YEOMANS, Alfred c1856, Ednaston

[magicspice]

Please could someone perform a baptism look up for me.

The person is Alfred Yeomans, son of Samuel and Sarah, born c1856 in Ednaston, Derbyshire. Despite multiple GRO purchases I am unable to locate a birth certificate for this individual so I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help me out by going down the parish register route.

Many thanks

Hi Heather
I can't do the look-up for you but thought I'd let you know that, although civil registration started in 1837, it wasn't compulsory for parents to register births until 1875. Until then the onus was on the registrars to go around their district and make sure they had all the registrations.

So there may not be a registration to find.

Good luck with your baptism search.

Hi,

Cannot find either, but think there is something odd i.e.

Their daughter Catherine born abt 1842, marries as:-
Yeomans Catherine Warne Ashbourne 7b 713   June Q 1862

Looking for her birth there are 2 possibles:-

Dec Q 1842 Ashbourne
Catherine Warnor
Cathering Yeomans

So when did Samuel Yeomans marry Sarah? and where?  Is this his 2nd wife - looking at ages
of children on 1861 Census.

Ok.............first Ednaston is in the Parish of BRAILSFORD....in the Civil Registration District of Ashbourne........Both the 1851 and the 1861 Census clearly place the whole family at Brailsford and then Ednaston...........there are several children before ALFRED..............and interestingly..Sarah born 1819, and Samuel born 1815..may have been married before 1837..........their first child was born in 1840.
The reason i say before 1837 is that the only marriage for a Samuel Yeomans at Ashbourne is 1838..to a totally different woman.............

But the 1861 clearly has all the children..and the family, including Sarah ,are just as clearly very Local........but for the life of me I can't find the marriage in the Brailsford Pr's........

Spendlove's contribution is interesting (as always!)..but may mean nothing more than a clue to Sarah's Maiden name???

One of the children of Samuel and Sarah......WILLIAM. was baptised Brailsford 30.10.1842..mother's maiden name ....WARNER!!!!.yippee!!!

Hi

Very true Derek, I have added additional information re the marriage & first Child.

Always think it best to look sideways when you cannot find the obvious.

Will keep looking.

Wonder if this is the marriage??

FreeBMD
Sept qtr 1844 Derby 19 414
Samuel Yeomans (only name on page)

Sept qtr 1844 Derby 19 444
4 Females 3 males on same page
one of females is transcribed as Sarah Worner

they may have married (if this is the marriage reg) out of their registration district if they had children pre marriage

??
