Richard Yielding,
or Yeilding.
See
Wikitree.
Spelling of surname varies.
He signs
"Richard Yeilding" on
[Deed of July 1757].
Though his will and his wife's will appear to use "Yielding".
He was from
Tralee, Co.Kerry.
He is one of the "lives" in
[Deed of 1728].
Lived in Dublin:
He was admitted to
King's Inns, Dublin,
as an Exchequer Attorney, c.1734.
He is described as
Richard Yielding of
Dublin
in
[Deed of 1734]
about his mother's inheritance.
He is Richard Yielding, of Dublin, attorney of the Exchequer Court, who is
party to
[Exchequer Bill of 1736]
with brother
James.
This was a dispute over their
father's property at Deelis.
He
mar pre-1738 to Millicent ----
[or many other spellings,
must be born c.1720].
They had children 1738 to 1763, so she must have been quite young at marriage.
We do not know her surname.
She may be Millicent Warner, dau of
Simon Warner, Vicar of Ardcanny, Co.Limerick.
Some sites have her as "Millicent Agnes Studdert" but that must be confusion with
Richard's nephew
Richard Yielding who mar Studdert in 1766.
Spelling of first name:
The baptisms of her children show many spellings of her first name.
Son's bapt 1741 shows "Mellisent".
Dau's bapt 1742 suggests "Millisent".
Children's baptisms in Rathkeale show "Mellecent" and "Mellicent" and "Melecent" and "Melicent".
In other records, she is "Mellisent" in [Deed of 1743].
"Mellicent"
in [Deed of 1797].
"Melicent" in will.
The standard spelling of her daughter is "Millicent"
so we go with that for the mother too.
They lived in Dublin for a time.
