The 1891 census for 32 Butterfield Street in the Everton area of Liverpool records Henry Yeo and his family. His age is given as 30, his occupation as insurance agent and his birthplace as Braunton, Devon. Listed with Henry are his wife Mary (age 30, born at Landkey) and five children, all born in Liverpool: Thomas H. (age 9), Frederick J. (8), George F. (6), Selina K. (4) and James (1). Also in the household are lodgers Mary Smith and Sophia Smith.
By the 1901 census, the family has moved a short distance to 95 Salisbury Road and additional children Edith A. (8) and Gertrude J. (5) are recorded. Henry’s occupation is given as coal dealer; perhaps the family is now more affluent, as no lodgers are shown.
A third occupation for Henry Yeo is recorded on his 1889 marriage certificate: he described as a journalist and his place of residence is given as Stockport.
