Henry Yeo (1829–1910, son of Thomas Yeo and Mary Elliot) was baptised at Milton Damerel in north Devon and died in Camborne in west Cornwall. He married Jane Dunn at Milton Damerel in 1851; they had three children there:
– Thirza Yeo (1851–1923, married William Coombes)

and nine more children after moving to Camborne:

Henry and Jane are recorded in Camborne in the 1871 census (Henry was not a miner, as might be expected in the area, but a farm labourer). Henry’s occupation later changed, as the 1891 census for Camborne records him and two of his sons as tin miners.

– Charles Yeo (1895–1915 [note 3], married Edith Williams, daughter Caroline Yeo born 1915)
– Laura Yeo (born 1897)
– Thomas Henry Yeo (see below)
– Edith Jane (born 1906).
Samuel Yeo (born 1868, son of Henry Yeo and Jane Dunn) married Sarah Glanville in 1892. They had eight children before emigrating to Ontario, where they both died in 1943 [note 4]:
– George Henry Yeo (1892–1967, married Eliza Copelin, died in Michigan)

– Samuel John Yeo (1901–1955, married Winifred Phillips)
– Annie Jane Yeo (born 1904)
– Gladys Yeo (born 1905)
– William Yeo (born 1908).
Lewis Yeo (1869–1956 [note 5], son of Henry Yeo and Jane Dunn) married Eliza Craze. They had eight children:

Thomas Henry Yeo (1903–1937, son of Elias Yeo and Esther Ann Williams) was born in Camborne. He married Gladys Roberts in 1921; they had three children:
– Sylvia Mary Yeo (born 1922, married Delmore Williams)
– Gwendoline Yeo (born 1925, married Thomas Kane)
– Walter John Yeo (born 1929).

Notes
1. Frederick died in Burma while serving there with the Duke of Cornwall’s Light Infantry.
2. Elias and Lucy do not appear to have married until 1888; Lucy died the following year at the age of 21, apparently from complications following childbirth.
3. Charles died at Hyderabad in India in 1915 while serving with the Duke of Cornwall’s Light Infantry. He is commemorated on the war memorial at Karachi (now in Pakistan).
4. Samuel died at St Thomas. His death certificate shows several incorrect details, presumably because his daughter Annie (named on the certificate) gave them inaccurately: his birthplace is shown as Devon rather than Cornwall, his late wife as Sarah Jane rather than Sarah, and his father as John rather than Henry. Annie was also named on her mother’s death certificate from earlier the same year; she was unmarried and gave the same address as her parents.
5. Also recorded as Louis.
