John Gist and Elizabeth Yeo

The parish register for Stratton in north Cornwall records the marriage of this couple in 1785. They were married by banns and were both from Stratton. John signed his name and Elizabeth made her mark.

Several researchers have tried to establish Elizabeth’s line of descent, but without success.

An Elizabeth Yeo, baptised at Stratton in 1762 to parents John Yeo and Elizabeth Dennis, is of the right age and certainly worth considering. Her grandparents were John Yeo and Grace Payne (married at Stratton in 1739) and her great grandparents were John Yeo and Margaret Gist (married at Stratton in 1717).
