Thomas and Isabella Yates, Shopkeeper, Friargate, Preston
« on: Tuesday 07 January 14 05:39 GMT (UK) »
First Child Isabella was born 1818- I cannot find her birth details. Thomas was a shopkeeper.
I also cannot find marriage details of Thomas and Isabella which would include maiden name.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks -Val ;) ;) ;)

I wonder if Isabella  was baptized elsewhere although she married St John's Preston and
daughter Mary Ann Pierce 1848 bapt was at St John's
her sister Grace in 1861 & brothers Edward 1845 & John 1847 married St John's Preston
brothers Thomas 1848 St Mary Manchester, George 1849 St George Chorley, James 1856 St Peter Bolton and William 1866 St Peter Blackburn

Isabell Pierce pob on 1851 census is given as Higher Kellet?  Lancashire
Her widowed mother's pob on 1851/1861 census is Lupton Westmorland & Burton Westmorland 1871

15 Feb 1844
Abraham Pierce 26, Blacksmith, Bat. Spring St f late James Lab.
Isabella Yates 26 (1818) Sp. Friargate f Thomas Shopkeeper
Wit: Isaac Pierce; Elizabeth Mattison

Her siblings were bapt. St John, Preston
father Thomas occ. Shoopkeeper/Grocer mother Isabella  abode Preston, Friargate

7 May 1820 James Yates born 17 Apr
1 Jul 1822 Thomas Yates born 21 May
24 Mar 1824 Edward Yates
11 Jan 1826 John Yates
3 Feb 1828   George Yates born 2 Dec 1827
18 Oct 1829  Septimus Yates
16 Feb 1832  William Yates
5 May 1837 Grace Yates

This is the only marriage I can see before 1818 but doesn't give Thomas' occupation

Did he have a father or brother named George?

11 Dec 1811 St Peter and St Paul, Ormskirk, Lancashire
married by banns, both of this parish
Thomas Yates - (X] Isabel Bolton - (X)

What is it about name Isabella - have found another bapt. for this couple a son John

his baptism is on Lancashire Baptism marriages & Burials 1538 - 1812 but not Isabella's

father Thomas occupation looks to be husbandman
John Yates May bapt. 24th 1812 Bolton Le Sands born 10 Feb
Father Thomas Yates m Isabella, Kellett

so it looks as if she the daughter of this couple

I think you need to be careful here as there was another THOMAS/ISABEL-Isabella Yates Baptisting Children at the same time in Lancs;

MARGARET Yates Baptised 01 Dec 1813, St Peter and St Paul, Ormskirk to THOMAS/ISABEl
Abode Bickerstaff
Fathers occp Labourer
Others;
ANN Yates, same Church, 02 Nov 1817, abode Bickerstaff, Fathers occp Farmer
MARY Yates, 15 Aug 1819, same Church, Fathers occp Labourer
ELLEN Yates, same Church 08 July 1821, Fathers occp Farmer
GEORGE Yates, same Church, 28 Feb 1823, Fathers occp Farmer

Then in Prescot, Lancs they had Baptised;
JOHN, 08 April 1827
THOMAS, 05 April 1829
DOROTHY, 10 July 1831
JANE, 29 Sept 1833
MARIA, 19 April 1836
EDWARD, 29 July 1838
HENRY, 25 Oct 1840
All of these have Farmer except Henry when Dad is back to a Labourer.
All on FreeREG

They are in Bickerstaffe, Ormskirk,  Lancs in 1841 with youngest Children.

1851 Thomas is born c 1788 Halsall and Isabella c 1791 North Meols

Just saying that the 1811 Marriage may be this Couples?

Bit of a problem this one if only Grace was born later so you could get her Birth Cert to confirm Mothers maiden name!

Familysearch has a Thomas YATES/Isabella PARK Marriage 1809 in Westmorland

And a Isabella PARK Baptised 06 Aug 1791 Killington, Westmorland, Father WM, plus BELLA Park Baptised 14 June 1788, Kirkby-Lonsdale, Westmoreland to JOSEPH/HANNAH

This one has me stumped.

I agree Trish about being careful and it possibly being the couple you mention especially due to the place of baptism for some their children.

and yes what a shame that the youngest daughter Grace bapt. 5 May 1837 wasn't born after Sep 1837 her b/c would have solved the maiden name!!!!

Thanks everybody for your replies, Reply one is correct with the siblings, Isabelle's marriage e.t.c.
John Yates 1826 was my Great Grandad.
 It is just Isabella's birth about 1818 and the marriage of Thomas and Isabella that I am having trouble finding. I will 'soldier on"".

Thanks again - Val :) :) :) :)
