I have recently joined Rootschat.

I have Scottish Yates (Yeates, Yetts) in my family. My 2nd great grandmother, Mary Ann Yetts (1833-1882) (the family used all variations of the name) was born in Port Glasgow. Her father , James Yates, was a gardener and her brother, John, who moved to the Broughton area of Greater Manchester was also a gardener. John was a landscape gardener at Kersal Dale, Broughton and his widow and sons ran a Garden Nursery. I have more information on my tree which I am willing to share.
