Notes
1. Mary Yeo (1798–1876, daughter of James Yeo and Elizabeth Chapple) married Christopher Antisell. Christopher was buried in Swimbridge in 1868, aged 70.
2. Christopher appears to have lived with his grandparents James Yeo and Elizabeth Chapple after his parents emigrated. The 1841 census records him in Swimbridge with them.
