Mary GLANVILLE [68]

   Another name for Mary was Mary GLANVELL.

  General Notes:

I have found the marriage of a Mary Howells to Richard Yapp in December 1830, but it may have been a sister Mary of Elisha Howells rather than George Howells mother Mary (Glanville). Richard is said to be a blacksmith and although Mary's age does not match Mary (Glanville) currently assumed DOB. Due to several DNA matches with her descendants and Michael Jones found in 2019 it could be Mary, sister of Elisha or Mary (Glanville) wife of Elisha. Unfortunately, as the marriage is pre compulsory registration, it is not easily checked at this point if it is Mary Howells or Mary Glanville Howells.

Mary and Richard had several children

1. Mary Yapp b. 1832
2. Elijah Yapp b. 1837
3. Margrett Yapp b. 1838
4. Emma Yapp b. 1845
5. Elizabeth Yapp b. 1847

Richard Yapp died in 1872
Deaths Mar 1892 Yapp Mary 80 Ludlow 6a 494

There are 2 possibilities, Mary Howells who married Richard Yapp may be the Widow of Elijah Howells or may be the sister of Elijah Howells, as previously stated, there are several DNA matches with current generations, so it could be either.

I have recently found a marriage of a Mary Howells to a James Jones in Wales in 1836.

This MAY be the correct Mary Howells, but it is unlikely this can be proven, but may also account for George Howells using the surname Jones later in life.
