Notes
1. William had eight children from his 1865 marriage to Caroline Wyand (including Herbert William Yeo, 1890–1950) and three children from his 1893 marriage to Elizabeth Matilda Wyand.
2. Mary Jane did not marry; she died in Prince Edward Island in 1915. Some researchers have confused her with a Mary Jane Yeo (daughter of John Yeo and Mary Ann Shortridge) who was born in Ontario in 1843 and married John Henry Conklin there in 1871.
3. Also recorded as Thomas Hardy Yeo.
