I am researching the Yewdall family who lived in Lancashire (around Halton, Skerton & Lancaster ) in the C19th. I have managed to trace back to:
Simeon Yewdall, a gardener, (b.1786) & Margaret Hodgson (b1788) - they possibly both came from Bradford or Blackburn (believed to be outside Lancashire), who married on 15 April 1816 at St. Mary, Lancaster (Parish records St. Mary 1813-1819 , Lancaster Film no: 1526200).
Known children were:
Thomas (b. 1816), James (b.1818) , Henry (b.1819), David (b.1821), Mary (b.1822), Elizabeth (b.1825, Buried 1825), Margaret (b. 1827, Buried 1828), Simeon (b. 1830.Buried 1832). The children were baptised in Poulton-Le-Sands (near Morecambe) or Halton, Lancs. (shown as Dalton in some records) - have found these in parish records online.
Any information regarding birth place of Simeon or Margaret, their ancestors/siblings would be appreciated. (Also trying to find if any connection to Yewdalls of Calverley/Idle/Bradford, Yorkshire.)
Also interested in any local history information relating to business of James Yewdall who was a furniture dealer in Church Street, Lancaster. Business is reported as going in to liquidation in Liverpool Mercury 31 January 1880, following his death.
