Sheila drafted a pedigree in 2002 showing that Richard Yeo [note 1] married twice. The details require further research.
Richard married Jane Marshall at the parish church of St Petroc, Bodmin in 1837. Fourteen years later, the 1851 census for Bodmin records him as a 39-year-old horse keeper; listed with Richard are his 33-year-old wife Jane and his children John P. Yeo (age 12), Elizabeth A. Yeo (7) and Richard Yeo (5).
There were nine children from Richard and Jane’s marriage:
– John Palmer Yeo (1838–1905, married Mary Ann Hambly, four children including John Palmer Yeo, born 1885 at Illogan)
– William Yeo (born 1840)
– Elizabeth Ann Yeo (born 1843)
– Richard Palmer Yeo (see below)
– Mary Jane Yeo (born 1848)
– William Henry Yeo (born 1851, married Esther Tregoning Keast, two daughters?)
– Thomas Yeo (born 1854, married Caroline Loveday Hore) [note 2]
– George Yeo (born 1856)
– Charles Yeo (see below).
Jane died in 1860 [note 3]. Richard married Elizabeth Billing Hoskin in 1865; they had a son:
– George Yeo (born 1871).
Richard Palmer Yeo (born 1845, son of Richard Yeo and Jane Marshall) moved to London, where he married Ellen Elizabeth Thompson at the parish church of the Holy Trinity, Lambeth in 1867. They had six children:
– William George Yeo (1869–1941, married Nellie Hardy)
– Florence Yeo (born 1872 in Devon)
– Alfred Edward Yeo (1870–1922, married Emma Maude Smith)
– Jane Yeo (born 1877 in Essex)
– Percy Yeo (born 1881 in Northamptonshire)
– Mabel Evelyn Yeo (born 1886 in Devon).
The 1881 census records Richard and Ellen in Brigstock, Northamptonshire [note 4]. Ellen died in 1888 and Richard re-married the following year. There were four further children from his second marriage, to Lucy Celia Jenkins:
– Agnes Elsie Yeo (born 1890 in Cornwall)
– Violet Kathleen Yeo (born 1891 in Leicestershire)
– Annie Emily Yeo (born 1894 in Shropshire)
– Richard Alexander Yeo (1895–1970).
Charles Yeo (1858–1931, son of Richard Yeo and Jane Marshall) married Grace Pooley at Helston in 1897. They had a son and a daughter:
– Charley Yeo (1898–1968, married Florence Harriet Broad)
– Grace May Yeo (born 1900).

Notes
1. 1809–1899, son of John and Elizabeth Yeo.
2. Daughters Mary Jane Yeo (1884–1896, known as Polly) and Florence Alice Yeo (born 1888). The 1891 census for Bodmin records 36-year-old Thomas Yeo as a dealer in horses – listed with him are 33-year-old wife Caroline L. Yeo, his children Polly (age 9) and Alice (3), his brother Charles Yeo (32) and servant Martin Richards, who was most likely helping Thomas with his business.
3. Was Jane Marshall really the mother of two sons with Palmer as a second forename?
4. They are living at 77 Lynden Road. 35-year-old Richard is working as a ‘hunterman’, his wife Ellen is 33 and they have three children: William (age 12), Albert (age 10) and an as yet unnamed one-month old son (presumably Percy).
