vicky_whitfield — 2011-11-10 04:23:06Z

i have started to research my family history.
My maternal grandfather was Arthur Leonard Yapp, I am the daughter of the child Elisabeth Denise Yapp from his ( second ) marriage to Lily Edith Pope Dickens. He also had three children from a previous marriage to Laura Augusta Bates who died in 1916. They were Robert, Lettice and Arthur Leonard Rowley (Uncle Ronnie) who married Eileen Winifred Scholey Dickens.
Leonard ( grandfather ) and Lily Lived at 45, Tithe Barne Road
Stafford ( Augusta house). He was Manager at Boots chemist and died in 1949.
Does this sound interesting?

I am trying to find where my great grandfather, Ernest Yapp, is buried. As far as I can make out he lived with his daughter Gladys in Malvern before he died. he actually died in Hospital in Worcester in 1963. He lived in Llangoed in Wales before moving to live with his daughter. I did have the death certificate but i have lost it so will need to get it again.Hi wife's name was Margaret Ann Yapp(formerly Bayliss). Please if anybody can help at all I would be grateful. i have contacted Worcster Archives with no luck 7 also Ledbury cemetry with no luck. i cannot find out if he was taken back to Wales to be buried or not.

G'Day Mamaearth from Australia.

I did have one of my Yapp's that went to the USA in the early 1940s but she was a Diggins bye then and their down line family are living on Long Island NY.
Her Brother James William Yapp born 1893 in the East End of London came to Australia in 1913 but there is no trace of him here that I can find after his arrival date.
Are you able to tell me who your Grandfather is? Could he be a James William? and would have any ship record of him arriving in the US?

Look forward to hearing from you.

Hello Doug.

Good to hear from you and I have pasted some details that I have found, although you may already have this yourself.

I have looked at John and Mary for my own tree but not making the connection yet. My Yapp's are from the Eastend of London and before that, Birmingham and I believe before that,Shropshire.

The true origine may be more Norman than German and I was told that it actually could have been Yopp in the first place although some of my own Yapp's have shown on census's as being Yaap.

Good luck and hope this is of some value. Are you in Canada?
Regards.
Jim Yapp.

This ancient English surname of YAPP was a nickname for a clever or cunning person, derived from the Old Norman personal name YAP, and rendered in Old English as GEAP. The name is also spelt YAP and YAPE. The earliest of the name on record appears to be Richard YAP, who was recorded in Northumberland in the year 1200, and Edwin YAPE of Yorkshire, was listed in the Yorkshire Poll Tax of 1379. Hereditary surnames were originally imported from France into England during the Norman Conquest of 1066. In the two centuries or so after the Conquest surnames were acquired by most families of major landholders, and many landed families of lesser importance. There appears to have been a constant trickle of migration into Britain between about the years 1200 and 150O, mostly from France and the Low Countries, with a small number of migrants from Scandinavia, Germany, Italy and the Iberian peninsular, and occasional individuals from further afield. During this period groups of aliens settled in this country as for example, the Germans who from the late 15th century onwards settled in Cumbria to work the metal mines. Immigration during this time had only a small effect on the body of surnames used in Britain. In many cases, the surnames of immigrants were thoroughly Anglicised. The late sixteenth century saw the arrival, mostly in London and the south-coast ports of large numbers of people fleeing from the war regions of France. Later instances of the name include Christopher Baylie and Elizabeth YAPP, who were married in London in 1620. (No church recorded). Richard YAPP (a haberdasher) was baptised at St. Peter, Cornhill, London in the year 1655, and Francis YAPP and Lydia Shorland were married at St. George's, Hanover Square, London in the year 1792. In the Middle Ages heraldry came into use as a practical matter. It originated in the devices used to distinguish the armoured warriors in tournament and war, and was also placed on seals as marks of identity. As far as records show, true heraldry began in the middle of the 12th century, and appeared almost simultaneously in several countries of Western Europe. The lion depicted in the arms is the noblest of all wild beasts which is made to be the emblem of strength and valour, and is on that account the most frequently borne in Coat-Armour.

Yapp style ( Yapp edges )
A style of binding featuring a cover (leather, or other material, but customarily leather) that overlaps the three edges of both upper and lower covers continuously. The covers are always limp or semi-flexible, and are sometimes fitted with a zipper, which was a later refinement. Yapp books, named after the English bookseller of the second half of the 19th century, William Yapp, always have round corners, and the endpapers are frequently made from a "surface" paper, usually black. The edges are sometimes gilt, frequently over red, or are stained or otherwise colored. The Yapp style is especially associated with books of devotion (almost exclusively today), although a half century ago books of verse were sometimes bound in somewhat similar covers.

dougbd2 — 2008-08-19 01:11:04Z

My ggrandparents are John Yapp 1820 and Mary Yapp 1820. They were from Cradley, Herefordshire, England. It is hard to get information on the Yapp family though the family in Cradley seems to have been fairly wealthy. Some have suggested the family name may really have been Jupp of German origin.
My website is:

There are three Yapps listed (click on the key) and I can't find other links to this name.
Do you have any info about the family?

Hi there.
My name is James Yapp.
I have just seen your posting about your Birmingham Yapp's dated 16th June 2005. You have probably got this all sorted for yourself now but I understand that findmypast will soon be listing Parish records for Birth and Marriages. They have already listed Burial Parish records.

Although I am an London Eastend Yapp my upline Yapp's were from Birmingham and I believe John Yapp of 1791 who married Lucy Roberts in Aston Jaxta Birmingham in 1810 is my 3rd Great Grandfather.
This John Yapp of 1791 is the only John I can find born in warwickshire in a span of many years all other John's are Shropshire or Hereford.
This John have a son John born in Warwickshire about 1811.

I would look forward to hearing from you, perhaps we have a connection somewhere.
Regards.
Jim and Joyce Yapp.

Re: Yapp

jimbo44_1 — 2007-11-03 22:24:33Z

Hi and many thanks for your reply.
I had actually forgotten all about the posting. I would have done this back in 2005 when I was just starting on the family researching thing myself.

I have not been able to definately confirm my findings either past my Great Grandfather William Yapp born c1840 in Birmingham. Although I can not find a birth record for him in Birmingham
He marrieed Hannah Maria Price in Bethnall Green London in 1865 buit her parents were also from Birmingham.

I believe William's parents were John and Sarah Yapp (Nee Taylor)
I have 3 other siblings for my William being:
Mary Ann or (Marianne) born. c1832. Married William Bacon??
John born. c1834. Married Ann Hill??
Frederick born. 26th Oct 1836. No marriage details.

John 1834 parents. I have as being:
John and Lucy Yapp (Nee Roberts)Both born about 1791 in Birmingham.
Married in Aston Jaxta.9th July 1810.

John c1791 parents. I have as being:
John c1767 and Elizabeth Yapp (Nee Fairfield.) c1762. Both from Birmingham.
I would look forward to hearing from you so that we can exchange details in greater detail.

I don't yet have a John of 1874 in my records but I'm sure we would have some connection here somewhere.
Perhaps my John of 1834 had another son John about 1874.
I do have a daughter for him being:
Annie of c1868 born in Bethnal Green so it is all in the right location.

wheelintony — 2007-10-29 11:48:43Z

Sorry if this post is a repeat.

I am a newbee to this research and I may not be much help to you. My grandfather was John Yapp born in 1874, I think - I have not yet been able to confirm his birth but there is only one John Yapp listed in that year and that was in Birmingham. However he lived most of his life in London, marrying in 1905 in Clerkenwell.

It is possible that our paths may cross. There was a family "tradition" of naming the first boy John and second names were not given. Any advice you can give me will be gratefully accepted!

I am a Yapp from Staffordshire!

Anyone particular that you are looking for? My grandfather James and father Raymond were/are based around West Bromwich but (and I am fairly new to this) I cannot yet make a definite identification of my great-grandfather (also James b~1892) in the 1901 census. I know he lived in Oldbury / Langley (Worcestershire at the time).

Has anyone got any Yapp families in Staffordshire

James William Yapp

2006-11-03 05:00:38Z

I am looking for descentants of James William Yapp. He was born in East London on the 12th August 1893.
He Emmigrated to Australia and arrived in Victoria on the 19th June 1913 on board the ship Miltiades.
After that, we have no trace of him.
We have not been able to find any Marriage or Death details. We think he may have moved to NSW or Qld.
The only possible connection is a Death of a Jane Yapp in 1938, Marrickville NSW, who's father's name was James William Yapp and the Mother was also Jane Yapp but there are no other details.

If anyone can help with a Marriage or a Death for him, it would be so good.
Better still, if you are descendants of a James William Yapp, please make contact.

My thanks in anticipation of stricking gold.
James Yapp.

Re: James William Yapp

SadMushroom — 2006-10-16 09:13:54Z

Hello Hello
I think this may be who you mean??
Arrival to Victoria
YAPP JAS WM 19 JUN 1913 MILTIADES B 874 005

I cannot find a marriage for him upto 1920 in VIC, 1955 in NSW or anytime in SA. I cannot even see a death.
If you have his parents names it may help with the death but other than that he may have gone to Queensland (seems to be alot YAPP there) or even left Australia again.
