Ohh, Yes, so there is... John & Martha Thomas. I would be very interested in the later family of Elizabeth Yapp's siblings, as my mother remembers visits from Shropshire relatives, who may well be Yapps rather than Pughs, as I think they had a connection to Lydbury, where Elizabeth's family were from. Although fairly distantly related by my Mum's youth, it seems they may have continued to keep in touch.

You have probably found the amazing site which lists the parish records and census returns for Lydbury.... being in the North West, I'd never have traced them so far back without the site... (I forget the address, but it's easily found via websearch).

Interestingly, Elizabeth & John Richard Pugh also had sons named Arthur (1870) & Walter (1877)...Perhaps named after their Yapp cousins. The other Pugh children were Henry John, Rose & Alfred

I look forward to hearing about your branch

Hi Eric,

I have identified them on my tree, and have been able to add a couple of siblings to your list. in 1871 they were in Churchstoke and there was Emma, born before march 1863 and Elizabeth before march 1866. I'm still checking census returns for them, so will let you know if anything further crops up.

I've been filling in a few blanks in the tree this week... I already had the Yapps back to 1645, and have managed to attach almost all Lydbury Yapps to our family. They arrived in Lydbury 1686-1688, and all Lydbury Yapps seem to be descended from this one couple, Thomas Yapp (of Stokesay) & Kesia Tipton (Westbury).

and in 1881 there was also a W. Francis Yapp, son, aged 9, born Church Stoke, Montgomeryshire, Wales.
