Notes
1. The return is signed ‘Margaret Buckley for T. Yeo’ and appears to have been completed by her. This contravenes the requirement for the return to be completed by the householder – perhaps Thomas was not literate. The ages of Thomas’s three children are not recorded accurately.
2. The presence of a stepdaughter is an indication that Thomas’s wife Mary was previously married – she had married Edward Buckley in 1893. Did Margaret later take the surname Yeo?
3. Thomas Yeo senior was a grandson of Thomas Yeo and Jane Radcliff.
4. Mary’s birth was not registered, and no death or re-marriage has been found for her. Her husband Frederick died in Canada in 1959.
