Canadian census records include 50-year-old John Yeo, who is listed in the 1901 census for Toronto. With him are his wife Elizabeth K. Yeo (age 52) and son George P. Yeo (age 17).
John Yeo, son of John Yeo and Elizabeth Batstone, was born at Dawlish in 1851. He was living at Plumstead in Kent when he married Elizabeth Kate Maclean [note 1] in Devon in 1883. They appear to have lived for a while Kent before emigrating to Canada, as their son George Percy Yeo (see below) was born at Plumstead. John died in Toronto in 1930; Elizabeth died there in 1935.
George Percy Yeo (1889–1972, son of John Yeo and Elizabeth Kate Maclean) emigrated to Canada with his parents. He married Irish emigrant Jean McAlpine Jackson in 1913 in Toronto. Their two children were both born in Toronto:
– Nora Elsie Yeo (born 1914)
– John Gordon Yeo (1919–1984, married Kathleen Mary Cooper 1945 in England).

Note
1. Elizabeth’s surname is from her 1883 marriage certificate, which records her father as Thomas Maclean. On her 1935 death certificate, her father’s surname is recorded as McCullough (which is likely to be an error).
