John Yeo was baptised at Kilkhampton in 1798 to parents Philip Yeo and Elizabeth Hallett. He married Ann Weare at the parish church in Kilkhampton in 1838 [note 1], shortly after the start of civil registration. The 1851 census records him as a boot maker.
Ann had been baptised Ann Barrett at Morwenstow about 1799 [note 2] and had previously married John Weare at Kilkhampton in 1826.
John and Ann had seven children at Kilkhampton [note 4]:
– Elizabeth Ann Yeo (baptised 1835)
– Elizabeth Ann Yeo (1840–1846)
– John Yeo (1839–1839)
– Emma Yeo (1841–1841)
– John Gregory Yeo (1842–1923)
– Emma Yeo (born 1844)
– unnamed daughter (1847–1847).
John Yeo had died by about 1860 [note 4] and Ann continued to live in Kilkhampton; the 1881 census records her as a widow and she appears not to have re-married. Ann had four further children at Kilkhampton [note 3]:
– William Henry Yeo (baptised 1862)
– Mary Jane Yeo (born 1863)
– Thomas Yeo (born 1864)
– Charlie Yeo (baptised 1869).
