Buckinghamshire / Re: BEASLEY of Wooburn

Thanks Chopsuey, I did find the information about Joseph through another Beazley relative, I appreciate your help.  We are still trying to sort them out.  I believe that the Ann is the daughter of Joseph and as far as the spelling goes - well here in Australia their names change spelling quite a lot. 

I don't quite understand what you mean about William getting the best deal, but the run around?  Also I got the papers from the Archives but they didn't give me any further information as to why he received a pardon, just that he did (that was disappointing  ??? because from what I understand that was just about a miracle back then to get a pardon).   Anyway thank you again for your help.  Kind regards Tracey.

Hi, If you have a look at the 1851 census you will find Joseph Beesley in the Wycombe Union Workhouse aged 77 occupation is shown as papermaker although he is now listed as a pauper.  Shows him as born Woburn.  There is also an Ann Beesley listed aged 57 and she is shown as being born on the sea.  Relationship not shown, but appears to say unmarried, so perhaps daughter.  The 1841 census shows him at the Bledlow District Workhouse aged 65 born in Buckinghamshire.  Here Ann is shown as 65 also and there is a Thomas Beesley aged 80.  They are shown as not born Bucks, shows they were born Scotland or Ireland, but this may not necessarily be so as I find the ticks can get carried away.
That is all very sad isn't it.  I can't find a connection to my Beazleys, but could well be as I am convinced that in spite of the spelling, most are descended from Beazleys of Noke Oxfordshire.  Re Alfred, he is actually shown as also receiving 7 years transportation, but can't find him in Australia.  Are you sure his sentence was overturned or he may have been sent to USA.  Sounds as though William got the best of the deal although he got the run around also.

Buckinghamshire / Re: BEASLEY of Wooburn

As this is an old board I am hoping someone is still looking  :)   

I am trying to find information in relation to Joseph Beasley Papermaker, William Beasley/Beazley and Alfred Beasley.
His son William Beasley was convicted of theft (along with Alfred who we think is his brother)  and William was sent to Australia as a convict on the Ship Burrell (1830).  The information on the ship list and his Certificate of Freedom says that his native place is Wooburn Green, Bucks .  He was a Brickmaker and was born 1811.  On his death certificate it says the information about his father Joseph being a Papermaker. 

Alfred (according to Archives UK) - was pardoned - (I am still waiting for the papers as I live in Australia).

Now the spelling of the name does change - when he comes to Australia it is Beasley, when he has his children and on death certificate it is Beazley. 

I hope that someone may have some more information.  Much appreciated.  Tracey.

Wondering if anyone knew where Jane Dykins died and when.  I know she married David Evans in 1849 in Manchester and according to the Censis 1881 they lived in Everton Lancashire. David died in 1892 but I am having trouble finding Jane.  Just a query.  I am married to a descendant of their son Philip Dykins Evans. Regards.

« on: Sunday 05 June 11 06:36 BST (UK)  »
"Griffith Valuations,  give us a  Francis McNab, Charles McNab in the Segully Area - have followed that  Francis McNab who dies in Co. Tyrone 1886 (Will viewable via PRONI) - He had a daughter also  named Jane McNab who migrates to Australia - and this Francis we believe to be a "Red herring'. not ours?!"

 I believe this Francis belongs to a family I'm tracing I have the information in relation to Jane  - is there any further information about him - I'm only just learning how to do this - don't know where to start.  Hope you can help. Thanks.
