Hi Jim,

Thank you for the reply. My interest is in the same branch of the YEMM family.

Robert Yemm and Elizabeth Powell had a son, also named Robert, and he is listed in the 1871 Census at the next household to his parents, with wife Lucy and daughter Florence. I think it is possible that Robert Jr. moved to the USA around the time of the next census. The family doesn't appear on the UK 1881 Census nor on the 1880 US Census. Florence was married to Grant CASSIDY in Lucas IA March 24, 1888. The 1906 Saskatchewan Census indicates Florence and her family emigrated to Canada in 1905. Florence had 2 brothers, George and Thomas. They spelled the surname YEAM, at least in the later years.

It would be interesting to hear from the other Canadian researcher. Also, now that I know your line is the same as mine, I can search the forum and fill in some blanks in my database. Many thanks!

Maureen
