Hello. I am also descended from Stanley Youds and Mary Chatterton, my gt grandmother was Catherine Youds, Mary Youds sister, they had brother Thomas. Mutch was a miller, and we have connections with Bidston Hill, Wirral. There is a windmill on the top of the hill and in the 1700's it was working. Please keep in contact . Regards.

Thanks Barbara. I'll be sure to let you know if I find out anything else. On the Stanley Youds side, I'm not sure if you've seen the tree on the following website but it traces back the Stanley family line quite far (as I believe Stanley Youds is the son of John Youds and Ellen Wharton, and Ellen Wharton in turn the daughter of John Wharton and Ellen Stanley). I've not managed to confirm any of it independantly as yet (being in Bermuda it can be a little difficult - as I'm sure you can appreciate being all the way over in New Zealand!). Anyway, here is the link: http://www.clairestanley.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/ Good luck with your search and hopefully we can find out something further soon.
