Notes
1. See also Malmesbury and Christian Malford.
2. Mary’s surname has not been identified. Her husband Joseph Yeo and her son Joseph Yeo both died in early 1861, before the census was taken.
3. Other researchers have listed children Henry, Mary (married Edward Lake), Ellen and Jane, but only Joseph can be verified from birth and census records.
4. Marriage registered at Bethnal Green in the first quarter of the year.
5. Jemima’s forename requires confirmation. She appears to have been baptised as Amy Yeo.
