  • Notes 
    • MOSES YOXALL

      Moses was buried at Church Minshull rather than Middlewich or Church Hulme (Holmes Chapel) both of which would have been nearer to Sproston. Does this imply he was originally from, or near, Church Minshull or Minshull Vernon?

      Whilst Moses was possibly born in Cheshire his parents may have come from Headless Cross, Worcestershire - a village in Ipsley parish, Warwick, and Feckenham parish, Worcester, and a chapelry partly also in Tardebigg parish, Worcester. The village stands on the boundary between Warwick and Worcester, 2 miles W of Ipsley, and 5¼ SE of Bromsgrove railway station.

      Moses possibly had a brother Peter born circa 1753 who married Ann Lea but this was Chester.

      Possibilities for Moses's father:
      Moses - born approx 1730
      Peter - born approx 1710
      Abraham Yoxall married Mary Cowper 17 February 1734 in Nantwich
      Abraham Yoxall married Jane Harding 08 March 1724 in Church Minshull
      Abraham Yoxshall married Mary Bevington 07 January 1751 in Cheshire
      Benjamin Yoxall married, by Publication, Jonahana Leaw 01 January 1739 in Middlewich
      Peter Yaxall married Jane Kennerley 30 May 1731 in Middlewich
      Richard Yaxall married Elizabeth Burroughs 16 July 1751 in Cheshire
      Robert Yoxall married Mary Street 14 May 1750 in Cheshire
      Robert Yoxall, blacksmith married Esther Ridyard, spinster at St Michaels 06 December 1747 (possibly Chester so unlikely)
      Thomas Yoxall married Mary Cooke 15 May 1727 in Davenham

      Church Minshull - Between 1736 & 1752 Abraham Yoxall has 5 daughters named Mary

      A Peter Yoxall was baptised in 1740 in Middlewich - his father was Peter

      Moses could sign his name when he married

      Moses & Elizabeth Married by Licence as Elizabeth was under 21 with agreement from her father

      Possibly had another daughter Johannah who married John Buckley 04 October 1801 in Middlewich
