2. Year and place from a pedigree by Sheila Yeo. Baptism record not found.
3. List of children from research by Sheila Yeo. The three shown with years of birth have corresponding entries in the Stoke Damerel baptisms register; the other six baptisms have not been confirmed against available records. Some researchers have incorrectly assigned an additional son William Amos Yeo to this family.
