According to the 1871 & 1881 census she is recorded as being in Yorkshire; in a place that looks to be Yellay on the '71, and Yellan or Yellen or the 1881. I have been able to find no such towns or villages in Yorkshire by this name. I was wondering if it was a small hamlet or farm? If anyone can help, it would be most appreciated. Thank you...
