Hi,
I'm looking for the birth of George YEATMAN/YATEMAN. c.1828.
I have his marriage certificate, 1873, Australia, his age is 45, place of birth, Somerset, parents Thomas Yateman & Betsy JONES.
He arrived in Australia in 1855, age 26 on passenger list, "Lord Burleigh".
I have searched IGI and many other online sites but can find nothing.
It appears there are actually very few YEATMAN/YATEMAN families in Somerset, most are in Dorset.
Can anyone help please?
Leonie.

Adelaid Yeatman, 10, Y
Elen Hucker(?), 13, Y
Living in Uphill, Somerset

Thanks heaps Sue,
The online census doesn't show any Yeatman's so this is a great help.
It just goes to show, I really must get back to doing some transcribing work for FREEBMD, and I'll keep on looking for a birth for George.
Cheers,
Leonie.

Wow!
This ties a knot and begs a question.
My George was a shoemaker! But then what happenned to Emma? Did she die or did George scarper? Only George migrated to Australia in 1855.
I found a death for Thomas Yeatman, Sept quarter,1837. That wold include 26th July, Alli. Doesn't give age but could very well be George's father.
Thanks again Sue and Alli. I think this is pretty conclusive.
Cheers,
Leonie.

Hi Leonie,
I believe Emma is the sister of George, the relationships as listed are to the Head of the household. :)

I think you`re right alli, I`ve taken another look at the 1851 and on closer inspection it looks like a badly written `t` :o

oohhhhhhhhhhh this is getting curiouser and curiouser
emma eliza yeatman married thomas baseley daventry sept 1852 wonder if they were brothers ??? ;)
cant seem to find any of these couples in 1861 maybe you could look at the passenger list that george shipped on just a thought but maybe they also emigrated??

alli

YES!
Now it's morning and my eyes are seeing clearer.
I also found the marriage of Betsy Yeatman and James Watson (I have Walton's in my father's tree and have seen Walton transcribed as Watson)
Henry Monk was a witness at the marriage of George Yeatman & Emma Eliza Cooper in 1873.
I'm going to the Library today so will check passenger list for the 'Lord Burleigh'.
I've been stuck on George Yeatman soooo long, finally getting something about him is so rewarding, I thank you all so much.
Cheers,
Leonie.

We`re glad to be of help Leonie :) :)

Adelaide and Henry Monk were on Lord Burleigh with George Yeatman.
I now have the whole family of Monks from NSW BMD's. Also Emma and Thomas Baseley's family from NSW BMD's, but can't find Emma and Thomas on any ships. They had a child born here in 1855 but also a child died in 1865, Sarah, who wasn't born in Australia. I can't find a birth for her in England.
Well you can't have everything, I've been typing new names into my Legacy program for three hours! I'll find them eventually.
Cheers,
Leonie.
-
maybe sarah was born on ship?

alli

there is a sarah beasley born daventry district march 1856

alli

Leonie, do you have any idea how old Sarah was when she died? If she was born in the UK it might give us a rough idea of which year to check as there seems to be a couple of possibilities for her birth :)

Emma Eliza Yeatman married Thomas Baseley, 1852, Sept quarter, In Daventry.
Constantine Baseley was born 1855, New South Wales, but doesn't say what town. The next two children were born in Goulburn, NSW.
Sarah Baseley died, 1865 in Goulburn, father Thomas, mother Emma Eliza. So she must have been born after 1852 but before 1855. I have seen a website for births at sea, I'll just have to find that and have a look.
Also, I've come across spelling; Basley/ Basely/ Bazeley & Beasley???
Cheers & thanks,
Leonie.
-
James, 32, Emma, 21 & Emma, 2, were on the 'Lord Burleigh' also, family name spelled BAZELEY.
Leonie.

Oops! we crossed.
Thanks Ali.

Hi, I am interested the life of George Yeatman He was my great grandfather. He married Eliza - Emma Cooper in Australia in 1873. He died in 1910 and is buried in Rookwood Cemetery, Australia. I am hoping to visit the tombstones of him and Emma soon. His Daughter Florence was my grandmother. I have been told he was born in Coventry Warwickshire England 1833? Any further information would be appreciated. Marilyn

Hi Marylyn,
I guess we're cousins then, :D May was my Grandmother.
Besides what there is on this thread, I also have another website at;
http://alongtheline.yuku.com/directory
It has more details.
I have a copy of the original "Lord Burleigh" passenger list form the University of NSW. Plus several certificates.
I can send you an email with a copy of George and Emma's marriage certificate, Duck River, 1873.
DON'T put your email address on here! I will send you a private message later.
Nice to meet a new cousin :D
Leonie.

Hi Leonie went to cemetery today took some photos of tombstone. Very dishevelled I will go back one day to clean it up.
One problem arose it says that he was 86 when he died so if he died in1910 he would have to have been born in 1824.
-
Hi Marilyn, glad you found the grave. :D I can imagine the state it would be in. I have vague recollections that my Nana, May ENNIS was burried close by.
That age is interesting, but not unexpected.
I just looked and I don't have his death certificate.
He was baptised; 30 September, 1827. This is from the Uphill parish records, (Which for some reason are no longer online.) it didn't have his age at the time, merely said "infant". I think if he was three years old it would have said so.
The censuses for 1841 & 1851 have his age as 14 & 24 respectively. This = 1827 for birth.
His age on the passenger list of "Lord Burleigh" in 1855, is given as 26, ( = 1829 for birth) and his age on his marriage certificate, 29 May 1873, is given as 45. ( = 1828 for birth)
So it's debatable when he was actually born.
I'll have to send for his death certificate. It was probably on my list to get next anyway. :D
I'd be interested to see who was the informant.
I generally stick with marriage certificates for the most accurate information, on the assumption that at marriage age, we generally know our own age, who our parents were and where we were born.
I don't yet have any certificates from England so I have no idea what's on them. With George of course, being before civic registration, there will only be the parish records and some have very scanty information.
Anyway....I'll send you a PM, (private message) but you may have to make a few posts here before you can reply. RC has some rules to protect members from unwanted spam.

I've just seen this post and am interested because George Yeatman, whose photo I have, was brother of Emma Eliza Baseley (nee Yeatman). George was my Great, Great, Great Uncle. Emma Eliza was my Great, Great Grandma. Her daughter Frances Henrietta married Frederick Nichols. This line continues down to my mother and myself.

Obviously arriving way too late on this thread, but for the record George Yeatman is my Great-Grandfather so hello to my newfound cousins.

Hello Geordie, I'm a bit behind, myself. ::)
I've had no Internet for a few months, I'll get back into the swing of things soon. (I hope.)

Great to hear from you LonelyBones, I will be interested to hear about anything to do with the Yeatman's. Thanks so much for replying.
