This couple married at Pikes Hill Wesleyan Methodist Chapel, Falmouth in 1913 [note 1]. Charles was a 63-year-old widower; his occupation recorded as ‘grocer etc.’, his father as miller John Ripper and his place of residence as Yeovil; he had previously married Arabella Robbins in 1879. Sarah Jane was a 48-year-old widow living in Falmouth, daughter of carpenter John Whitford; she had previously married Frederick Charles Yeo [note 2] .
Frederick Charles Yeo and Sarah Jane Whitford emigrated to South Africa shortly after their marriage in 1895, and they had a son Frederick John Yeo (see below) in South Africa the following year. Three years later, Frederick Charles Yeo died; his widow and son appear to have returned to Cornwall soon afterwards. Sarah Jane re-married, and lived until 1944.
Frederick John Yeo (1896–1987, son of Frederick Charles Yeo and Sarah Jane Whitford) married Dora Adelaide Hoskin in 1920 [note 3]. They had two children:
– Bernard Frederick Yeo (1921–2003, married Marion Garforth in Yorkshire in 1947)
– Phyllis Mary Yeo (1927–2007, married William Albert A’Bear).
