Jane another couple of entries on familysearch if you havent looked there. https://familysearch.org/search/record/results?count=20&query=%2Bgivenname%3ARobert~%20%2Bsurname%3AWeldrake~%20%2Bbirth_place%3AYorkshire~ Edie ------------------------------------------ From: eamca via <yorksgen@rootsweb.com> To: jane.woodall@virgin.net; yorksgen@rootsweb.com; Subject: Re: [YORKSGEN] A word of encouragement but not Yorkshire Hi Jane, Robert is mentioned in passing of this article of the origin of Weldrake. It mentions a John and Barbary Weldrake and I thinkit was a Judith, daughter of robert Weldrake being baptised. http://www.surnamedb.com/Surname/Weldrake I was wondering if it is possible that you may need to look for a spinster birth. I was wondering if maybe Barbary,tough that may not be correct. the reason I mention it is,I had my brothers ydna done a few years back and was disappointed to find that he didnt match, two descendants of brothers either side of my great grandfather.
