Notes
1. Living in Yeampton 1901 (see Yoe in the 1901 census) and in Plymouth 1921.
2. There is a connection through Richard Yeo’s mother to the Saunders family, who were shoemakers in Stratton. Sheila looked into Richard and Elizabeth for a correspondent in 2003. They also featured in a pedigree drawn up by Frederick George Congdon, who emigrated to Australia in the late 19th century. Frederick’s mother’s surname was Penfound and seems to have been related to Elizabeth.
3. Can anyone identify her?
