needsome help on finding Beeston or Beestone

[troods]

Hi all

Have found some info stating my Elizabeth Ashmore was born 1844 in Beestone England. I have googled abit and found that perhaps it should read Beeston, which I found was in Nottinghamshire.

I also looked on FreeBMD and found an entry for my Elizabeth Ashmore born 1844 in Nottinghampshire.

Does anyone have any ideas on this for me. Is there a Beestone or should it be  Beeston.

Hoping someone can help

Many thanks in advance kind regards Troods

Hi troods,

  There is a Beeston just South West of Nottingham so if she is a Notts lass thats your place ok.

Hi Troods, There are several Beeston's in England including the one in Nottingham.

I actually live in the one in Nottingham.

Thanks to everyone who replied to my query on Beeston, much appreciated

hi Roseground

I have my gggrandmother born at Beestone in 1844, Elizabeth Ashmore to parents Thomas Ashmore and Kezia Bales. On her marriage certificate it refers to her being born in Beestone, England. From googling I have found that it could have been Beeston instead of Beestone.
I was trying to find a place that I could link her too, maybe a definite birth record etc.
The family came to Australia approx 1850-1860's.

Many thanks
Troods

hi cousin Troods!

Elizabeth Ashmore was my ggg grandmother. Ive been doing the fam tree for a number of years and have alot of info on the Williams in Victoria especially.

Kezia Bales used quite a few names and seemed to have been hiding from someone from her arrival in Victoria around 1855. She married Thomas Barker in 1864 who had fathered three children to Kezia from 1857 to 1862. She used a different name on each birth certificate.

My information says Kezia and Elizabeth came from Beeston but in Norfolk not Nottinghamshire, I got stumped here as there are four Beestons in Norfolk which would make it a good placename to quote if you don't want to be found out! I take all info for Kezia with a grain of salt.

I spent days going through the microfiche at the State Library of Victoria looking at William Williams's, nearly went mad, but found him and a whole heap of relo's. WILLIAM PENWELL WILLIAMS. (So the name Penwell is from his mother Catherine then).He and Elizabeth Annen/Annand/Anning had 11 children

I take it you are from the family of Augustus Philip Williams who moved to WA?
I'm from his eldest sister Elizabeth Emily Williams family.

I'd like to share our information and would enjoy hearing from you

Kind regards
Damo

Hi Damo and Troods

I am a relative as well.  I hope you are still reading this forum as I would love to make contact with you and share family trees.

My ggg grandparents were Edwin Williams and Elizabeth Ashmore who married in Collingwood in 1860.  Funny thing is my whole family are mad Collingwood supporters.
I am related through their son Henry Samuel -> his son Henry Francis -> and my dad Henry Norman.  My maiden name is Williams.

Cheers
Lisa
