My paternal gggrandfather John Yarwood was born in Burslem, Staffs about 1823. He was a potter and moved to Stockton on Tees, County Durham in 1840's. His father was Timothy Yarwood a shoemaker and I think his mother was possibly Louisa Holland. According to the IGI they married in Stoke on Trent.
I don't know if this is the same family as yours but it seems an odd coincidence that we both have Yarwoods born in Burslem. I wonder if mine moved north because he had family in Newcastle!
Look forward to hearing from you.
