Yates Derbyshire

[Annmoo]

Hi Peeps,

I'm trying to find my gg grandfather Henry Rodwell Yates.  He appears in the 1891 census in Leicestershire and is listed as being born in Church Gresley, Derbyshire (new to me as I thought we were always originated here in sunny Leicester).

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated as I'm trying to create a family tree for my mother who has never known much about her roots and has just turned 70 years old!  Good xmas present if I can manage it.

There must be some family connection to Derbyshire
John Rodwell Yates is born there and his sister Mary Rodwell Fox's death is reg there also.

Mary Rodwell FOX
December 1899
Chesterfield 7b 438
Age 50

I looked for a death as I couldnt find her in 1901 Census.

Trish you really are remarkable! I just can't believe it, so much in such a short time and I've been trying to find even a snippett for about 200 years (or so it seems).  Thank you again
