John Yeo was baptised at Kilkhampton in 1798. He married Ann Weare at the parish church in Kilkhampton in 1838, shortly after the start of civil registration. The 1851 census records him as a boot maker.
Ann had been born Ann Barrett at Morwenstow about 1799 [note 1] and had previously married John Weare at Kilkhampton in 1826. When her marriage to John Yeo was registered, she was recorded as Ann Wheare Barrett.
John and Ann had five children [note 2]:
– Elizabeth Yeo (born c1838)
– John Yeo (born c1839, died as an infant)
– Emma Yeo (baptised 1841 at Kilkhampton, died as an infant)
– John Gregory Yeo (baptised 1842 at Kilkhampton)
– Emma Yeo (baptised 1845 at Kilkhampton).
John Yeo had died by 1865 [note 3] and Ann continued to live in Kilkhampton; the 1881 census records her as a widow. She appears not to have re-married, but she had four further children [note 2]:
– William Henry Yeo (baptised 1862 at Kilkhampton)
– Thomas Yeo (baptised 1865 at Kilkhampton)
– Mary Jane Yeo (baptised 1865 at Kilkhampton age 2)
– Charlie Yeo (baptised 1869 at Kilkhampton).
