Edward Roe Yeo

Edward Roe Yeo[lower-alpha 1] (3 July 1742 – 23 December 1782) was a British Member of Parliament.

He was the only son of George Yeo of Huish, Devon by his wife Ann Beresford. Educated at Eton College 1758–60, and at Exeter College, Oxford 1761, he trained as a lawyer in the Middle Temple, 1751.[1]

He was twice Member of Parliament for Coventry, 1774–1780 and from 27 February 1781 to 23 December 1782 (his death), though there is no record of him having spoken in Parliament.[1]

He died unmarried on 23 December 1782,[1] and was the last in the line of Yeo of Huish.[3]

gollark: <@113673208296636420> I mean, if you want a rough explanation of the functioning of it:- pages are fetched from their server- pages are parsed for text content/links in them- links are added to the crawl queue- the crawler bit goes through *those* pages if they're on a whitelisted domain- the text content is converted into tokens, and the frequency is counted, then divided by the total tokens on a page (this is "weight")- the tokens in each page are stored in the DATABASE™ (as well as the other stuff)- when a search is run, it finds any page containing the tokens in the search, and they're sorted by weight of each token within them times the frequency of that token in the DATABASE™
gollark: What do you mean?
