Notes
1. William was baptised at North Tamerton in 1722 to parents Philip Yeo and Margaret Bond; Bridget was baptised at Poughill near Bude in 1725. There appears to be no record of their marriage.
2. We hold a detailed pedigree of William and Catherine’s family, compiled in the 1980s by a correspondent of Sheila Yeo, but there are unresolved questions. Why are there no records of daughters? How did their sons come to marry and settle at widely differing locations? Why is there no record of any of the members of the family emigrating?
3. Catherine’s son William Yeo Martin married his first cousin Bridget Yeo Johns, daughter of Catherine’s sister Bridget.
4. James was buried in the parish churchyard at Padstow. His headstone bears an incorrect date for his death.
5. Married at Padstow in 1858. John later married Emma Yeo in 1881.
