London and Middlesex / Re: Yates mostly from London area
« on: Tuesday 07 May 13 14:12 BST (UK) »Hi Scanger,Hi again
I had known her father was John Smith born 1787 in Upminster, Essex. Up until yesterday that was all I had known. Then I found various websites with one stating about the boarding house at 37 Betts Street, but nothing about him being a seaman. If you have information about that, I would be interested, including any other children he may have had. If you have discovered this of course. I have at some time in the past, found reference to a son also named John born in 1821, but not further information there. I've also not been able to find a marriage between him and his wife Rebecca.
I have however found this website: http://www.readhistory.co.uk/family-trees/chapman-smith/direct.htm#I74
Which states his father's name and his two wives and their children and also more about the family of John Smith's mother.
Though not everything I learned yesterday is on there. I also have a website you might be interested in. www.therobinsfamily.tribalpages.com
Thank you for getting in touch.
Kind regards,
Natterjack
I only know that Thomas Yates had 6 children with his previous wife. Ann's previous husband I thought was named Richard (not sure why, will have to dig through my records) also a Hatter & Ann was a hat trimmer. The only children I have for Ann is Rebecca b 1846 & Charles b 1850. Thank you for the other links I will have a look at them. I'm sorry but don't know anything about John's time as a seaman.
