Notes
1. John has been confused by some researchers with the John Yeo born in 1871 to parents John Yeo and Elizabeth Watkins Blatchford, who did not survive infancy.
2. Sheila Yeo researched William’s service in the Navy.
3. Sheila Yeo carried out extensive research into the Keall family.
4. Married at Tormoham parish church in 1931. Edward was a bachelor, a lorry driver, and Emily was a spinster. This marriage and the rest of this line of descent require further investigation.
