Notes
1. Isaac’s mother Johanna Yeo was unmarried. Her parents were Isaac Yeo and Mary Hammett.
2. Living in Sidbury 1901 – see Yoe in the 1901 census.
3. The 1911 census for 50 Stanhope Gardens in the Haringay area of north London lists 50-year-old Frederick Eastman Yeo, a harness maker born in Okehampton. In his household are his wife Edith Mary Yeo (age 45, born in Kent), his son Ernest Bickerton Yeo (age 2) and his mother-in-law Mary Ann Howe (age 80).
4. Ernest and Kathleen married at the Register Office in Islington in 1947. Their marriage certificate records Ernest as a 38-year-old bachelor, a refrigerator engineer, son of Frederick Eastman Yeo deceased. Kathleen, a 44-year-old widow, is recorded as ‘Kathleen Caroline Yeo otherwise Knight’, daughter of Thomas Keating deceased. No previous marriage has been found for her, and there appears to be no record of her birth as Kathleen Caroline Keating.
