Notes
1. William was baptised at St Decuman, Watchet in 1737.
2. Robert was recorded as a bachelor when he married Sarah. Some researchers show a previous marriage to Grace Bryant, which overlooks the record of Robert’s burial at Clovelly in 1847 and would make his marriage to Sarah bigamous.
3. Sarah appears to have been under 21, in which case she would have needed parental consent to marry.
4. Baptised as Sarah Yeo. She was executor for her unmarried sister Louisa Yeo in 1881.
