Welford, Northamptonshire

my family

I have traced my family back to Yelvertoft in the mid 1700's.  My family name is York and we are descendants of Thomas York who married Elizabeth Perkins in the late 1700's in Yelvertoft.

If you can help me go further back or are related in any way please contact me.
