The 1911 census for England and Wales was taken on 2 April; it differs from previous censuses in that it was completed by the householder rather than by a visiting enumerator. There are 2636 records for Yeo and variant surnames [notes 1, 2]. The census can be searched at Ancestry or FindMyPast. A subscription is required, and images of household returns can be viewed. There is a facility to report transcription errors.
A census was taken in Scotland on the same date. There are 6 records for Yeo, 5 records for Yea and 6 records for Yaw [note 3]. The census can be searched at Scotland’s People.
A census was taken in Ireland on the same date. There are 2 records for Yeo and 10 records for Yaw. The census can be searched at the Irish National Archives.
