I have just ordered a couple of death certificates. I'm excited waiting for them to arrive. Sad or what ! Its just that its been snowing all day so I've been in most of the day doing my family history stuff.
Hamlet Yates (my great great grandfather) was married twice. His first wife Sarah died aged 35 so I've ordered that one to find out how she died. He then went on to marry again in his fifties to my great great grandmother Mary. He had loads of children, including my great grandfather Ernest Yates. One of his daughters by his first wife Sarah died aged 25 so I've ordered that one as well.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteJust googled "Hamlet Yates" and found your blog. He too is my ancestor via his second wife Mary. Their eldest child, Thomas Hamlet Yates married Elizabeth Jeffery. Their eldest child Minnie Yates was my gt grandmother. Most of my tree is on Genesreunited site, and I have exhausted census sheets for as many Yates as I can find. Are you on Genesreunited? I can email you my tree as a Gedcom file if that's any good to you?
Hamlet certainly did well with leaving loads of heirs!
All the best,
