Notes
1. Joseph was baptised as Joseph Yea, a ‘base child’ – Mary’s husband Nicholas Yea had died in 1784. Lucy was baptised in 1785 in the Bristol parish of St Mary Redcliffe to parents Edward and Mary Butler. See the researched pedigree Ancestors and Descendants of Robert Yeaw and Joan Treble by Mike Darch and David Yaw.
2. One of these sons died before his second birthday, as Carole Harkin pointed out in an email to Sheila Yeo in 2003. The parish register for St Mary Redcliffe records the burial in 1820 of ‘Joseph Yeo of Colston Street Bedminster age 21 months’ but the wording is incorrect as Joseph lived until 1871. The age of this child is a fit for Joseph’s brother George Lackland Yeo and should have read ‘George Lackland Yeo son of Joseph Yeo of Colston Street Bedminster age 21 months’.
