Hi Gypsy123

    The Yelding in Australia is my mum's oldest brother, she has not seen him for nearly 30 years she also doesnot have a address for him due to his travlling when he first went to Ausralia, if you could help with a Address for him I will give you my email address so you could past it on to him so he can contact me .


                                             Thank you Appletree   

Hi 
   
I have looked at his marrage cert it looks like his fathers name was Mark Yelding rank or profession of father is listed as a hawker.
I do not think that they were circus gypsies but I can't be sure.
My gt grandfathers name was John Yelding born about 1864 died in 1928 aged 68 at swanley junction.

Hello Keith
 
I have a Elias Cumbers in my tree born about 1885 he married Emily Yelding (my grandad's sister) they married in 1915  and had three children Alvey cumbers born 1910
                                                                                  Elias cumbers born 1912
                                                                                  John cumbers born 1915
They were all born in the romford area.
Emily Cumbers died in 1918 aged 32 she died in a caravan "we anchor in hope" willing.
On Elias and Emily's marriage cert it states that Elias father was Alfred Cumbers.
Hope this information will help you.

Hi Spursbird,


I am related to the Yelding family but don't know if it is the same one, My grandfather was Mark Yelding born in 1910 and his parents were John Yelding sometimes known as Jack and Priscilla Lee, They married in 1900 but last name was spelt wrong Yielding on marriage cert.
I would love to find out more about that side of my family as Me and my Mum have started to trace the family tree, My Mum always thought that the Yelding's were gypsies but when trying to trace them people do not know the Yelding name as travellers, so it would make more sence if they were showmen.
