:P Having discovered that my Ancestor William Bearman born c 1812 was born in Barking Essex. Is there anyone out there with Bearman connections in Essex?
This family are hard to pin down. As he marries in Devon, has a child in Somerset and another in Hampshire, before finally settling Greenwich (Kent). Maybe his forbears in Essex are more stable.

Hi tac,
No I'm afraid West Tilbury or Stanford le Hope have no connection at the moment. But maybe I'll come up with something at a later date, Bearman is such an uncommon name.

I noticed these BEARMANs baptisms at Essex Record Office in Chelmsford Parish D/P 94/1/14
page 382 Oct 1 1864 Ada Elizabeth
page 395 Mar 17 1866 William Lewis
The parents were Henry and Selina BEARMAN of Railway Street. He was a miller.
In Leytonstone (which is now part of East London but which was once part of Essex) there was a posh department store called BEARMANs. Think 'Grace Brothers in Are you being served' and that was BEARMANs

i will keep all these bearmans in mind for when i start this line of the family

Hi,
I have loads of Bearman's, but they are BOCKING not Barking. The Bearmans go way back in that parish, or certainly as far back as I can read the records.

To Neve,
I am beginning to wonder if my William born 1812 isn't from Bocking. I was sent the 1861 census details for William by a lovely rootschatter called Carol. So I didn't see the entry myself and Barking /Bocking could look very similar. I had noticed that there seemed to be a lot of Bocking Bearman's.
Do you have any William's in your tree? My William who married in Devon in 1842 and had children in Somerset, Devon, Hampshire and Greenwich and had ocupations ranging from shoemaker to Royal Marine and finally sick attendant in Greenwich Hospital, is prooving to be a handful to track down. His father according to the marriage certificate was called Wiliam too and was a shoemaker in 1842 and presumably from Essex, since his son was born there, but I suppose I shouldn't count on it given my ggg grandfather William seems to have been a bit of a gypsy.

Suzanne,
I looked through all the baptisms I have for Bearmans in Bocking and there are only two Williams even close to 1812. One is my ancestor, born in 1808 and the other is a son of James and Sarah, baptised in 1816. Of course, if he came from a non-conformist family as many folk around here did, I wouldn't have him listed. Do you think he was still living in Essex in 1841? I could have a look at the census.
Regards,
Neve

Thanks Neve,
Yes please look for him on 1841. I'm not sure where he was in 1841. In 1842 he was in Devon, in 1844 Portsmouth, in 1851 Somerset and 1861 Greenwich. Have put feelers out on both the Hampshire and Devon boards for 1841 census. So if you look as well, maybe he'll turn up.
Regards
Suzanne

I do not know if this will help...
There use to be a Departmental store in
Leytonstone, East Greater London..called
BEARMANS Ltd...I think the family live Woodford
or Chingford way...
the Store Closed in 1981 'ish
It might give you an area to search in...
Good hunting

Dear siouxzie
My Great Great Grandfather James shipman's mother was Susan Bearman. The family were at South Weald in Essex in 1836. I don't have any other information about her parents or family. We think her husband was John Shipman. James and his brother William and their Brother-in -law Samuel Rush were transported to Australia in 1836. Everyone else stayed in England. Hope this may be of some minor help. I know when I've tried to trace Susan I keep hitting a brick wall.
Good Luck wren

Dear Souixzie et al .....
When I was researching my own family (Fewell) I came across an early Essex Bearman -
Sarah BEARMAN married Simon/Simeon CHILDS at Chignall St James, Essex on 30th August 1752.
This was (I think) the earliest, but not the only, reference to a Bearman in the parish record that I was checking through.
If you haven't checked already - there are some Bearman exchanges on Genforum (but they may be between you guys for all I know !)
Any help ?????

Thanks to all,
ME I can't see any connection to my Bearman's as yet but I'll keep her in mind. Yes I've posted on Genforum, no response as yet.
Wren I'll look out for your Susan
Alan Thanks for your post, My William in 1861 is living in Greenwich and is married to Jane, occupation sick attendant, that census gives his birthplace as Barking.
I just havn't found his family there yet any earlier. I'll keep those Bearman's in mind though, you never know there might be a link eventually.
William's father according to his marriage cert was called William too and was a shoemaker.
I don't have a knowledge of Essex as a county and don't know what areas are near to Barking.
I'll find them eventually

Hi Neve,
Noticed that you are researching Bearman's of Bocking and seeing as most of mine were either Bocking or Braintree I wondered if we were searching the same family.
I am connected to the Bearman's twice. My Great great grandfather John Wade married Sarah Bearman c1806 in 1829 and John's sister Catherine Wade married William Bearman born 31 10 1808 Bocking on the 19 7 1829
