William Thomas Yeo (1882–1965) was born at St Germans to parents John Yeo and Eleanor Mary Quant. The 1901 census records the family at Higher Trenode, Morval. William has an older sister Emily Yeo, who is working as a domestic servant.
William married Ellen Amelia Mutton [note 1] and they emigrated to the United States. Their 1911 immigration record from Ellis Island shows their home as Trenode, St Germans, and that they had sailed from Southampton on the SS Adriatic. They arrived on 13 April. William is detailed on the passenger list as a 28-year-old carpenter and his destination as New York. With him is his wife Ellen Amelia Yeo, age 27.
William and Ellen moved to California [note 2], where they had five children:
– Dorothy Ellen Yeo (1913–1998, married Thomas Perkins)
