Yates
Help please! I am trying to find any information at all about my Great Grandmother
Mary Ann (Polly) Littlewood. She lived in the Almshouses at Dewsbury. She had
2 children, my Grandmother, born about 1910 ish, who I think was christened
Fanny, but changed her name to Geraldine. I know Geraldine had a brother, but
don't even know his name. Geraldine married Ernest Mail, who I believe came
from Huddersfield, he was certainly a proud Yorkshireman. They had a son Gerald,
my father, born c.1927. He went to Almondbury Grammar School (now King James'
School), and trained as a pharmacist, moving to London. I remember a Great
Uncle Gilbert Yates being mentioned when I was a child, who was said to be
a Don at Cambridge. I have tried really hard to find information in the birth,
marriage and death internet records and a genealogy site, about all of them
but have drawn complete blanks. I have no documents or accurate dates for any
of them and know so little about them. I would be very grateful indeed for
any information at all.

Yeates
My great-great-grandparents were named Yeates and lived at Pateley Bridge around
the early 1800s. One of their daughters married a man named Bayles, who
had four daughters, Harriet, Ann, Elizabeth and Mary. Elizabeth married
a Mr Gill and lived at Blayefield. Ann married Mr Pratt and lived at Glasshouses.
Mary married Mr Dawson and lived at Haworth. Harriet, my grandmother, married
William Metcalfe around about 1880-1. I would be grateful for any information
on the Yeates and Bayles families.

Yeoman
I have traced my family back into the Pateley Bridge area and come to a halt
with a Henry Yeoman born circa 1798 / 1800 who lived in Nidderdale but
was born (1851 census) in Carlton Highdale. I have information on some
Yeoman families in Horsehouse but cannot find a link to Henry. Anyone
any ideas please?
