CONTEXT
Administrative and biographical history: John Robert Taylor began a printing business in Risca, Monmouthshire, in 1870. This was taken over in 1878 by his assistant Thomas Yendall ([1855]-1916), becoming a family limited company in 1911. He was eventually succeeded by his sons Tom Edward (Ted) Yendall (d. 1961) and Ralph Yendall (d. 1953) and then by Ted's son, Jack Yendall. In 1925 the company began the manufacture of 'Riscatype' and in 1935 abandoned printing for typefounding. The Starling Press had been founded in Risca in 1946 by C. J. Starling and became a limited company in 1951. It was taken over by Yendall & Co. in 1958. In 1984 Yendall & Co. went into voluntary liquidation while the Staring Press was bought by a group of former employees. F. E. A. Yates was Director of Yendall & Co., 1961-1984, and Managing Director and Publisher-in-Chief of the Starling Press, 1963-1984. Yendall & Co. began publication of the weekly Risca and Crosskeys Advertiser in 1923, with publication continuing until 1934. It was taken over by the Risca Printing Works, 1934-1939, and by the Starling Press, 1951-1960. It became the Risca and Blackwood Advertiser in 1960 and ceased publication in 1971. The Starling Press produced local history publications, 1969-1984."

What do you think Pamela.......... can you remember if your cousin had a middle name?

If you think this could be her go to freebmd, this is a free site that does births, deaths and marriages from 1837 upto around 1950.... they are still adding more.

If you then type in Starling for the surname and add Morris for the mothers maiden name you will see that in 1946 she had twin daughters.


If you get stuck let me know and I'll help you.

thankyou this looks very promising if you could find where they lived would be very grateful

Hi Pamela,

Unfortunately I wouldn't be able to find were they lived, there are no census available after 1911 due to the 100 year privacy rule.

But you maybe ale to find an address out for 1946 from the twins birth certificate, you can order these on-line from the general registrar.
