Hi,
I was going to start by saying that I'm not related to this particular Yell family as far as I know but I am as it turns out connected indirectly and distantly as the daughter of Elizabeth and David Yell (1809–1888), Mary Ann Yell (1836–1916) married into my family.
I'm originally from this same area of Norfolk and am descended from the Yell family, my great-great-grandfather was Mary "Polly" Yell (1859–1934) from Terrington St John, Norfolk and seeing as "Yell" is quite an uncommon name for this area of the Norfolk fenland villages I'm guessing that there must be a family relationship between my Yells the David Yell's family - I just can't find a link to tie them all together?
