My Shropshire interest is the Yapp's and Rawlings from Ludlow,

Recently met my late fathers elder brother  Bernard Yapp(who I didn't know existed)
he is 97 and still lives in Ludlow.

Have got lots of data on Yapp's from Hereford and Shropshire if anyone is interested.

Hi:

My gg grandmother was Ann Yapp, baptized as "Ann James Yapp" in Clungunford on 9 Feb 1840. She married Edwin Powell of Culmington. Ann is buried at Hopesay and died on 12 Jun 1815. I believe that her parents were Richard Yapp and Ann Botwood who married in Clungunford on 10 June 1837.

I be interested in finding out if you have any further information on this Yapp line or indeed if you have any information about them at all.

Thanks,
Adrian Powell

Eric,

Have tried sending you a response but don't know whether you received it to ask where your Yapp's originated from.

Adrian,

Sorry for the delay in replying.
I know on the Latter Day Saints site Ann is shown as Ann James Yapp but on the indexes she is shown simply as Ann Yapp (Dec qtr Clun XV111 45 )
Richard and Ann Yapp (nee Botwood) had a son Richard baptised in 1840.
He is shown on the 1881 Census living in Wolverhampton.
Don't know of any connection with this family and my line of Yapp's as yet.
Regards
Sandra

I was very interested to see your message on the Yapps, as I don't come across many of them.

My Great Great grandparents were John Richard Pugh & Elizabeth Yapp. Elizabeth was from Lydbury North, Shropshire, as were her ancestors traced back to 1645. John and Elizabeth married in 1870, Lydham, but had their first 3 children on the Wirral, Cheshire. They then returned to John's hometown of Bishop's Castle for 3 years, where they had 2 more children, before moving north again by 1877, this time in Liverpool.

Elizabeth Yapp was born in 1839 to John Yopp & Martha Thomas, who had married in 1833. Elizabeth's siblings were Eliza, Emma, Hannah, George, John & Richard.

Elizabeth's father, John Yopp, was born 1810. His parents were John (1783) & Nancy

This John, 1783, was son of Thomas & Eleanor

Thomas, 1759, was son of John Yop & Mary Jones

John, 1726, was son of Samuel Yop & Elizabeth Habberly

Samuel, 1700, son of Thomas Yop & Kesia Tipton

Thomas, 1668, son of Francis & Margery

Francis was born about 1645

I would love to hear from anyone who recognises any names here, or who believes they have a link to Lydbury North Yapps/Yopps

Ohh, Yes, so there is... John & Martha Thomas. I would be very interested in the later family of Elizabeth Yapp's siblings, as my mother remembers visits from Shropshire relatives, who may well be Yapps rather than Pughs, as I think they had a connection to Lydbury, where Elizabeth's family were from. Although fairly distantly related by my Mum's youth, it seems they may have continued to keep in touch.

You have probably found the amazing site which lists the parish records and census returns for Lydbury.... being in the North West, I'd never have traced them so far back without the site... (I forget the address, but it's easily found via websearch).

Interestingly, Elizabeth & John Richard Pugh also had sons named Arthur (1870) & Walter (1877)...Perhaps named after their Yapp cousins. The other Pugh children were Henry John, Rose & Alfred

I look forward to hearing about your branch

Hi Eric,

I have identified them on my tree, and have been able to add a couple of siblings to your list. in 1871 they were in Churchstoke and there was Emma, born before march 1863 and Elizabeth before march 1866. I'm still checking census returns for them, so will let you know if anything further crops up.

I've been filling in a few blanks in the tree this week... I already had the Yapps back to 1645, and have managed to attach almost all Lydbury Yapps to our family. They arrived in Lydbury 1686-1688, and all Lydbury Yapps seem to be descended from this one couple, Thomas Yapp (of Stokesay) & Kesia Tipton (Westbury).

and in 1881 there was also a W. Francis Yapp, son, aged 9, born Church Stoke, Montgomeryshire, Wales.

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!

Sorry but my earliest research is 1745 in Stokesay near Ludlow Shropshire, England for John Yapp and Betty Hill, they never migrated, but lived and died in Shropshire

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.
