Hi, Benjamin Robert Bellamy married in weardale in dec 1889. as his sons middle name was walker i'm guessing that his wifes maiden name was walker, can anyone confirm this for me. she was called Mary Jane born in 1868 Ellis Hill n'land. thanks Marie x
What other names appear in the same qtr, district and page as the marriage of Benjamin Robert Bellamy?
That's a far better strategem.

All census look up transcriptions are Crown Copyright ====================================== Brown 1800 Dover -> Woolwich (Kent) Barnett 1800 Isleworth -> Woolwich Pannifer 1830 Suffolk -> Deptford Kent Brierley in Staffordshire(Pre-1875) Walters in Middlesex(Pre-1875) Clift,Gould in Devon/Cornwall
When you see the results, click on the page number and it will state the other names transcribed to that page.
After that' it's a process of elimination.
If there are two women; Phoebe and Eliza
If the wife's Eliza in census, then he didn't marry Phoebe...

The marriage certificate would show you Mary Jane's father's name and occupation to be sure this is the right family

The WALKER is from the previous generation. From earlier censuses Benjamin was born in Bedfordshire, son of William and Eliza Bellamy. William was unmarried in the 1861 census but started having children shortly after it.
Marriage: Sep 1861 Bedford 3b 426 William Bellamy
There is no wife down for this reference, but there is: Sep 1861 Bedford 3b 406 Eliza Walker
This is clearly the right person; there has been a transcription error.
1871 RG10/4951 folio 29 page 11 45 Vicarages, Frosterley, Stanhope, Durham BELLAMEY William Head 32 Quarryman Eliza Wife 31 William J Son 9 Scholar Benjaman R Son 7 " Kate E Dau 4 " Annie M Dau 2 Mary J Dau 4 months all born Kempston Bedfordshire except Mary J born Stanhope Durham
their marriage Sep 1861 Bedford 3b 426 Bellamy William but on freebmd no spouse shown so you may need Benjamin's birth cert to find out his mother's maiden name
edit: Richard, well done, that was my next idea, to look for a possible Walker in the same quarter
