Compact Family Tree This alternative tree view is packed with eight generations — up to ancestors — along with birth and death dates and locations. The downside is that it's not a conventional tree format; it may take a couple minutes to orient yourself. Descendants Since Jared has no children the descendants page isn't available. Do you know of children? Please let the profile managers know. Our two DNA views are designed to help you use genetic testing to confirm and expand Jared's genealogy.

Especially helpful for some serious genetic genealogists is the inheritance pattern for Jared's X chromosome, also shown here. It may still be possible to test connections to Jared by testing other descendants of her ancestors who inherited the same X chromosome or mitochondrial DNA. This is still fairly complex but it's getting simpler every day.

It's handy when someone had children from more than one marriage. It may not be useful here unless you add a spouse.

The young Yates family lived in Staffordshire for just a couple of years. In that time their youngest son George was born but died two years later.

Just suppose for one moment that I am right and that this single dressmaker of 64 years and probably the last surviving member of her own immediate family was the mother of Edward Cavendish Yates Snr. But where did he go? Who brought Edward up? Where did he reappear from in ? Did she ever see her son or her grandchildren? Did Edward know his mother was alive and living in Chelsea? He spent his working life teaching music and living like a gentleman, but when he died I think there was little or no money to support his unmarried daughters. Where had his education and money come from? The most surprising part of the story, when I eventually found the document, was that when Fanny died the following year in she left no will.

If so she had obviously worked hard and been very successful dressmakers of the time were among the poorest women as a rule. Or had she been set up in business by a secret benefactor? More detail about them from me will probably have to wait for a much later part of this blog — if I ever get that far!

Who was the woman who married Edward Cavendish Yates and bore him so many children that together they rejuvenated the Yates family in one generation? Who was she before she married Edward and what happened to her after he died? Either way, this death was the only evidence I found that at least one of her relatives, her mother or her sister, must still have been alive when Fanny moved to a slightly new address.

Some time after her sister died in , but before , Fanny moved just two doors down the road to lodge with the Tilling family. It seems likely that she was invited to become a lodger at her neighbours home not least because their family circumstances had changed too. Click the image to enlarge.

William was a milkman and he and Ann spent their first years of married life in paradise…. Paradise Row, Chelsea that is! Paradise Row, Royal Hospital Road, built in the s and photographed shortly before demolition in Their first child Ann was born in followed a year later by a son, William. In a third child Joseph Earl Tilling was born and in the same year William senior became a greengrocer. In the family moved a very short distance to Calthorpe Place, Chelsea.

Some time between this move and the next, fairly major changes seem to have occurred. By the family had moved, once again only a short distance, but this time to a newly built street. Ann had several brothers and sisters, but the one of particular interest to us, along with Ann herself, was Jane Read. Jane married and had a large family with John Derrick, a shipwright on the Isle of Wight. We will meet Jane Derrick later in this story when her children are grown up and she is a widow.

So, in when Fanny was still living with her sister, William and Ann Tilling were living up the road at number 29 Manor Street. In they were still at number 30 Manor Street, so in the three years between, they either moved house or the street numbering system changed. Their unmarried daughter Sarah Tilling was still living with them but all their other children had left home.

By when Fanny became a lodger at number 29 Manor Street, circumstances for the Tilling family were as different from for the Tillings as they were for her. Fanny Yates the lodger.

The census in started using odd and even listings for houses in Manor Street when previous censuses had shown consecutive house numbering. Living with them was Sarah and her new husband and ex-lodger Frederick Christie and presumably their 2 year old child, Sarah Ann Louisa Christie. In she was in Chelsea and not listed as a visitor. Both widowed sisters were now in their seventies and perhaps enjoyed each others company? Click the link to go to source at ancestry http: Yates who was her son, my great grandfather.

This blog has so far focused on providing evidence — certificates, records etc. The parish church in St Marylebone at that time was very small for the number of inhabitants using it.

This book is available online — click on the image to read it. This extract describes the conditions in the church some years after Sophia was baptised but only two years before she was married there. Click the image to see the full map at mapco. So about 19 years passed and George and Sophia married in this church in St Marylebone. Their first son Charles W. Sadly, around the time that Sophia became pregnant with her second child, Charles died aged just two years old.

The arrival of the couples first daughter, Frances Sophia, in was to bring George and Sophia short-lived consolation — she too died while still an infant. Maybe George and his wife thought their children had not survived because their father was not baptised? Whatever the reason, George returned to the parish where he was born, St Marylebone.

James Church Piccadilly At last, in a new chapter began for the Yates family. A third child was born to Sophia and George, she was named after her father and her grandmother — Georgianna Phebe, and like her older siblings was baptised a month after her birth in the parish of St James Piccadilly. Although the couple still had to deal with the death of Frances Sophia in , Georgianna Phebe was thankfully survived the first few years of life and grew to adulthood. George and Sophia wasted no time.

They now lived in Princes Street, Drury Lane. At some stage prior to , Princes Street and at least part of Drury Lane were one and the same. The new baby was given the names of her late brother and sister — Charlotte Frances Yates. At the baptism her father not only gave his middle name Skinner again, but also altered the name of his occupation from Shoemaker to Cordwainer. Click on the image to go to the source at en.

In , while they were still living in Princes Street, Drury Lane — at no. St Giles in the Fields en. Strangely, although George passed on his own middle name Skinner to his only living son, from this baptism to his own death, records go back to referring to him as just George Yates. St Martin in the Fields, London en.

At this point in their lives, George and Sophia had five living children but by when Sophia gave birth a gain, Frances Mary Ann had died. The new baby girl was named after her two late sisters who had both been given the first name of Frances. In George and Sophia had their last child. Seven members of the Yates family were now living together in a property with several other families.

When their eldest daughter, Georgianna Phebe, married Thomas Hopkins Smith in aged 19 and moved out it must have provided welcome space. More changes came in living arrangements by Emily Rose, one of the younger sisters had moved in with the Phebe and Thomas Smith at 22 Salisbury Street Georgianna dropped her first name once she was married.

Salisbury Street was a road running south towards the river Thames from The Strand. Both sisters worked as dressmakers at this time. Meanwhile back in Princes Street, Drury Lane the same year, George and Sophia were now living with just three of their five children. Living arrangements were probably easier or at least less expensive. George, now 50, was still working as a shoemaker or cordwainer.

Their eldest daughter at home, Charlotte, was 24 and a dressmaker. Charles their 20 year old only son was now a porter perhaps at Covent Garden market? The two youngest daughters, Frances and Sophia, were aged 13 and 10 and were apparently neither working nor at school. Four years on and something may have happened to Frances Harriet, or Fanny as she called herself for the next few years, that would change her life and perhaps her relationship with some of her immediate family.

Nor can I find any records of the child, Edward Cavendish Yates, between the time of his birth and his marriage to Priscilla Jane Mecham in aged Is he taken abroad? After his death and prior to the family rearranged themselves again. Emily, Frances and Sophia appear to all have left home, leaving Charlotte and Charles living with their mother at Drury Lane.

Either way, the location of the building they lived in was probably on the corner of what is now Kemble Street off Drury Lane. Her husband had died and she was living with her two adult children Charlotte and Charles at Drury Lane.

Their were no children living with them. Thomas Smith had become a conductor, presumably of the transport kind, Phebe had changed the spelling of her name to Phoebe and Frances was now calling herself Fanny! But then I can find no records of him living anywhere as a child!
