Notes
1. A pedigree sent to Sheila Yeo by Alan Richards in 1996 records includes this couple and their marriage at Tintagel in 1711 [notes 1, 2]. Alan was trying to establish a line of descent to Richard Yeo and Rosina Victor, and this proved to be correct.
2. The Phillimore transcription of the marriage records them as Isaac Yoe and Mary Corney.
3. Isaac was buried at Lanteglos in 1762, surviving Mary by seven years.
4. The John Yeo who married Eleanor May at Blisland in 1813 might have been Mary’s grandson. Further research is required.
