Notes
1. Surname also recorded as Channons, a spelling reflected in the second name of their son John.
2. Edwin’s birth was not registered. Some researchers have confused him with his cousin Edwin Philip Yeo, who was born six years earlier to John Channons Yeo and Sarah Ann Stibbs.
3. Thomas trained as a teacher at Cheltenham Training College. He was headmaster of Hearnville Road School, Balham from 1905 to 1906 and headmaster of Wickham Lane School, Woolwich from 1906 to 1920. He died in Orpington, Kent.
4. Marriage registered at Bromley in the third quarter of the year.
5. Elsie trained as a teacher, and was headmistress of Watermoor Church of England School in Cirencester from 1934. Her father-in-law Thomas John Yeo was also a teacher: the 1911 census for Plumstead records him as a head teacher at a London County Council school.
