Hi Beki, Those 3 names are of women that married into the YELF family. Anne MIDLANE was born Brading IOW 1735,the daughter of James MIDLANE and Grace LAKE. She married James YELF son of Robert YELF and Elizabeth BOOKER July 22nd 1764 They are both buried at Newport, Anne died 1813 and James in 1807. Elizabeth GROVES married John YELF (brother of James) in Newport 1805. While there seems to be a question as to which John YELF he is??(note on document) The "note" on Elizabeth says" marr Newport 1805 burr Newport age 73 17th Oct 1834,she was a maid with Eliz WALLBRIDGE at Mr ROT(L)STONE'S,South Ventnor.Converted at same time". As the following entry is for Robert YELF's wife Sophia DENTON and as he was a Wesleyan preacher and Elizabeth WALLBRIDGE was known as the "Dairyman's Daughter" I am assuming that the conversion was to that church!!. Sophia DENTON born 1784-died 1870 Carrisbrooke(I have another notation that says Calbourne dist IOW but that could be her death dist.in 1870),married Robert YELF on June 8th 1832 he was bapt.Newport 1778, School Master and Wesleyan Preacher and died in 1855. Freshwater IOW "in the fifties,lived in Church at Freshwater" To date I have never found any children for this couple but they could have had a family!!
