Hi Jean, Slowhands & others

I followed this thread with great interest, much of the information I had already received from Jean. I hadn't though realised before slowhands uncovered it that the Richard Yemm concerned was the son of Robert Yemm & Elizabeth Powell - married Huntley 7.4.1834.

Having made this connection, I can add to this interesting thread :

Richard Yemm had a brother Moses as you can see from the census data Slowhands provided. Moses married Elizabeth Anthony 12.11.1865 Newnham, having 4 children including Emily Edith Yemm 24.6.1871 Ruardean, they emigrated to US in 1881. Edith Emily Yemm became the third wife of Thomas Trump marrying 9.8.1894 Brazil, Clay IN, USA. The first wife of Thomas Trump was Dora Read, daughter of William Read & Selina Marfell, Dora had a sister Rachel who married Amos Gibbs. In the 1900 US Census Thomas Trump was shown to have emigrated to US in 1880, but he couldn't have done as he was in jail in England for shooting the above mentioned Amos Gibbs. Now refer to the "Stories" section under the "Download" heading and see an item I submitted - "Shooting at Ruardean"
