Notes
1. Two other boys called William Yeo were baptised at Inwardleigh in 1836, so it is not surprising that they have been confused with each other. One was William’s first cousin, son of John Yeo and Jane Woolland. The other was the third son of William Yeo and Mary Ann Spear.
2. Sheila Yeo’s research into this family incuded an additional daughter Emmeline Bessy Yeo born three years before William and Mary Ann married.
3. Surname also recorded as Fowler – was she previously married?
