Hi Kate

I will be happy to help you. Firstly however - in my version of events - the Timothy Yemm born 27 May 1847 who married Mary Parsons also born 1847 baptised 20 Jun 1847 on 7 April 1871 was the son of Amos Baldwin Yemm 1819/1891 and Rebecca Marfell 1816. I have Timothy's death certificate and it states parents as Amos Yemm & Rebecca Murphy, the latter a not uncommon mistake not knowing the mothers maiden name.

Timothy & Frederick Yemm and cousin Albert Marfell are shown below.

Timothy died 26 May 1930 Cuba IL. Mary died 23 Sep 1906 Cuba IL.

1880 Census 11.6.1880 Cuba, Fulton County, Illinois, USA
Yemm Timothy 31 Coal Miner
Yemm Mary 31 wife
Yemm Mirrium 11 dtr
Yemm Susanna 8 dtr
Yemm Frederick 22 Cousin Coal Miner
Marfell Albert 31 Cousin Coal Miner
Stevens John 33 Boarder Coal Miner

Rebecca Marfell was my 1st cousin 4 times removed, so we are certainly related. If you email me by clicking on the envelope icon we can share information, I will be happy to email the death certificate for instance.

I have posted the gravestone for William Yemm & Lydia nee Marfell which includes Frederick Yemm on this website as I found it unusual for a person dying in America to be included on an English gravestone :
