A YEATES FAMILY IN DUBLIN.ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS WILL CONTINUE TO BE MADE WHILE THIS NOTICE REMAINS.
In 1921, William Jackson PIGOTT (he was a first cousin of my great-grandfather, the Dublin born Rev Henry Robert PIGOTT), in a Post Scriptum to his introductory notes to the DIXON Papers [MS 8222 (2), Genealogical Office, Dublin], wrote:
"I used to hear my father speak of a 'Nosey' YATES, whom I fancy was a Cutler in South Georges Street, and wonder if they were related, through the Joseph VICKERS connection, i.e., could Joseph's wife Elizabeth have been a YATES?
"In the Dublin Directory for 1835 I find a Richard YATES, Cutler-in-general, Georges Street, Kingstown. Directory of 1821, Richard YEATES, Knife and Sword Cutler, 9 Parliament Street."
THE FAMILY OF CUTLERS IN DUBLIN NAMED YEATES.
"I used to hear my father speak of a 'Nosey' YATES, whom I fancy was a Cutler in South Georges Street, and wonder if they were related, through the Joseph VICKERS connection, i.e., could Joseph's wife Elizabeth have been a YATES?
"In the Dublin Directory for 1835 I find a Richard YATES, Cutler-in-general, Georges Street, Kingstown. Directory of 1821, Richard YEATES, Knife and Sword Cutler, 9 Parliament Street."
Joseph VICKERS was born in 1734; Silk Weaver, of Golden Lane, of the Coombe (1780), and of Chambre Street (1792); his death details have not yet found; he was married, probably about 1757, to Elizabeth (maiden surname unknown, perhaps YATES or YEATES?); she probably died on 14 May 1797, "... relict of the late Mr VICKERS of Dublin"; their first child Mary was born in 1759.
However, no information appears to have survived as to the birth identity of Joseph VICKERS' wife Elizabeth.
And significantly, William Jackson PIGOTT, who died in the same year, 1921, had spent some number of years researching his family history, with access to a significant number of original documents which were lost in the Four Courts building fires of the following year, 1922. If he could not find his father's maternal grandmother's maiden surname, it is unlikely that anyone will.
Although several near "coincidences" in residential addresses might be of some interest here:
a. John YEATES, of Elbow Lane, was buried at St Catherine's parish church, Dublin, 6 February 1836, aged 72. I do not know whether he was a Cutler, but the VICKERS family of Weavers also resided for a time in Elbow Lane a generation or so earlier, during the 1790s.
b. George YEATES, Optician, had three children born at 70 Charlemont Street, Dublin, in 1832, 1834 and 1836. My great-grandfather, Henry Robert PIGOTT, was born at No 16 Charlemont Street several years later, in 1838. And it appears, from research summarised below, that the family of Opticians was almost certainly related, and perhaps quite closely, to the family of Cutlers.
Perhaps "Nosey" YEATES, Cutler or not, was merely a nearish neighbor who came to William PIGOTT's attention when his son William Jackson PIGOTT was in his childhood?
But William Jackson PIGOTT, an only child, was only 14 when his father died. I doubt that he had developed too deep an interest in his family history at such a young age. But, I may be wrong.

A SHORT TUTORIAL FOR SEARCHING DUBLIN DEEDS.
The following research includes reference to the holdings of the Deeds Registry, in Henrietta Street, Dublin North. The Registry commenced registering property deeds in 1708, as required by Acts of the Irish Parliament. All property transactions were affected, including leaseholds.
The Registry, in Henrietta Street, Dublin, is a dour and forbidding place, and navigating the records there takes some time, as well as stamina. The volumes into which they were copied are wieldy, and some almost precariously out of reach; and the language of Deeds making recorded in them is very dry legalese - designed to minimize the risk of conflicts ending up in the Irish Courts.
Each property deed was prepared in duplicate, both copies being signed and sealed, one going to the Grantee as proof of his/her "holding" the property deed, the other being lodged in the basement of the Registry for a very secure safe keeping - these were given a Memorial Number, and a transcript of the contents of each was written up by Registry Clerks into Memorial Books, which were lodged upstairs, in publicly accessible reading rooms, as were the two sets of Index books, one an alphabetical list of Grantors (all Grantors have a separate entry, but for each of these entries, the name of the principal Grantee is listed), the other of Place names.
The memorials are not full transcripts (phrases like "as therein mentioned" indicate that wording has been omitted by the Copying Clerk), and not entirely free of errors (occasionally a complete line of text has been accidentally overlooked - which is easy to see why, when the repetitive style of "belt-and-braces" language written on wide paper, filled in in "landscape" orientation, makes it a chore to keep up with the lineation.
The last time I visited the Registry, over ten years ago, it was possible, for a fee, to view originals from the basement - but I had to show cause, and then make my notes, wearing white cotton gloves, and with a staff member watching over me to ensure the security of the original. And for the fee, I also got a photocopy of the document.
The most useful aspect of viewing original copies lies in the actual signatures - several knotty problems with my Irish PIGOTT ancestors has only been resolved by comparison of signatures.
At any rate, the upstairs viewing rooms are where you would spend your time researching the volumes of Indexes and then Memorials, if you visited the Registry.
In 1951, the Registry licensed The Church of J.C. of Latter Day Saints to microfilm all of the Memorial books and the Index books. Copies of these films also went to PRONI in Belfast, and to Salt Lake City.
Fortunately, and quite recently, the L.D.S. digitalized these microfilm images, and these are now viewable on the www.familysearch.org web-site.
But they are only readable, and are not yet in a format that would enable the images to be scanned digitally for a particular name or term. What that means is this - you have to search through the index books, just like we had to do, in the past in Dublin - but which can now do without leaving home!
They are not easy to navigate.
You will need to register on the web-site, with a P.I.N. access, to use the resource.
To get into that, you will need to select "catalogue" from the drop-down search menu.
Then you will need to enter "Ireland" into the search box for place name, then open the key-words box, and insert the word "Conveyances."
This will provide four options - just select the one with "property" in the title, and a hyperlink will appear, entitled "Deeds, Conveyances and Wills, 1708-1929" or such-like.
This is the one you want.
It is a huge resource, and takes time to down-load. Watch the scroll bar on the right side of the screen, and when the darker bit retracts back up to the top, you are ready to start.
Good luck!
The following details of Irish YEATES families contain references to a number of Deeds accessed by this method. The references are made in the following fashion - [Memorial number, Book number, Page number].
Three types of deeds are considerably more useful for family historians than most - Wills (infrequent), Marriage Settlements, and Leases for terms of Lives (as opposed to the more common fixed term). Occasionally we even find Articles of Marriage Separation!
Many of these details are now unlikely to be available from any other archived source.
Other sources are as cited below:
i. BETHAM's Abstracts are viewable on Findmypast.co.uk - they are scanned and searchable digital images of his original notebooks from the late 1820's, shortly before he was appointed to the Office of Chief Herald in Ireland, made from Prerogative Court of Ireland records then held in the Public Records Office, which was housed in the Four Courts Building in Dublin, most of which originals were destroyed in the 1922 fires.
ii. FOLLIOTT's and CROSSLE's Abstracts are also on Findmypast.co.uk.
iii. Irish Newspaper notices are largely from the British Newspaper Archives, accessed through the subscription of the Society of Australian Genealogists at their Library in Kent Street, Sydney.
I have used the abbreviation P.C.I. to stand for the Prerogative Court of Ireland. This was the Archdiocesan Court in Dublin, which handled the granting of Marriage Licenses, Probates and Administrations in that Administrative area.
There is a longer tutorial, navigating through the images that we see, which is, altogether, another story. Ask, and it will be delivered.

Jonathan YEATES, of the City of Dublin, Cutler; his Indented Deed, dated 31 August 1793 [Memorial 310257], by which he demised Lands in Coolestown otherwise Trescott, of 77 acres, to John YEATES, of the City of Dublin, Gent, witnessed by Robert YEATES, of Dublin, Gent.
Jonathan YEATES, Cutler, 20 Old Church Street, Dublin, 1801 [Wilson's Dublin Trade Directory].
Richard YEATES, probably born before 1783; he was admitted to the Freedom of Dublin, Michaelmas 1804, in the Cutler's Guild, by Grace Especial; of Church Street, Cutler, August 1804, when he signed, with other Merchants, a notice that they had "... agreed to take Spanish Dollars at 5 shillings 5 pence, finding their actual value to be nearly that sum, and knowing the great convenience it must be to ourselves and the public to have them in circulation as change" [Saunders News-Letter, 35 August 1804] ; he was elected a Warden of the Guild of St Luke, otherwise the Corporation of Cutlers, Painters and Stationers, 18 October 1805, for the ensuing year [Saunders News-Letter, 21 October].
Richard YEATES, Cutler, 4 Arran Quay, Dublin, 1812 [Treble Almanac] and 1814 [STEWART's "Gentleman's and Citizen's Almanack"].

Richard YEATES, Cutler, 9 Parliament Street, September 1819 [Dublin Evening Post, 28 September], informing the public that he intended offering for sale, at the ensuing Fair at Ballinasloe, opposite Mt LOCHLIN's Inn, "... an extensive Assortment of elegantly finished Transparent Ivory hafted Table Knives and Forks, which will retain their colour; Green Ivory ditto; Green Bone ditto; Horn hafted ditto; Razors, Scissors, Penknives, Snuffers, Bottle Screws, Spurs of the newest pattern, with every Article in the Cutlery Business.."
Richard YEATES, Knife and Sword Cutler, 9 Parliament Street, Dublin, 1818 [Treble Almanac]; YEATES, Cutler, No 9 Parliament Street, Dublin, November 1821 [Saunders News-Letter, 9 November], as the venue for a sale of Elegant Pedal Harps and a Round End Pianoforte by Mr William TOWNEND, Harp Maker of London; Richard YEATES, Knife and Sword Cutler to His Majesty, 9 Parliament Street, Dublin, 1822 [Treble Almanac].
Mr YEATES, Cutler, of Sackville Street, stood as a candidate for the Mastership of the Corporation of Cutlers, Painter Stainers and Stationers, at their Triennial Council, 24 August 1830 [Saunders News-Letter, 25 August], but was defeated by rival Mr William NORTH, of Pill Lane, Hardware Merchant, which resulted "... was received with tremendous cheering."
In March 1835, Mr Richard YEATES, Cutler, of 18 Grafton Street, complained to the Magistrates at College Street, "... against the conduct of a man named CAWFIELD, who had contracted to remain in his employment for three years at 11s. 6d. per week, and had lately absented himself for a fortnight under pretense of being ill. Mr YEATES, on going to his home on Sunday following, with a view to give him money, found that he was not there, and looking into an out-house, perceived a complete set of cutlers tools, which he afterwards ascertained he was daily using in making castle-top spikes. Mr YEATES stated that he was endeavouring to revive a trade which had not been known in Ireland for the last 35 years, viz - the making and finishing of steel forks. His father used to supply himself with that article from Sheffield, and at very great expense; he was getting it manufactured in Dublin. With that view he entered into a contract with several working cutlers similar to that existing between him and CAWFIELD..." [Dublin Morning Register, 12 March 1835] - this Richard YEATES does indeed appear to have been a bit "nosey" when admitted looking for the missing CAWFIELD in his out-house!
Richard YEATES, Cutler in General, George's Street, Dublin, 1835 [PETTIGREW and OULTON's Dublin Almanac and General register of Ireland].
He was probably the Mr YEATES, Cutler, who died at Ballinasloe, 29 October 1842 [Weekly Freeman's Journal, 29 October].
YEATES and Coy, Old established cutlery establishment, 165 Capel Street, Dublin, 1843 [P.O. Annual Directory].

THE OPTICIANS, OF DESCENT FROM THE CUTLERS.
Andrew YEATES; of Whitestown, County Dublin; he died suddenly, in 1796, of apoplexy, when his daughter Maria was 12 years old; his Administration was granted 7 April 1796 to his widow Mary; however, it appears that he had issue by a wife named Hannah [birth years, approximated, are from Kenneth COOKE's 2010 Rootsweb post]:
1. Samuel YEATES, born about 1762; a celebrated Optician and Mathematical Instrument Maker, of Capel Street, then of Grafton Street, Dublin, who is said to have departed from the rules of primogenture by having his father's estate divided equally up among himself and his five surviving younger siblings [Journal of his niece, Martha SPENCE - www.ourheywoodfamily.blogspot.com web-site].

"My mother was one of six children whose father Andrew YEATES owned a freehold property, named Whitestown about 20 miles north of Dublin. He died suddenly of apoplexy when my mother was 12 years old. And by right of primogeniture Samuel the oldest son would have inherited the freehold estate property saving that, that allowed to the widow, but he nobly waived his right and it was equally divided among the children. There were four sons, Samuel, William, Kendrick and Joshua two daughters, Ellen, and Maria.
"Ellen was married to a printer and bookseller of the name of Christopher CROOKS, resided in the city of Dublin carrying on that line of business for over 40 years. He lived many years before his death in a house where he carried on the above business 85 Capel Street where his son of the same name succeeded him.
"Samuel YEATES was a celebrated Optician and Mathematical Instrument Maker, resided for many years 81 Capel Street opposite Lower Castle Yard but some years before he died he changed his residence to the corner of Nassau and Grafton Street where his son George succeeded him in the same business.
"William got possession of the old homestead by allowing some right to the youngest son Joshua.
"Kendrick YEATES the next youngest learned the manufacture of all kinds of ornamental brass works and kept a brass foundry in Stafford Street for years and was celebrated in that line of business. He was also in the optician and instrument maker but more especially followed the ornamental brass works.
"My mother (Maria) lived to the homestead for a few years with her mother. She then placed herself in a boarding school in the city to improve herself in education and while in Dublin she formed acquaintance with an old lady of the name of Stephens who kept a toy and fancy store, and induced my mother to buy her out which she did & instead of returning to the old homestead to live with her mother she commenced business in the mercantile line in a small way, & made it her home to her brother Kendrick who was married and in the Brass and Optician business In this way she lived fives years enjoying life to her hearts content and one of her intimate acquaintances was the above named Elizabeth or Mrs. Buckton, where she met my father who was then in the Army and before my mother consented to become his wife she hade him promise that he would give up the profession and turn his attention to mercantile business, which was done at a great expense being time of war it was difficult to find a substitute and that at a high premium. They married September 1806 and the house on the corner of Nassau and Frederick street trinity Colledge and its grounds forming one side of Madison Street which gave a splendid view of the park grounds from the upper windows of the house My father had to give two thousand pounds for the lease or priviledge of renting the house at the rate of eighty pounds a year."

"Here lyeth the Body of Samuel YATES, Esq'r, Departed this life 20 February 1765, aged 84 years; also the body of his wife Alice, Departed this life Feb 10 1768, aged 70 years; And also the remains of their second son Thomas YATES, Esq, of Colganstown in this parish, who Departed this life suddenly on the 8th day of Jan 1815, in the 89th year of his age, and without having suffered from sickness during his entire life."

[Journal of the Association for the Preservation of the Memorials of the Dead in Ireland, Volume VI, Dublin, 1906, page 280.]
Samuel YEATES the elder was married, and clearly before about 1740, to a wife only known to us as Alice; she died 10 February 1768, aged 70 years; they appear to have had issue:
1. Samuel YEATES the younger, born in or before 1740, and perhaps well before; named as first life for the term of his father's deed, 1741. See [M] below.
2. Thomas YEATES, born about 1726, the second son; named as second life for the term of his father's deed, 1741; he inherited his father's Lands in Colganstown; he died on 8 January 1815, aged 88 years.
? Rachel YEATS, baptized at St Werburgh's, 4 June 1723, daughter of Samuel and Alice, from Castle Street, Dublin.
? Rachel YEATS, baptized at St Werburgh's, 4 June 1723, daughter of Samuel and Alice, from Castle Street, Dublin.
[M] Samuel YEATES, of Moone, County Kildare, Esq (born in or before 1738, and perhaps well before); his Indented Deed dated 6 September 1759 [Memorial 133353, Book 199, Page 568], by which he and his wife Margaret YEATES otherwise ARTHURE, acknowledge that they had received from Henry ASTON and Thomas COOKE, both of the City of Dublin, Esqrs, executors of the last will and testament of Daniel COOKE, late of the City of Dublin, Alderman, deceased, by the hands of Margaret ARTHURE, of the City of Dublin, Widow, the sum of 1056 pounds 6s 3d, due to them as the annuity Margaret YEATES had from the estate of her late father Benedict ARTHUR, of Seafield County Dublin, by his alleged will dated 10 July 1752 [Memorial 105565, Book 155, Page 495], in which he names his wife Margaret, and his children Daniel, Margaret and Elinor Christian ARTHUR, none yet then married (not to be confused with Benedict ARTHUR of New Church Street, St Michan's parish, Peruke Maker, who made his will on 21 March 1753, reciting that he had been advised that by a Deed dated 10 May 1693, made between John ARTHUR of Cabrah, County Dublin, Esq, with Michael CHAMBERLAIN, that he was thereby the "... next heir at law to the estate of the said John ARTHUR after the death of his son Benedict ARTHUR, who died in October last (evidently 1752), without leaving any lawful issue" and further mentioning the late Benedict ARTHUR had devised his estates to "... his dearly beloved wife Margaret, and after her death shall devolve to his dearly beloved kinsman the eldest son of Thomas ARTHUR"- which all appears to be in conflict with the earlier will (assuming that there were not two of the same name, which there may have been).
Samuel YEATES; of Moone, County Kildare, Esq; he was married by P.C.I. License dated 15 July 1752, to Margaret ARTHUR, of St Thomas's parish, Dublin, Spinster [BETHAM]; she was probably a daughter of Benedict ARTHUR. It is unclear whether this was the elder, or the younger.
Samuel and Margaret probably had issue:
1. Samuel YEATES, born in County Kildare, about 1753; admitted to Trinity College, Dublin, as a Pensioner (Mr DARBY), 10 July 1769, aged 16, son of Samuel, Armiger, born County Kildare [Alumni Dublinenses]. He does not appear to have prospered.
2. Benedict Arthur YEATES, a co-defendant of litigation in 1801 over his late father's estate.
3. Possible other issue, perhaps including John YEATES, baptized at St Mary's C.of I., Dublin, 22 September 1761, so of Samuel and Margaret?
2. Benedict Arthur YEATES, a co-defendant of litigation in 1801 over his late father's estate.
3. Possible other issue, perhaps including John YEATES, baptized at St Mary's C.of I., Dublin, 22 September 1761, so of Samuel and Margaret?
Samuel YEATES, of Moon, County Kildare, Esq; his wife died at Drogheda Street, Dublin, November 1762 [Dublin Courier, 29 November]. This was Samuel was the younger, and his first wife Margaret YEATES otherwise ARTHURE.
Samuel YEATES, the younger, of Moone in County Kildare, Esq (born in or before 1743); his Indented Deed dated 8 February 1764 [Memorial in Book 222, Page 382], naming Richard JOHNSTON of Gilford, County Down, and Thomas YEATES of Colganstown, County Dublin, Esq, as the joint second party, and Katherine JOHNSTON of the City of Dublin, Spinster, as the third party, and reciting that by a Deed of Lease dated May 1746, his father, Samuel YEATES the elder (probably the above 1752 spouse), had acquired from Henry ASHTON and others, the Town and Lands of Moone, in the Barony of Kilhee (?), County Kildare, for 999 years at a rent of 303 pounds 10s sterling a year.
Samuel YEATES, Esq, of Moon, County Kildare; he resided at Sackville Street, Dublin, 1784, 1785; his Indented Deed of Lease dated 5 April 1790 [Memorial 274438], by which he demised to Robert BELL, also of Dublin, a house and ground in Sackville Street, for the term of the natural lives of John Bowes BENSON, the surviving life of an earlier lease, Catherine BAYLY otherwise YEATES, wife of Robert BAYLEY of Ballintore, County Kildare, a daughter of the said Samuel YEATES, aged about 21 years, and Richard YEATES, the fourth son of the said Samuel, aged about 8 years; he died at his residence, New Sackville Street, Dublin, in January 1799, "... after a few days illness" [Saunders News-Letter, 9 January]; he bequeathed the house at Moone to his widow, and the land to his son by his first wife [Mary LEADBEATER, MSS and Correspondence, Volume 1, London, 1862, page 409]; litigation over his estate was brought before the High Court of Chancery in Ireland, by Norcott Henry D'ESTERRE and his wife Myrtilla D'ESTERRE otherwise YEATES, as Plaintiffs, v. Benedict Arthur YEATES, Esq, Catherine YEATES, John Douglas JOHNSTON, Esq, and others, as Defendants, which action resulted in an order, dated 30 November 1801, by which creditors were invited to restate their claims, in a notice published in December 1802 [Dublin Evening Post, 27 December].
Samuel YEATES was married, evidently secondly [see BURKE's "Landed Gentry of Ireland," 1899 - pedigree of JOHNSTONE of Snow Hill, Fermanagh], in February 1764, to Catherine JOHNSTON, of Henry Street, daughter of the late Richard JOHNSTON of Gilford in the County Down, Esq [Dublin Courier, 13 February]; they probably had issue:
1. a son.
2. Catherine YEATES, born about 1768; a life for the term of her father's lease, dated April 1790, then aged about 21; "... the agreeable Miss Kitty YEATES" was married in November 1784 to Robert BAYLEY, of Ballitore, County Kildare, Esq [Hibernian Journal, or Chronicle of Liberty, 15 November].
3. a second son.
4. a son, probably the third, was born at Sackville Street, Dublin, 23 March 1779 [Gentleman's and London Magazine, 1779].

7. a daughter, born at Sackville Street, September 1783 [Saunders News-Letter, 20 September].
8. a daughter; born at Sackville Street, July 1785 [Saunders News-Letter, 11 July].
Matilda YEATES, of Timolin, Diocese of Dublin, Spinster, was married by P.C.I. License dated 10 October 1789, to Norcott Henry D'ESTERRE [BETHAM]; Norcott was identified by Mary LEADBEATER [her MSS and Correspondence], as a brother-in-law of Richard YEATES of Moon who was killed by rebel soldiers in 1798; as Myrtilla D'ESTERRE otherwise YEATES, she and her husband Norcott were Plaintiffs in a case they brought before the High Court of Chancery, in which the defendants were Benedict Arthur YEATES, Esq, Catherine YEATES and John Douglas JOHNSTON, and others, and which resulted in an Order of that Court dated 30 November 1801 [Dublin Evening Post, 27 December 1802].
Samina Maria YEATES, probably born in or before 1780, youngest daughter of Samuel YEATES of Moon Abbey, County Kildare, when she was married, in 1798, to John Douglas JOHNSTONE of Snow Hill, Lisbellaw, County Fermanagh [BURKE's L.G.I., 1899 - pedigree of JOHNSTONE of Snow Hill].

YEATES OF BUTLERSTOWN, COUNTY DUBLIN.
Isaiah YEATES; of Butlerstown, County Dublin, Gent; his Deed of Lease, dated 12 October 1734, was recited in his later Deed of Mortgage, dated 22 May 1753 [Memorial 108203, Book 160, Page 442], by which lease he was demised, by Arthur Frances MEREDYTH of Dollarstown, County Meath, Esq, the Lands of Dardistown (62 acres) and Balfstown (20 acres) in the Barony of Dunboyne and County of Meath, for the term of lives of the said Isaiah YEATES, Elizabeth YEATES his wife, and Richard YEATES their son, and recited yet another Deed of Lease dated 14 January 1747, whereby he was demised an additional 140 acres of the Lands of Balfstown, also by Arthur Francis MEREDITH, for the term of lives of his children James, Isaiah and Mary YEATES, the whole being demised by Isaiah in his 1753 Mortgage to Richard BREWER of the City of Dublin, Gent.

ANCESTORS OF THE IRISH POET, W.B. YEATS.
At first glance, it would appear to me to be highly improbable that any kinship connection might exist linking these above YEATES to the ancestral family of the famous Irish Poet, William Butler YEATS (1865-1939), as follows.
Ezechia YATES; of Firbeck, Yorkshire (West Riding); he was married with issue:
1. Robert YATES, baptized at Firbeck, 29 July 1600.
2. Gervis YATES, baptized at Firbeck, 19 December 1601.
James YATES or YEATES; of Firbeck; Probate, 1661, Will and Bond, York Peculiars (Court of Chancellor of York, with Loughton).
Katherine YEATS or YEATES, ditto, 1679, all ditto.
Gervis YATES was buried at Firbeck, 28 June 1666. Perhaps an intermediary?
Gerves YATES; of Firbeck; possibly, and even probably, related to one or all of the above; he was married (no particulars in surviving Firbeck Registers), with issue:
1. Gerves YATES, baptized at Firbeck, 27 September 1666. Very possibly, and even likely, the next.
Jervis YEATS; widely believed to have had origins in Yorkshire (as appears in numerous biographies of his descendant, the Poet W.B. YEATS); it is said that he arrived in Ireland with the Williamite Army, and if that is so, probably about 1689; after the Battle of the Boyne (1690), he appears to have settled in Dublin, but perhaps not immediately; he was dwelling in St Michan's parish, City of Dublin, in 1699 (a Soldier), and again, same parish, in 1700 (a Pedlar); he prospered, to become an eminent Linen Draper, whose trading area is said to have included Spain, and he was favoured by an Act of Parliament by which he (perhaps with other Merchants) was exempt from certain Taxes; he was admitted to the Merchant's Guild, in Midsummer 1706, by an Act of Parliament.
Gervas YEATS, ".. of Dublin in Ireland," was buried in the Collegiate Church of SS Peter and Paul, Sheffield (now Sheffield Cathedral), 8 March 1712-13 [Register image, and Bishop's Transcripts of Burials, Yorkshire, Findmypast.co.uk] - confirmed as Julian Calendar dating (so this burial took place on that 8th day of March which fell between 31 December 1712 and 25 March 1713); Jervis YEATES, of New Row, Dublin, Merchant, 1713, Will, page 125 [Appendix to the 26th Report of the Deputy Keeper of Public Records in Ireland, page 940]; sadly, no mention of his will appears in Sir William BETHAM's Abstracts; in this will, Jervis is said to have left money to two aunts, Sarah BARNES of Yorkshire and Dorothy WESTNAGE of Turbeck near Sheffield [a copy of this will, not yet sighted by me, was in the possession of his descendant Sarah Ann (Lily) YEATS, about 1900 - if Turbeck happens to be a mis-spelling of Firbeck, which I believe is probably the case (Turbeck does not register as a place in England), and that would appear to make the 1664 Firbeck baptism highly significant]; a Sarah BARNES was buried in the same Cathedral Church of SS Peter and Paul on 21 October 1729, a Widow (possibly the aunt - and if so, Jervis/Gervase may have been visiting her at the time of his death, perhaps having made his will before he left Ireland); until this will is sighted, it cannot be presumed with any confidence that Jervis only made bequests to his two aunts (that information would, I presume, have probably have been singled out in relation to his presumed origins in Yorkshire).
Jervis was married, probably in Dublin, but evidently not by License, to Martha (-?-); her maiden surname has not yet been established; she appears to have survived her husband by many years, and to have continued his business - she was named as the Master in apprenticeship of her son Benjamin at his Admission to the Merchant's Guild, 1738; she was probably [A] below, and if so, her will was dated September 1751, but she was still living in 1754.
Jervis and Martha had issue:
1. Mary YEATES, baptised at St Michan's, Dublin, 13 November 1699, her father a Soldier.
2. John YEATES, baptised at St Michan's, 15 December 1700, his father (Jeuis) a Pedlar.
3. Benjamin YEATES. See [B] below.
4. Eliz YEATES, baptised at St Catherine's, Dublin, 16 April 1710.
[A] Martha YEATES, of the City of Dublin, Widow, 1722; she was named as second party to Deeds of Lease and release, dated 1 and 8 January 1722, by which she was demised, by William HUMBLE of Cork Street in the Liberty of Thomas Court and Donore, County Dublin, a house and parcell of ground on the south side of the road from Crooked Staff to Dolphin's Barn, which he had inherited from his father John HUMBLE (who had a lease of it, dated 10 September 1695, from the Earl of Meath).
Martha YEATS, of the City of Dublin, Widow; her Indenture of Lease, dated 26 May 1744 [Memorial 79221, Book 114, Page 355], by which she demised a parcel of ground with house on the south side of Cork Street, Dublin, to George KING, of Dublin, Currier, the deed witnessed by John ANNESLEY, an apprentice to Benjamin YEATS (her son - see next below).
Martha YEATS, of the City of Dublin, Widow; her Deeds of Lease and Release, dated 2 and 3 September 1751 [Memorial 100029, Book 149, Page 358], citing the Lease of Edward late Earl of Meath dated 10 December 1695 to John HUMBLE, and the Release by which she demised the house and ground on the south side of the road from Crooked Staff to Dolphins Barn, to Thomas GARNER, of the City of Dublin, Merchant, for a term of lives, the third being Thomas YEATES, son of Benjamin YEATES late of New Row, Dublin, Merchant, deceased (her grandson and son - see next below).
The last will and testament of Martha YEATS of the City of Dublin, Widow, dated 27 September 1751, was not formally registered with the Deeds Registry in Dublin until 28 September 1788; by it she appointed her daughter-in-law Hannah YEATS, Widow, as her sole executrix, to have the residue of her personal estate, including ready money, plate, rings and jewels, not otherwise demised in her Deeds of Lease and Release dated 2 and 3 September 1751 [Memorial 100029]. Benjamin YEATS was mentioned in the will, and the contents of it was sworn by Robert TEGART, Robert MOORE and Thomas HARTLEY; the 1788 Registration of it was sworn by Robert TEGART of the City of Waterford, Merchant, and Jonathan HOYLE, of the City of Dublin, Attorney, with the latter delivering the final draft to John MOORE, Esq, Deputy Registrar of Deeds, at or near 12.30 p.m. on 28 February 1788. It is curious that she made no mention of her grandchildren.
Martha Yeates, of the City of Dublin, Widow; her Indented Deed of Lease, dated 25 March 1754 [Memorial 112460], by which she demised the Lease of a Dwelling House, with back side and garden, in Dolphins Barn Lane, between Cork and Brown Streets, City of Dublin, to Thomas WREN, of the City of Dublin, Merchant, formerly enjoyed by Elizabeth MEADE alias - - -, Widow, for a term of lives, at a yearly rent of 28 pounds sterling, the Deed witnessed by her daughter-in-law Hannah BREWER otherwise YEATES, wife of Thomas BREWER, of the City of Dublin, Gent.
Martha YEATES, of the City of Dublin, Widow; her Deed of Assignment, dated 17 May 1754 [Memorial 113074, Book 165, Page 548], citing an earlier Lease dated 7 May 1728 by which she was demised a house in New Row, Dublin, then in her possession, from Hon. Joshua Lord Viscount ALLEN, for 99 years at 30 pounds per annum rental, and which she demised in her 1754 Deed to Thomas BREWER of the City of Dublin, Gent (probably her widowed daughter-in-law's second husband - see next below).
Thomas BREWER, of the parish of Duleek, County Meath, Gent, was married by P.C.I. License dated 23 November 1722, to Rebecca TAYLOR, of the parish of Julianstown Bridge, same County, Spinster; these place names do resonate with other branches of the YEATES family (see above).
A Sarah YEATES was buried at St Catherine's, 20 February 1717, but probably not a daughter of Jervis.
[B] Benjamin YEATES; admitted to membership of the Merchant's Guild, Dublin, and therefor as a Freeman of the City, Midsummer 1738, by birth, and as an apprentice to his mother Martha YEATES, Widow of Jervis; of the City of Dublin, Merchant, and for a time of New Row, City of Dublin; his will, dated 1 July 1750, was proved P.C.I., 8 July 1750, and named his wife Hannah, his sister-in-law Mary WARREN, and his children Thomas, Benjamin and Martha.
Benjamin was of the parish of St Catherine's, Dublin, when he was married by P.C.I. License dated 12 June 1742, to Hanna WARREN, of the parish of St Nicholas Without, Dublin, Spinster [BETHAM's Abstract]; she was married secondly, as Hannah YEATES, of the parish of St Catherine's, Widow, by P.C.I. License dated 2 October 1751, to Thomas BREWER, of the City of Dublin, Brewer [BETHAM]; their Deeds of Lease and Release, dated 26 and 27 January 1770 [Memorial 184576, Book 286, Page 63], as Thomas BREWER of the City of Dublin, Gent, and Hannah BREWER otherwise YEATS otherwise WARREN, of the one part, and naming Hugh WARREN of the City of Dublin, Goldsmith, of the other part.
Benjamin and Hannah had issue:
1. Thomas YEATES; named in his father's will, 1750; named as the third life for the term of the Deed of Release of his grandmother Martha YEATS, 1751 (her de-facto will).
2. Mary YEATES; named in her father's will, 1750.
3. Benjamin YEATES, said to have been born in 1750; named in his father's will, July 1750; Linen Draper in Dublin; he died in 1795; of the City of Dublin, Merchant, when he was married, by P.C.I. License dated 13 August 1773, to Mary BUTLER, of the parish of St Peter's, Dublin, Spinster, the daughter of John BUTLER, of County Kildare, and of the War Office in Dublin (she inherited his estates in Thomastown, County Kildare); Mary YEATS, of William Street, Dublin, Widow and relict of Benjamin YEATS late of the same address, deceased, made a Deed of Indented Articles, dated 11 January 1796 [Memorial 319462], with Nathaniel Edward BUTLER, of the City of Dublin, Linen Draper, and Gerald GEOGHAN also of the City of Dublin, Linen Draper, by which they ".. concluded and agreed together to be and continue co-partners for the improvement of their trade... and mystery of a Linen Draper," each contributing 1,000 pounds sterling, and to which one witness was Theo Butler, of the City of Dublin, Gent; she died in 1834; they had a son:
a. John Butler YEATS, born in Dublin, about 1775; he was admitted to Trinity College, Dublin, as a Pensioner (Mr BARRY), 4 June 1792, aged 16, son of Benjamin, Mercator, born Dublin; B.A. Verne 1797; M.A., he took Holy Orders, and was Rector of Drumcliff, County Sligo, until his death on 2 November 1846; he married Jane TAYLOR, with issue:
i. William YEATS, born at Dublin Castle, 1806. See [C] below.
ii. John YEATS, born in 1808; Surveyor, in County Louth (1834-36) and County Kildare (1836-65); he died on 29 July 1865; he was married in 1842 to his first cousin, Ellen Sophia TERRY.
iii. Thomas YEATES, born at Sligo, about 1810; admitted to Trinity College, Dublin, as a Pensioner (Tutored by his father), 20 October 1831, aged 20; B.A. Vern 1833; M.A. Vern 1840.
iv. Henry YEATS; he died at Newry, 27 November 1861.
v. Ellen YEATS, the eldest daughter; she was married 15 September 11836 to Rev Edward L. ELWOOD
It is possible that this was not his first marriage - a Benjamin YEATES and his wife Sarah had issue:
1. Jeremiah YEATES, baptised at St Catherine's, Dublin, 3 May 1735.
2. Thomas YEATES, baptised ditto, 27 January 1737.
3. Martha YEATES, baptised ditto, 7 November 1739.
Although a Benjamin YEATES had, by his wife Martha, a daughter Martha YEATES, baptised at St Catherine's, 3 October 1769 - so perhaps there were two different Benjamins here?
John Butler Benjamin YEATS was baptised at Irishtown, 18 May 1823, son of George and Sarah YEATS. It is not yet clear who this George YEATS was, or whether he may have been a descendant of Jervis and Martha YEATS.
[C] William Butler YEATS, born in Dublin, 1806; admitted to Trinity College, Dublin, as a Pensioner (Tutored by his father), 20 October 1828, aged 20; B.A. Vern 1833; M.A. Vern 1840; Rector of Tullyish, near Lawrencetown, County Down; he died at the home of his brother-in-law Robert CORBET, Sandymount Castle, Dublin, 26 November 1862; he was married at St Mary's, Donnybrook, Dublin, in November 1835, to Jane Grace CORBET (daughter of William CORBET, of Dublin, Solicitor, and Grace ARMSTRONG); they had issue:
1. John Butler YEATS, born at Tullyish, County Down, 16 March 1839; Law Student, of George Villa, 1865; Barrister, 1866; Portrait Artist; he died in New York, 3 February 1922; of Union Place, Esq, when he was married at the parish church of St John, Sligo, on 10 September 1863, to Susan Mary POLLEXFEN, also of Union Place, daughter of William POLLEXFEN, Merchant, witnessed by W'm MIDDLETON and Tho's YEATS; there is a memorial window in St John's Church Sligo, for William POLLEXFEN, died 12 November 1892, and his wife Elizabeth, who died 2 October 1892; Susan Mary died in London, 3 January 1900, aged 58 - she is commemorated in another window in St John's Church, Sligo, erected by her four children (it records her birth on 13 July 1841); they had issue:

______________________________________________________________________________
ANCESTORS OF THE IRISH POET, W.B. YEATS.
At first glance, it would appear to me to be highly improbable that any kinship connection might exist linking these above YEATES to the ancestral family of the famous Irish Poet, William Butler YEATS (1865-1939), as follows.
Ezechia YATES; of Firbeck, Yorkshire (West Riding); he was married with issue:
1. Robert YATES, baptized at Firbeck, 29 July 1600.
2. Gervis YATES, baptized at Firbeck, 19 December 1601.
James YATES or YEATES; of Firbeck; Probate, 1661, Will and Bond, York Peculiars (Court of Chancellor of York, with Loughton).
Katherine YEATS or YEATES, ditto, 1679, all ditto.
Gervis YATES was buried at Firbeck, 28 June 1666. Perhaps an intermediary?
Gerves YATES; of Firbeck; possibly, and even probably, related to one or all of the above; he was married (no particulars in surviving Firbeck Registers), with issue:
1. Gerves YATES, baptized at Firbeck, 27 September 1666. Very possibly, and even likely, the next.
Jervis YEATS; widely believed to have had origins in Yorkshire (as appears in numerous biographies of his descendant, the Poet W.B. YEATS); it is said that he arrived in Ireland with the Williamite Army, and if that is so, probably about 1689; after the Battle of the Boyne (1690), he appears to have settled in Dublin, but perhaps not immediately; he was dwelling in St Michan's parish, City of Dublin, in 1699 (a Soldier), and again, same parish, in 1700 (a Pedlar); he prospered, to become an eminent Linen Draper, whose trading area is said to have included Spain, and he was favoured by an Act of Parliament by which he (perhaps with other Merchants) was exempt from certain Taxes; he was admitted to the Merchant's Guild, in Midsummer 1706, by an Act of Parliament.
Gervas YEATS, ".. of Dublin in Ireland," was buried in the Collegiate Church of SS Peter and Paul, Sheffield (now Sheffield Cathedral), 8 March 1712-13 [Register image, and Bishop's Transcripts of Burials, Yorkshire, Findmypast.co.uk] - confirmed as Julian Calendar dating (so this burial took place on that 8th day of March which fell between 31 December 1712 and 25 March 1713); Jervis YEATES, of New Row, Dublin, Merchant, 1713, Will, page 125 [Appendix to the 26th Report of the Deputy Keeper of Public Records in Ireland, page 940]; sadly, no mention of his will appears in Sir William BETHAM's Abstracts; in this will, Jervis is said to have left money to two aunts, Sarah BARNES of Yorkshire and Dorothy WESTNAGE of Turbeck near Sheffield [a copy of this will, not yet sighted by me, was in the possession of his descendant Sarah Ann (Lily) YEATS, about 1900 - if Turbeck happens to be a mis-spelling of Firbeck, which I believe is probably the case (Turbeck does not register as a place in England), and that would appear to make the 1664 Firbeck baptism highly significant]; a Sarah BARNES was buried in the same Cathedral Church of SS Peter and Paul on 21 October 1729, a Widow (possibly the aunt - and if so, Jervis/Gervase may have been visiting her at the time of his death, perhaps having made his will before he left Ireland); until this will is sighted, it cannot be presumed with any confidence that Jervis only made bequests to his two aunts (that information would, I presume, have probably have been singled out in relation to his presumed origins in Yorkshire).
Jervis was married, probably in Dublin, but evidently not by License, to Martha (-?-); her maiden surname has not yet been established; she appears to have survived her husband by many years, and to have continued his business - she was named as the Master in apprenticeship of her son Benjamin at his Admission to the Merchant's Guild, 1738; she was probably [A] below, and if so, her will was dated September 1751, but she was still living in 1754.
Jervis and Martha had issue:
1. Mary YEATES, baptised at St Michan's, Dublin, 13 November 1699, her father a Soldier.
2. John YEATES, baptised at St Michan's, 15 December 1700, his father (Jeuis) a Pedlar.
3. Benjamin YEATES. See [B] below.
4. Eliz YEATES, baptised at St Catherine's, Dublin, 16 April 1710.
[A] Martha YEATES, of the City of Dublin, Widow, 1722; she was named as second party to Deeds of Lease and release, dated 1 and 8 January 1722, by which she was demised, by William HUMBLE of Cork Street in the Liberty of Thomas Court and Donore, County Dublin, a house and parcell of ground on the south side of the road from Crooked Staff to Dolphin's Barn, which he had inherited from his father John HUMBLE (who had a lease of it, dated 10 September 1695, from the Earl of Meath).
Martha YEATS, of the City of Dublin, Widow; her Indenture of Lease, dated 26 May 1744 [Memorial 79221, Book 114, Page 355], by which she demised a parcel of ground with house on the south side of Cork Street, Dublin, to George KING, of Dublin, Currier, the deed witnessed by John ANNESLEY, an apprentice to Benjamin YEATS (her son - see next below).
Martha YEATS, of the City of Dublin, Widow; her Deeds of Lease and Release, dated 2 and 3 September 1751 [Memorial 100029, Book 149, Page 358], citing the Lease of Edward late Earl of Meath dated 10 December 1695 to John HUMBLE, and the Release by which she demised the house and ground on the south side of the road from Crooked Staff to Dolphins Barn, to Thomas GARNER, of the City of Dublin, Merchant, for a term of lives, the third being Thomas YEATES, son of Benjamin YEATES late of New Row, Dublin, Merchant, deceased (her grandson and son - see next below).
The last will and testament of Martha YEATS of the City of Dublin, Widow, dated 27 September 1751, was not formally registered with the Deeds Registry in Dublin until 28 September 1788; by it she appointed her daughter-in-law Hannah YEATS, Widow, as her sole executrix, to have the residue of her personal estate, including ready money, plate, rings and jewels, not otherwise demised in her Deeds of Lease and Release dated 2 and 3 September 1751 [Memorial 100029]. Benjamin YEATS was mentioned in the will, and the contents of it was sworn by Robert TEGART, Robert MOORE and Thomas HARTLEY; the 1788 Registration of it was sworn by Robert TEGART of the City of Waterford, Merchant, and Jonathan HOYLE, of the City of Dublin, Attorney, with the latter delivering the final draft to John MOORE, Esq, Deputy Registrar of Deeds, at or near 12.30 p.m. on 28 February 1788. It is curious that she made no mention of her grandchildren.
Martha Yeates, of the City of Dublin, Widow; her Indented Deed of Lease, dated 25 March 1754 [Memorial 112460], by which she demised the Lease of a Dwelling House, with back side and garden, in Dolphins Barn Lane, between Cork and Brown Streets, City of Dublin, to Thomas WREN, of the City of Dublin, Merchant, formerly enjoyed by Elizabeth MEADE alias - - -, Widow, for a term of lives, at a yearly rent of 28 pounds sterling, the Deed witnessed by her daughter-in-law Hannah BREWER otherwise YEATES, wife of Thomas BREWER, of the City of Dublin, Gent.
Martha YEATES, of the City of Dublin, Widow; her Deed of Assignment, dated 17 May 1754 [Memorial 113074, Book 165, Page 548], citing an earlier Lease dated 7 May 1728 by which she was demised a house in New Row, Dublin, then in her possession, from Hon. Joshua Lord Viscount ALLEN, for 99 years at 30 pounds per annum rental, and which she demised in her 1754 Deed to Thomas BREWER of the City of Dublin, Gent (probably her widowed daughter-in-law's second husband - see next below).
Thomas BREWER, of the parish of Duleek, County Meath, Gent, was married by P.C.I. License dated 23 November 1722, to Rebecca TAYLOR, of the parish of Julianstown Bridge, same County, Spinster; these place names do resonate with other branches of the YEATES family (see above).
A Sarah YEATES was buried at St Catherine's, 20 February 1717, but probably not a daughter of Jervis.
[B] Benjamin YEATES; admitted to membership of the Merchant's Guild, Dublin, and therefor as a Freeman of the City, Midsummer 1738, by birth, and as an apprentice to his mother Martha YEATES, Widow of Jervis; of the City of Dublin, Merchant, and for a time of New Row, City of Dublin; his will, dated 1 July 1750, was proved P.C.I., 8 July 1750, and named his wife Hannah, his sister-in-law Mary WARREN, and his children Thomas, Benjamin and Martha.
Benjamin was of the parish of St Catherine's, Dublin, when he was married by P.C.I. License dated 12 June 1742, to Hanna WARREN, of the parish of St Nicholas Without, Dublin, Spinster [BETHAM's Abstract]; she was married secondly, as Hannah YEATES, of the parish of St Catherine's, Widow, by P.C.I. License dated 2 October 1751, to Thomas BREWER, of the City of Dublin, Brewer [BETHAM]; their Deeds of Lease and Release, dated 26 and 27 January 1770 [Memorial 184576, Book 286, Page 63], as Thomas BREWER of the City of Dublin, Gent, and Hannah BREWER otherwise YEATS otherwise WARREN, of the one part, and naming Hugh WARREN of the City of Dublin, Goldsmith, of the other part.
Benjamin and Hannah had issue:
1. Thomas YEATES; named in his father's will, 1750; named as the third life for the term of the Deed of Release of his grandmother Martha YEATS, 1751 (her de-facto will).
2. Mary YEATES; named in her father's will, 1750.
3. Benjamin YEATES, said to have been born in 1750; named in his father's will, July 1750; Linen Draper in Dublin; he died in 1795; of the City of Dublin, Merchant, when he was married, by P.C.I. License dated 13 August 1773, to Mary BUTLER, of the parish of St Peter's, Dublin, Spinster, the daughter of John BUTLER, of County Kildare, and of the War Office in Dublin (she inherited his estates in Thomastown, County Kildare); Mary YEATS, of William Street, Dublin, Widow and relict of Benjamin YEATS late of the same address, deceased, made a Deed of Indented Articles, dated 11 January 1796 [Memorial 319462], with Nathaniel Edward BUTLER, of the City of Dublin, Linen Draper, and Gerald GEOGHAN also of the City of Dublin, Linen Draper, by which they ".. concluded and agreed together to be and continue co-partners for the improvement of their trade... and mystery of a Linen Draper," each contributing 1,000 pounds sterling, and to which one witness was Theo Butler, of the City of Dublin, Gent; she died in 1834; they had a son:
a. John Butler YEATS, born in Dublin, about 1775; he was admitted to Trinity College, Dublin, as a Pensioner (Mr BARRY), 4 June 1792, aged 16, son of Benjamin, Mercator, born Dublin; B.A. Verne 1797; M.A., he took Holy Orders, and was Rector of Drumcliff, County Sligo, until his death on 2 November 1846; he married Jane TAYLOR, with issue:
i. William YEATS, born at Dublin Castle, 1806. See [C] below.
ii. John YEATS, born in 1808; Surveyor, in County Louth (1834-36) and County Kildare (1836-65); he died on 29 July 1865; he was married in 1842 to his first cousin, Ellen Sophia TERRY.

iv. Henry YEATS; he died at Newry, 27 November 1861.
v. Ellen YEATS, the eldest daughter; she was married 15 September 11836 to Rev Edward L. ELWOOD
It is possible that this was not his first marriage - a Benjamin YEATES and his wife Sarah had issue:
1. Jeremiah YEATES, baptised at St Catherine's, Dublin, 3 May 1735.
2. Thomas YEATES, baptised ditto, 27 January 1737.
3. Martha YEATES, baptised ditto, 7 November 1739.
Although a Benjamin YEATES had, by his wife Martha, a daughter Martha YEATES, baptised at St Catherine's, 3 October 1769 - so perhaps there were two different Benjamins here?
John Butler Benjamin YEATS was baptised at Irishtown, 18 May 1823, son of George and Sarah YEATS. It is not yet clear who this George YEATS was, or whether he may have been a descendant of Jervis and Martha YEATS.
[C] William Butler YEATS, born in Dublin, 1806; admitted to Trinity College, Dublin, as a Pensioner (Tutored by his father), 20 October 1828, aged 20; B.A. Vern 1833; M.A. Vern 1840; Rector of Tullyish, near Lawrencetown, County Down; he died at the home of his brother-in-law Robert CORBET, Sandymount Castle, Dublin, 26 November 1862; he was married at St Mary's, Donnybrook, Dublin, in November 1835, to Jane Grace CORBET (daughter of William CORBET, of Dublin, Solicitor, and Grace ARMSTRONG); they had issue:
