Hi All

I believe there is a typo in the Parish Record transcription re John/Stephen Yearsley. The work of another researcher in connection with Yearsley Family History I mentioned previously I kept for years, but now when I need it, I appear to have deleted it.

The spelling of the name is however YEARSLEY. A regular contributor to this site investigated this thoroughly :

Dear Mr Phillips-Evans

Ruardean Parish Register Entry
Thank you for your email.
A member of staff checked the parish register for Ruardean in question (P275 IN 1/1) although the condition of the register is very poor - being shades of brown as opposed to the shades of grey as on the microfilm - and is virtually impossible to read in places.

The marriage you are interested in is located in a particularly poor
section of the register but by using an ultraviolet lamp, we were able to
decipher the name and can confirm that it does read YEARSLEY.

Have also noticed the entry seven lines below regarding the baptism o f John Marfield, (presumably) the first son of William and Mary, on the 5th November 1676. I presume that you have seen it but thought that I would draw it to your attention in case you had not.

I hope that this is of help to you but please contact me again if the
Record Office can be of further assistance.

Yours sincerely,

John Putley

You are right, the parents of William Marfell 1653 were William Marfell born about 1625 and Elizabeth, they married in 1652 and they had 6 children, Elizabeth died and was buried in Ruardean 31.10.1680, William married again to Elizabeth Meredith 16.11.1681. I believe the parents of William Marfell born abt 1625 to be John Marfell & Elizabeth.
