Notes
1. Ann was a daughter of Thomas Yeo and Ann Cudmore of Great Torrington.
2. Some researchers show George and Margery as having emigrated to the United States, which seems unlikely – George’s death was registered in Devon in 1874.
3. After John Yeo’s death, Grace married Horace Day Bligh. She has been confused by some researchers with the Grace Glover who married Thomas Yeo in 1853.
