James Yaxley b 9/1853 Syderstone

[viking57]

Looking for information on James Yaxley (b abt 9/1853 Syderstone).
He emmigrated to Tasmania, Australia and married Mary Ling (b abt 1853 East Harling area to Joseph Ling & Eliza Thurlow) on 9/6/1873.

Looked at births for James Yaxley 1852-54 , several possible candidates:

Jan/feb/MAr 1853 James, tunstead area ref 4b 49. Interestingly appears to have twin, Joseph, ref 4b 48

Oct/Nov/Dec 1853 James, Docking area ref 4b 259
This one would fit in with your info he was born in Sept, could be registered in Oct

2 in 1854, a James Henry in Tunstead in A/M/J and a James William in Swaffham in O/N/D

There are lots of Yaxleys all registered in that 4b area, so it must be a very local name - no doubt they are all related in some way

Getting there marraige cert would give you their fathers names.
Birth cert would give parents

Thanks for looking up the details,
I obviously don't have enough info as yet to make certain which one it would be.
I have only just started again after a lengthy break of nearly 10 years so will have to make sure I ask the right questions and get more details on others first.

Thanks again

Hi

Do you know when they emigrated? Did they emigrate with their families or were they on their own?

I could then look for them while they were still in Norfolk.

Best wishes.

Thanks for the offer,
Not 100% sure when they emmigrated but the majority of emmigrants from that area of Norfolk came to Tasmania in March 1855 or August 1857. Would expect about then.
Sorry but I have no other details about James family.

Hi

Well that explains why they are not on the 1861 census then!!!

I will see what I can do.

If you want to see pictures of the Rudham/Syderstone area, have a look at my website in Norfolk Links at the top of the page.

Best of luck.

Hello i believe that James Yaxley is part of my Family that originated from either little walsingham or great walsingham and moved around the county and country, I have a letter from a gentleman in Tasmania looking for Thomas Yaxley, I am sure the same family,I will check my Tree and see if James is there........

The info I have is as follows
Thomas Yaxley (b 1791) m Elizabeth Baxter
Only have one child, which is Thomas Yaxley (b 1834 Syderstine) m Maria Ayton b abt 1822)
James Yaxley (b 1853 Syderstone) was the eldest child m Mary Ling (b 1852 Eccles) married 1873 in Tasmania.
Children
James, Eliza, Maria, Francis (my ggmother), Mary, Esther, Alice, John, Wesley, Alfred, Linda, Harold, Lawrence, Percy
Hope this fits in somewhere
