German rope maker Augustus Frederick Hanewinkel (1861–1904) married Alice Louisa Yeo (1848–1915) at the church of St Stephen the Martyr, Edge Hill, Liverpool on 30 June 1873. The marriage was registered in the West Derby registration district in the second quarter of the year.
Shortly after Alice’s death on 20 March 1915, the family changed its surname from Hanewinkel to Armstrong.
Alice had been baptised at the parish church of St Martin, in Liverpool on 22 October 1848, but was from a north Devon family. Her eight children included Alice Yeo Armstrong (1880–1982).

A correspondent has kindly done this, and has sent us a copy of the marriage certificate of Alice Louisa Yeo’s parents. John Yeo (1824–1863) and Sarah Jopson (1824–1897) married at the parish church in Walton-on-the-Hill, Liverpool on 25 December 1845.

She had been baptised in the same church on 21 June 1824 to parents Robert Jopson and Alice Rigby.
