Where is Yardley?
« on: Sunday 05 November 06 00:21 GMT (UK) »
Hi

On Friday I was at HALS looking for my Freeman ancestors in Meesden. It was getting late & I was running out of time and was allowed to photocopy some pages that had been extracted from the Parish Marriage Registers.

On it is the marriage of Jn. Freeman (Yardley) to My. Cooper on 1 November 1828.

Can anyone tell me where Yardley is? I'm guessing it's close by to Meesden and still in Hertfordshire.

Many thanks

Lyndsey

Hi Suz

Thank you for your prompt reply. I was getting 'Page cannot be displayed' so I've just googled 'Ardeley' and found a good site.

Thanks very much for your help

Hi

There is a Yardley in Worcestershire, it is sandwiched between Solihull and Birmingham.

Thanks Lemon

I've just been told it's also known as Ardeley, which is indeed in Hertfordshire.

Thanks for replying
