bellamy of stogumber and monksilver

[borderman]

Barnaby Bellamy born 1748 married Frances Powell Simon...are the Bellamys an old Somerset family?
Barnaby died in Southwark London in 1831...i wonder why he moved from Somerset?

[trish1120]

He may haved moved as there was more work in London.

Barnaby was Christened 5 Dec 1748, All Saints, Monksilver to JOHN/ELIZABETH of Stogumber
Siblings;
FRANCES, 26 Dec 1734
ANNE, 3 March 1739
RICHARD, 4 Nov 1742
JOHN, 8 March 1745
ANNE, 11 May 1752, abode Stogumber
JULIA, 30 April 1757
JULIA, 18 May 1760, abode Stogumber

John BELLAMY Married Elizabeth BELLAMY, 23 Dec 1733, All Saints

Ah something a bit confusing here;
John BELLAMY of Stogumber married Elizabeth STANDFAST, 16 Nov 1741 same Church.
So did he marry 2 Elizabeths or are there 2 different Couples?

Anyhow to answer your question FreeREG has Bellamy BMD in Monksilver going back to the mid 1600's

Baptisms of Barnabys Children in Bridgwater are there also 1774-1780 and the 1773 Marriage.

Thanks Trish1120....that info was interesting...The two John Bellamy marriages is confusing...i assumed Elizabeth Standfast was person i was looking for but now..maybe not...despite a couple of years looking i still can find nothing about Frances Powell Simon...perhaps there is a mis-spelling somewhere...Thanks again..Much appreciated.
