Hoping someone can help me out there - this is a good one
At the moment i am systematically working through my research, and none of the researchers i have come across has this 
Mary Bellamy Daughter of John and Mary
Born: in 1765 Laughterton
Most have her dying in 1799 aged 14
However....
I have in my posession her brother's will written in 1837
and it states
"I leave to my sister MARY WATSON, of East Kirkby in the county of Lincoln one hundred pounds"
Can anyone find some info on her for me???
Apparently she was still alive , kicking and possibly with a husband
Thank you so much
Your help is really valuable!

There is one tree on Ancestry that suggests death in 1779.

Hi Betton
Have you looked at Family Search.org for Marys family. Someone has taken it back to 1688 to her GGrandparents. It also seems that Marys Mum was called Elizabeth Becket and it was her Grandma who was called Mary. Her great Gran was called Ann Mellish and she was b in 1688. Her Dad John also had a Dad called John and also his Dad was John.
I cant find the death at aged 14 or their marriage. The rest is interesting.
regards Sandymc

The will is very graphic and William - her brother also names some of the other brothers and sisters - so i know i have a mary Watson.
William also goes onto say thay the money maty be passed on to her grand children
So i presume that joseph and mary watson did have a family.
Sadly on the will - although it only mentions the bellamy's by names, namely the brothers called Christopher (kester) and Thomas.
one that i also have a will for and who is named as a nephew is "JOHN BELLAMY OF SLEAFOD" - i believe he was a publican, but i haven't managed to work out of which brothers he belonged to!
i know there is a mary bellamy dying in 1799 aged 14 but william distinctly states "My sister Mary Watson."

oh.
Looks like i have hit a brick wall with this generation really - ah well!
John and Elizabeth n. Beckett had 11 Children in all.
1. Mary - who married Joseph Watson (incidentally, i put him in the IgI last night and come up with nothing 
2. Elizabeth born and died 1768
3. Samuel Born: 1769 (no info except Baptism)
4. Johnathon 1769 - 1771
5. Thomas - 1772 - 1833 married Sarah Hird
6. Elizabeth Bellamy 1773 (no further info)
7. Rebbecca Bellamy 1776 1776 (no Further info)
8. Millicent 1776 - 1779
9. Kester (Christopher) 1781 - 1838 he married Mary Bates
10. William 1761 - 1836 ("The Will") - who never married or had a family
11. John 1763 - 1829 Married Mary Ellis
Logically discounting what i do know "John Bellamy of Sleaford" must belong to one of the Bellamy men...
I have a will for a John Bellamy who died 12th November 1839 in New Sleaford - the will was proved 14th may 1840. he was an innkeeper and was married to a Mary.
Oddly it does intimate that he has children, but doesn't name them, but states they shall have legacies when they reach 21...
He doesn't mention leaving any money to the Bellamy family 
so that leaves me a little lost
It may have been easier for me to find Something out about the Watson's apart from we have one name - Sarah who will be 25 on the next census - thus no doubt possibly married.

I have found Robert in 1861 in morton living with those cousins
William Rodgers
When i had a look for him in 1851 - he was head of the house and his parents were alive they were Charles Rodgers (b. 1789 Morton) and Elizabeth b. (1795)
The reason i chased them was as being cousins, their mother might have been a Bellamy, however i do have an elizabeth Bellamy, (who would have been their aunty - but she married a william Denman) - so that shot my theory in the foot.
I presume that the conclusion must be That Elizabeth Rodgers must have been a Wadeson.
