I have a William Yemm Church born in Littledean 22/01/1865 - Baptised 16/02/1865 Mitcheldean Congregational.

Parents John Church & Eliza Yemm - married 04/10/1860 at St Michael, Abenhall.

John deserted the family in 1866. Their children were bording with who I believe are Eliza's parents. William Yemm (80) & Mary Yemm (81) at Baby Lane, Abinghall. His broethers were John F (Frank) Church and Albert Church.

Only records of William is his Royal Engineer service records - Joined 01/01/1890 to16/12/1899 Home based service. South Africa 17/12/1899 to 22/08/1902 - Discharge Chatham.

Looking for any help or information for 1881 census, marriages etc.

As not sure when he left the area or if he came back and married locally.

Thank you in advance
