This couple married by licence at Bridgwater in 1807. This line has been researched by David Yaw and Jennifer Kevern.
William, who later worked as hat maker, was originally from South Tawton. He had been baptised there in 1759, the fourth of six children of Robert Yeo and Jane Hurchill.
William and Mary had children William, Robert, James and Jane Yeo, who died young and were buried at Pawlett between 1808 and 1812. They later baptised three children at Bridgwater:
– George Yeo (1813–1871, married Hannah Pearce)
– Maria Yeo (1816–1898, married Charles Billing)
– Mary Ann Yeo (1822–1830).
William died in 1824 and was buried at Bridgwater. The following year, Mary married Thomas Vearncombe; she died in 1860 at the age of 66 [note 1].
