Notes
1. Alexandria’s age was shown as 28. Her name has been recorded in different forms in other records, which also give varying versions of her age. She is recorded as Alexandra Yeo in the 1901 census, age 38. When she died in 1940 her death was recorded as Ellen Alexandra Yeo and her age as 77: a good match for the date of birth shown in the 1939 Register (7 March 1863); if correct, this would make her 16 rather than 28 when she married – she would have needed parental permission. No baptism or birth registration has been found to confirm her age.
