Sheila researched this couple for correspondent Nicola Ironside in 2010 but we are looking into their family again.
Walter Herbert Yeo (1843–1926) and Mary Ann Brooks (1851–1916) married at Bridgwater in 1855. Walter was a son of George Yeo and Hannah Pierce.
Walter, a house painter, and Mary Ann soon moved to north London, to live in Monsell Road, Highbury. They births of their eleven children were all registered at Islington:
_ Agnes Maria Yeo (1870–1874)
– Eliza Hannah Yeo (1871–1964, married Thomas Cambridge Foreman) [note 1]
– Mary Mabel Yeo (1873–1963)
– Agnes Martha Yeo (1875–1923, married Edward Capron)
– George William Yeo
– Priscilla Ada Yeo (1877–1883)
– Walter Herbert Yeo (born 1879, married Jane Attwell)
– Ruth Anna Yeo (1881–1950, married William John Brown)
– Henry Thomas Yeo (1883–1884)
– Priscilla Ada Yeo (born 1884, married Evan Francis).
Walter and Mary then returned to Somerset with some of their children. They had three further children, whose births were registered at Bridgwater:
– Henry Thomas Yeo (born 1887)
– Daisy Rose Yeo (1891–1987) [note 2]
– May Edith Yeo (1893–1968, married Reginald James Slocumbe in 1919).

Notes
1. The marriage is recorded in the Dorchester registration district in the third quarter of 1897. There does not appear to be a Church of England record of the marriage, so was it a Catholic or nonconformist ceremony or did they marry at the register office in Dorchester?
2. Daisy worked as a secretary and lived to the age of 95. The 1939 Register records her as single and living in Southampton.
