Notes
1. 1827–1905, baptised at Swimbridge.
2. The 1901 census records the family at 3 Clarendon Street, Birkenhead: William is a 49-year-old domestic gardener whose birthplace is given as South Molton. Recorded with him is his 72-year-old widowed mother Mary Yeo – who perhaps was looking after William’s children Susan (11), Herbert (9) and Elizabeth (6).
3. The family is still at 3 Clarendon Street in 1911: the census lists William with his children Susan, Herbert and Elizabeth. His mother Mary Yeo had died in 1904.
