Wills- Youde family

[jean.ellison]

Hi Alan,

I am a gt. grand son of Joshua Youd of Hope (1876). I think I'm the only one of his brach of the family to have sons that carry the name, and we would dearly love to trace them back as far as possible but have no clue how to prior 1837.

I've not heard of the John Youd mentioned in the previous post. However, I do know my grand father F.S. Youd was born at Fron Farm in Hope Mountain, as was his father Joshua. However, Joshua's father, John (1830) was born to William Youd (1794) and Susannah Youd (ne. Jenkins) who was from Doddleston, Kinnerton.
Would anyone be able to confirm if the William Youd (1794) was born to Thomas and Anne??
Many thanks in anticipation,
p.s. the 1861 census entry of the Youds of Hope was spelt Youde, but not in previous or subsequent years. The Fron Farm was also mispelt as 'Vron'  also.

Hi William, as far as I know your Youd's are connected to mine, I have the parish records for Doddleston and have quite a bit of info, including some pictures of the graves of some of your Youd's from Hope parish church, I wanted to send you a personal message, but apparently I can't do this until you have made at least three messages, so I will try and tell you what I can through here, please bear with me, I have just returned from holiday and it will take me a bit to sort through my notes,
best wishes,
Jean

Hi Alan, I think all the Youd's in Kinnerton were connected in some way or another, I have got back to two Thomas Youds born around the same time at Hawarden, one married a Mary Sharp, and the other an Anne Anker, or sometimes spelt Anchor, I strongly suspect mine is the Mary Sharp family as their son John Youd bap in 1762, was the father of my great great grandfather, Samuel Youd, the one you found in the census. I think this same John was also the father to William Youd, by a first wife, this is William's family, as they end up at Vron Farm, which is where he mentioned. I will have a look  through my notes and see if i can find your Ellen and which family she belongs to, best wishes for now, Jean

Dear Jean. Thanks for your help with Ellen, I haven't got anywhere up to now.

Odd bits I have about Youds are;- From the IGI there were 2 Ellens born in 1772 and 1778 in West Kirby who could fit. Their fathers are Henry and William. West Kirby seems a long way from Dodleston but in the buriels in 1857 and 1865 there are 2 Parrys from Birkenhead so there seems to have been a connection with the Wirral.

I went through the Hope baptism indexes from 1668 to 1770 but found no Youds there. In Buriels 7/5/1788 is Anne Youd age 61 abode Frwmryd.

The entry that I got mixed up with in my note to William is in the marriages; Full text

28/12/1791 John Youd age 26 bachelor son of Thomas and Anne of Doddleston married Mary Chambers age 18 spinster daughter of Charles and Mary of Shordley. Witnesses Samuel Lawrence and Mary Philips.

In Hope baptisms 1781 to 1812 are 12 entries of Youds which you probably have already but please say if you need them and I will gladly send them. One I noticed was 17/9/1812 Ralph Nickson born to William and Anne (Widow) of Hope Owen.

In a book I saw in Harwarden RO 'Dodleston- history of a Marcher Parish' page 89 mentions Thomas Youd bricklayer.

Bye for now Alan.

Dear William. I have now checked that entry which I got mixed up. Please have a look at the message I have sent to Jean Ellison where I have put the correct version. Cheers Alan

I wondered if you had checked this name index which is useful for the more unusual names in Denbighshire and Flintshire.

Hi Minerite and welcome

You may get more response to posts if you start a new thread for each query and there is also a "look ups" section for each county.

I would direct you to the correct bit if only I knew where Gt Boughton was

I am sure you will soon find your way around and if not, someone else will be along to assist you further
