Thanks for the information... it is helpful... and the Welcome!

Are all the established Bellamys in Greenwich related? 

I understand that Walter Lewis Bellamy was in Radnorshire Cusop when Walter William Bellamy was born in 1863.

I have no idea if my Parkes family are related to Sir Henry Parkes, but this is what I know... Alexander Parkes, reputed to having been born in Ireland and probably grew up in Liverpool,,, Alex was my great grandfather went to Australia to find gold, he then moved to South Africa and was involved with gold on the Rand. He was married to Annie who was from St Kilda, Australia born about 1874.  Annie lived in Durban with some tough children.  Annie was an artist, a painting of lions remains in my brothers home in Cape Town. 

I would love to get more info and have struggled to get any details of the family.

email me (*) if you know anything

Walter Lewis Bellamy was very ill and died relatively young... His son Walter William Bellamy was my grandmothers father and he died in Durban South Africa in 1914 of consumption while on a trip from Pedi in the Eastern Cape where he was based as a senior Policeman.  Walter W had schooled at Christs Hospital where I believe his grandfather had him entered at a young age. Walter W is buried amongst my mothers family in Stellawood cemetery in Durban, South Africa.

I know that Jessie Glanville Bellamy died in Peacehaven in 1952 leaving the house in her will to my father and uncle. Someone lived in the house until the 70's who was a relative... we are not sure who she was.

I would love to hear more about the family so any information would be welcome.
