Hi Graham

I don't check the F o D web site as often as I used to.

I have a copy of William Henry Yemm's Death Certificate if you would like a copy.

I am still on the same email address as used when we communicated years ago.

Let me know if you would like a copy.

William Henry Yemm is not related to me, but I used to generally go too far with my research. His wife Emily Partridge next married Richard James Matthew Turner born 1888 in 1941. I have that certificate as well, also his death certificate, but I did not have her death so have learned something. The real connection of course involves the Marfell's as the mother of Richard James Matthew Turner was Elizabeth Marfell 1849/1918. Richard James Matthew Turner was living with the Yemm family in 1920.

Richard Turner sailed from Liverpool UK on board the SS Oceanic arriving in New York on 21 Feb 1907. His final destination is shown as being Brazil, Indiana USA. His fare was paid for by his brother Samuel. The ships manifest shows that he was to stay with his brother Samuel. Richard was described as being 5'7" tall, with fair hair & blue eyes.
