Need to be a bit careful about Jonathon Yemm. First Jonathon Yemm baptised 6 Apr 1803, on BT but not PR. Then :

Then following another baptism 4 Feb 1821 :

The George you have shown was actually living next to Benedicta and brother William and family in 1851 :

George 17 Collier Lydbrook
Kezia 16 Lydbrook
William 10 Collier Ruardean
Thomas 9 Boarts
John 5 Boarts
Sarah 1 Boarts
Hannah 11m Boarts

Benedicta also had an illegitimate child :

Year: 1801
Month: Nov
Day: 15
Parents_Surname: BENNETT
Child_Forenames: Kezia
Fathers_Forenames: not stated
Mothers_Forenames: Benedict
Mothers_Surname:
Residence:

Event: Baptism
Memoranda: base daughter

Page_Number: 40
Parish_Chapel: Ruardean

Interesting that her son William named a child Kezia, as shown on the 1851 Census.

This nicely highlights that I sometimes get carried away following siblings and parents of spouses. My only involvement here is that Benedicta's brother William 1775 married Lydia Gagg 1776, my 1st cousin 6 times removed.
