The 1841 census return for the parish of St Steven, a short distance north of Launceston, records shoemaker Thomas Yeo [note 1] with his wife Elizabeth and his son Charles.
Thomas took on at least one apprentice, as the 1841 census return also lists apprentice shoemaker John Yeo Way – who was baptised at Werrington in 1822 to parents John and Mary Yeo [note 2]. After this one census appearance, there is no other reference to John, suggesting that his death was registered under a different name or that he emigrated.

Notes
1. Son of Thomas Yeo and Elizabeth Mason. Elizabeth (née Lillycrap) was his second wife.
2. Sheila Yeo recorded John as a son of Mary Yeo, daughter of Thomas Yeo and Elizabeth Mason, but this does not agree with his baptism record. Perhaps the baptism record is inaccurate – if John Yeo Way was Mary Yeo’s son he would have been apprenticed to his uncle.
