Hi, I am looking for information on the Bedells family. They were based in and around the Grantham area but as I go back there seems to be none on some of the censuses, I assume it's because they've not been completed yet.
My search has lead me to a William Bedells (b: abt. 1831) and married a Mary Ann (b. abt. 1830). I have either Bradford or Leicestershire for the birth of William (quite an area!). Their first born was George Bedells in abt. 1850. They're found in Grantham in 1891 c. (Mary is a widow and living with her two youngest: George Wm and Henry (Harry).
Each of my family surnames lead me to lots of sites with info but it appears this particular name is rather elusive (on my searches).
Is there anyone out there looking for the Bedells family?

I hope with a name like Bedells you are looking at alternative spellings? Bedel/Beddel/Bedell/Bedels/ Beedells/Beadells etc
If you look on the 1891 census and put a broad name search with Grantham as the place, it brings up loads of possibles.

thank you both so much! the freecen site has no 'Bedells' found in 1841, 51, or 81. I will try different spellings with my search.
The Nottingham one looks like the right one! Thank you Rosie!
I was looking at the Mary Ann Carrall one last night but I was unsure as I saw a Mary Ann Lowe too. You are a star! muchas gracias!

Thank you!, they had two sons named George, this is the younger. That is great. Bradford it is then! I was hoping for Leicester as I live here and could go to the records office easier :,)

Death Free bmd Mary Ann Bedells Nottm 7b/138
1871 has william with wife Mary and children Eliza, Elizabeth, Lucy and Henry all in Grantham.
I think we may possibly have 2 William B's here?
I am wondering who the 28 year old Maria Anna (Mary Ann)was??
-
I have his children listed as (dates are approx):
George (1850)
Maria (1851)
Robert (1855)
Elizabeth (1857)
Jesse Slator (1862)
Lucy Mary (1866)
Harry (1869)
George William (1872)
So Albert could be another one!

William and Mary Ann did settle in Grantham, my great-great-grandfather Harry was born there, or so I am lead to believe

I have indeed, it is where a lot of the information I have got is from. I have Jesse's death down as 1865. Although the 'Slator' has been dropped on the record.

I have a copy of the 1861 census that he appears on. Living with Mary Ann, Robert, Elizabeth, and Maria. They are residing in Notts and it says William's birthplace is Nottingham. This is what has been the confusion with William as there seems to be a lot of them (very popular first name, not so much surname) and each time he is found there is a different birthplace! ::) ???
I guess this is what makes genealogy fun ;)
-
Thank you to everyone for the help.
It appears William (b: Leicester) married Mary Ann Carroll in Nottingham (1849), she died in 1861 and he married a Mary Slater (hence the middle name coming in) in 1862! He had 4 children with each of his wives. I have unlocked the Bedells now to 1620, now for the other branches...
