NotesTop
Birth registered by his father Jesse, 10th March 1851.
District: Halifax
Sub-district: Halifax

Curiously, his wife Jane describes herself as a widow on the 1901 census, but her death certificate describes her as the wife, rather than widow of Charles Yewdall, a stone mason. His duaghter Ann's marriage certificate gives his occupation as Mill Inspector. In the light of the notice in the London Gazette it seems pretty likely that both of these occupations are made up.

Transcript of a notice published in the London Gazette, issue 27938, on 7th August 1906:

Pursuant to an Order of the Chancery Division of the High Court of Justice, made in an action re ALFRED YEWDALL, deceased, Mitchell v. Yewdall, 1906, Y., 364, whereby (inter alia) an inquiry was directed whether Charles Brear Yewdall, son of Jesse Yewdall, named in the will of the testator Alfred Yewdall, is living or dead, and, if dead, when he died, and if he died after 5th November, 1890, who is his legal personal representative. Notice is hereby given, that the said Charles Brear Yewdall, if living, or if he died after 5th November, 1890, then his legal personal representatives or any other person claiming under the said enquiry are, by their Solicitors, on or before the 1st day of November, 1906, to come in and prove their claims at the chambers of Mr. Justice Swinfen Eady and Mr. Justice Neville, at the Royal Courts of Justice, Strand, London, or in default thereof they will be peremptorily excluded from the benefit of the said Order. Thursday, the 8th day of November, 1906, at 11.30 o’clock in the forenoon, at the said chambers (Room No. 704), is appointed for hearing and adjudicating upon the claims.
NOTE.- The said Charles Brear Yewdall married Jane McKinnell at Bradford, in the county of York, on 27th January, 1872. He was last seen at Hull in 1887, since which time he has not been heard of. - Dated the 4th day of August, 1906.
