Notes
1. John is recorded as John Stevens Yeo in his obituary published in the South Australia Register on 31 May 1875.
2. A pedigree by Sheila Yeo included a fourth son Benjamin Yeo (born 1850), but there does not appear to be a supporting birth registration, baptism or census record.
3. A pedigree by Sheila Yeo incorrectly recorded Amelia’s married surname as Clarke, an error that some researchers perpetuated by copying it from her web site.
