Notes
1. Sheila Yeo investigated George Yeo: she suspected but was unable to confirm that he was a son of John Yeo and Elizabeth Cawsey, who married at Holsworthy in 1762 and are not yet included in a pedigree. Reg Walter suggested that George might have been from Lansallos, but admitted that the evidence was unconvincing: a George Yeo was baptised at Lansallos in 1781 to parents John Yeo and Elizabeth Wallish (who should link to Philip Yeo and Margaret Bond of North Tamerton, a family that has not been fully documented).
2. Ann, George, William and Jane were baptised at Morice Street Wesleyan chapel, Devonport. The other children were baptised at the parish church in Stoke Damerel.
3. The 1911 census records Ann as a 90-year-old widow, living with her married daughter Emma Tebbutt in Polebrook, Northamptonshire.
4. Joseph re-married after Leah’s death.
5. 1869–1949, died in Devon.
