Burnford Yeeld, Bromsgrove
« on: Monday 15 September 25 23:32 BST (UK) »
Hello,
Could someone please advise me where Burnford Yeeld was located in the parish of Bromsgrove?   My John Gibbs and Mary Clarke were both said to be of Burnford Yeeld (or something that looks like that) on their marriage license bonds of 1710.
Thankyou,
Carolyn

This site refers to Burnford being a lost place in Bromsgrove which was recorded as Burnefield in 1242 and Burnford in 1427   http://www.rootschat.com/links/01u0c/

In the Nokes Guide to Worcestershire 1868 - Yields were referred to as divisions of a parish  http://www.rootschat.com/links/01u0f/

Thanks to you both for your helpful replies.  I've just spent a fascinating evening exploring Google Books.  It hadn't occurred to me to try that.  I was very pleased to see a drawing of the gravestone of Jeremiah Clark, as he is a member of my Clarke family.  I'd never heard of yields as being divisions within a parish.  Very interesting.  I was thinking Burnford was a hamlet, so that has been clarified.
Thanks again for responding.
Carolyn

This 1772 map shows some of the ten yields listed in the previous link https://maps.nls.uk/view/262718537#zoom=5.8&lat=2949&lon=1737&layers=BT

Wow!  How fantastic those four 1772 map sections are.  So useful for all my Worcestershire research.  It was great to see Woodhall marked (Norton juxta Kempsey)  as my Samuel Roper states in his 1781 will that he lived in the Woodhall farmhouse.  It's so useful to see the roads linking places at that time.  I knew where Woodhall was from much later OS maps at the Scottish National Library, but to see it in 1772 was very exciting.
Thank-you so much
Carolyn
