Birth Notes
John Birchall's website provides great insight into Edmund Howarth Yeoman, Chapman and perhaps the industralist, but may contain some serious errors. He has his birth as 1704 and death as 1759, so its unlikely he married Catherine Pickering (b.1713) as their marriage is recorded at Blackburn in 1716 and William's 1723 baptism records both parents names.
