Leonard Yeo Provo

Margaret Yeo – a great granddaughter of Leonard Yeo and Margaret Grylls of North Petherwin – married Richard Provo at Stoke Damerel in 1778.

Richard and Margaret had a son Leonard Yeo Provo, who became an ironmonger in Newton Abbot. A licence was issued in December 1838 for him to marry Anne Emily Bartlett (also referred to as Ann Emily Jane Bartlett) of the Plymouth parish of St Andrew.

Leonard in turn had a son Leonard Yeo Provo, who emigrated to Australia and died at Geelong, Victoria in 1875.
