Illegitimate Edward Cavendish Yates and mother Fanny Yates

wilsonandall — 2012-01-13 14:15:42Z

I am trying to find out something about Fanny Yates, mother of Edward Cavendish Yates, my maternal great grandfather.

I have E.C.Yates's birth certificate: Born 1845; mother - Fanny Yates; no father; born at 6 Sherborne Street, St Marylebone, Middlesex.

Residents at this address in 1941 census are all of the surname Bundey (including one called Fanny but I don't think this is his mother). The 1951 census is unreadable for this address.

I can find no record of an Edward Cavendish Yates again until his marriage in 1873 to Priscilla Jane Mecham. I only have the record not the marriage certificate.

His eldest son is of exactly the same name but born in 1874.

There are a few Fanny Yates' (his mother's name) around at this time and I have various 'theories', but none that I can back up with hard evidence.

The family story goes that as a child Edward, whose later lifestyle was that of a gentleman, would watch his mother in a carriage on the way to the Epsom Derby from the Epsom College School gates. I can find no record that fits his dates at this school.

I would love any clues that anyone may have.

I am a descendant of Catharine Cavendish and
Hiram Skelton who married in Habersham Co. GA in 1821.
I have info on the children of this marriage. All lived in
GA, AL, and TX.
They named their first son William Moore Skelton (1822-1900)
I found on the AGBI a William Moore Cavendish on the
censuses in Pendleton SC. His birth listed as 1750. Wondering if this is Catharine's father.

Does anyone have info on these people?

Hello Jayne

I have just started researching the Cavendish family for a friend and have come across your posting.

I have found Henry Augustus Cavendish who married Eliza Newman in 1851. They had the following children:-
Richard 1852, Henry 1854, Arthur 1855, Edward 1857,George 1859, Minnie Mary 1860, James 1862, William 1866 and John 1869.

Henry Augustus was born in Southwark and Eliza in Newington. The children were born in various parts of London.

Do you have any further information? I got as far back as William Cavendish who married a Mary (parents of Henry John Cavendish b 1798) but that is as far as I have got.

I see you posted in Jun 2009, hopefully there may be some more info now.

Thank you

Stella

Arthur Cavendish

annetteweiser1 — 2008-09-23 18:57:09Z

My grandfather was born Arthur Cavendish and he had a brother, Anthony Cavendish. My father told me his father was born in Cork, Ireland. Arthur and Anthony mother's name was Kate. When she married Arthur Schleman, she used the name Minion on the marriage license. Apparently, that was her maiden name. Any help would be appreciated. My e-mail address is annetteweiser1@gmail.com.

annetteweiser1 — 2008-07-10 16:20:46Z

In my previous post I wrote that Maude Cavendish married Henry Schleman. It was Kate Cavendish who married Schleman.

Cavendish marriage info.

pamanddewey — 2004-06-11 19:49:24Z

Wm. Cavendish was married three times and had children by the first two wives but not by Alice Mann, who was his third wife.
The 1st wife was Mary Nancy McCoy Williams, widow of Thomas Williams. She and her children had been captured by Indians and taken hostage. After her release they married. Don't know when she died, but he mnarried Jane Murphy 2/6/1794. Children born prior to his second marriage were Jane (b.1779, m. Joseph McClung); Andrew (b. 1787, m. Janet McClung); and Rebecca (b.1790,m. Alexander McClung). Children born to his second wife were William H. (b1794, m. Jane McCoy); and Mary (husband's 3rd grt. grandmother; family says she was called Polly; b. 1798, m. Isaac Callison).

Re: Cavendish marriage info.

2004-05-13 23:39:16Z

Hello.
I am descended through Andrew Cavendish and his daughter Margaret Cavendish. I was unsure who his mother actually was. I thought that it was William's second wife. I have been to Fayette, County WV several times. I have read that Andrew is burried in the Crist Halsted Cemetery, but I have never found a marker. Do you have any more information regarding the Cavendish family? I am working on my DAR. I would appreciate any help that you are able to offer.

Hi, I am the granddaughter of Otis Cavendish; the son of Joseph Cavendish; who is decended from William Henderson Cavendish. I too would like to know why William H. Cavendish came here from Ireland. I have been told that he lived in Ireland so that he could be in the House of Lords representing Ireland. I also have been told that he escaped from Ireland because of sympathy he had for the Irish.

June:

I know that Kate Cavendish's maiden name was Minien. She was born in Dublin, Ireland in 1841. She had two children after getting married and her sons name were Arthur Cavendish born 1865 in Epping, Essex, England, and Anthony Cavendish born 1870 in Romford, Essex, England. I do not know what Kate's first husband name was. Kate then married Henry Anthony Schleman. In the 1881 British Census Arthur and Anthony are listed as Schleman. I have not found a Laura McCavendish in my family tree.

I appreciate any help from you.

Re: Anna Cavendish

Hi,

You could try the Chatsworth House website (Derbyshire, England) - the home of the Duke & Duchess of Devonshire (i.e. Cavendishes/Gernons).

Unfortunately, their website makes no mention at all of their Gernon ancestry........
(It's well documented just about everywhere else...!).

Best wishes in your hunt,

Paul (PVG)

William Hunter Cavendish

KEITH_MCCLUNG — 2003-09-04 14:47:24Z

Gary, The McClung Genealogy written in 1904 mentioned that rebecca was related to Lord Cavendish of England. This should prove that she was related to WHC. WHC is the only Cavendish that I have located in Greenbrier Co., so he is the only one that could be the father of the children. WHC entered Greenbrier Co. in 1769-Augusta Co. Court Records. I have no other proof. No I do not have a copy of the will, but it is located in bath Co., Va. I would like to see proof of his first wife. The only hope about proof of his mother and sisters would probably be in Augusta Co. Court records. Keith
