NOTE the following is from Sue Batch (email Dec 2007) "Lucy Yeomans born approx 1803 Desborough died 28 Jul 1863 buried Desborough 31st Jul 1863 married David Rowthorn 1804 – (1871 not confirmd). Lucy I think is the daughter of William & Ann Yeomans as in 1841 her daughter Lucy Rowthorn 1828-1850 is staying with them, unfortunately 1841 doesn’t give relationship but I think it would be their grandchild. Lucy was the eldest of the 8 Rowthorn children so I’m guessing David & Lucy married shortly before or shortly after her birth in 1828. I haven’t found the marriage yet in Parish records but I am still wading through them looking for it."
