations are listed on the original records on find my past sadly.
I then looked for all children born to George and Eleanor in shropshire
the following is the full list of baptism's for Parents George and Eleanor
Ann Yates 4 Aug 1822 Madeley father Lab
Martha Yates 24 Apr 1824 Madeley father Lab
Jane Yates 4 June 1826 Madeley Father Lab
George Yates 8 June 1828 Madeley father Lab

also
William Yates 12 Jan 1823 Dawley Green father Engineer
George Yates 30 Jan 1825 Lawley Wellington father Engineer
Benjamin Yates 10 May 1829 Hinkshay father Engineer
Thomas Yates 10 May 1829 Hinksey father Engineer poss twin to Benjamin above
Edward Yates 18 Sept 1831 Dawley Green father Engineer ( Edward buried 22 Sept 1833)

It Looks like one of the George Yates's remarried on 18 May 1834 to Sarah Wall in Dawley Magna, Shropshire, England on the Pallots marriage record George is marked as a Widower.
I can't track a death of Eleanor Yates in Shropshire Buried 27 Sept 1831 Madeley Shropshire ( Thanks to Leka for that information)
