Well I went, I saw, I conquered Newton-le-Willows.  Just arrived home.

It is a small hamlet of about 10 houses and a Church you can only get to
by walking down a bridle way, now turned into a Field Centre.

I have been to many Churchyards in Northants, but never one so over grown.

I managed to take some graves, others were impossible and I am covered
in stinging nettle bites all over my legs, no dock leaves in sight. LOL.

Anyway if I find any inscription's that may of help I will list when I have sorted
out the images Bob.

seahall, what a crusade!!! 

How grateful I am for giving up your time. I hope that the weather stayed fine. Thank you so much!

I think you're right that the 1851 census for Martha Tebbutt could have a P.O.B. of Brington. (it looks like Br?ghton) Very astute of you to tie that in with the Martha who married Thomas Tebbett in Wellingborough on 17 Nov 1794.

I'm not familiar with settlement papers but this would be a good point for me to learn about them. I'm away this weekend for the mother-in-law's birthday celebration so will call the records office next week.

Hope that the nettle rash disappears quickly. I'm feeling guilty about it. The village sounds a mysterious place. The 1951 census of Geddington and Newton combined shows about 20 houses so it hasn't expanded much over the years. Wonder what happened.

The only possible marriage in the County on the N.M.I. is as below.

Wellingborough
17-Nov 1794 Thomas TEBBET otp Martha HARRISON otp

Thomas and Martha baptise their 1st child Elizabeth in 1796 in Newton.

Maybe the marriage may give some clues.

Evening seahall. I've greedily read the information that you posted. Thank you.

I looked up Martha in the census and had a thought about her occupation listed as "baker's widow" in the 1851 census. It could refer to baker of bricks no? That would tally with Thomas's occupation as brick maker on Lucy's marriage certificate.

I have looked at the original registers for Desborough and can confirm that all the children
have their age and are as we presumed of the correct age for the dates you are looking for.

Thanks ever so much, seahall. Was that baptism registers? or burial registers? or both?!!!! 

Is it true that the following birth years are correct?...
Samuel Yeomans 1803 – 1881
Ruth Yeomans 1808 – 1881
Hannah ? - ?
Ann Yeomans 1810? – 1835?
Joseph Yeomans 1812 – 1895
Martha Yeomans 1814 – ?
William Yeomans 1818 – 1818
Mary Yeomans 1821 – 1890

Looked at Ann and Lucy Tebbutt's marriage's and it does appear that they are sisters.

Wow, fantastic, that's major discovery... Please may I ask how you deduced that, seahall?

Also looked at the 2 burials for Martha, one is actually for Matilda will list later.

Checked the marriage details of Joseph and Ann marriage will also list later.

I will be home late evening so hopefully some of the questions can be answered
for you Bob.

Sandy

Thanks for all your help, seahall. You're a star!

You've put the date as 1810- do you mean 1910?

Yes, you're right, I made a mistake. It was 1910.

Hi Bob.

I can not see one on the N.B.I.'s.

Sandy

Thanks for looking. I am grateful for your time and trouble.
