In that other thread you give details from an undated census of Robert living with his grand father in Yaxley:
1861: John Bellamy head widower 42 ag lab; John son 25; Elizabeth dau 23; Thomas son 20; Angelina dau 19; William son 16; Sophia granddau 2; Robert grandson 5mths. All b Yaxley. No sign of Jane

In 1871 in Yaxley
John Bellamy head widower 62 ag lab b Yaxley
John Bellamy son unm 39 b Farcet
Elizabeth Bellamy dau 34 b Farcet
Jane Bellamy dau unm 24 domestic servant b Farcet
Sophia granddau 12 b Farcet
Robert Bellamy grandson 10 b Farcet
Isabella granddau 7 b Peterborough
George Bellamy grandson 6 b Peterborough
Samuel Bellamy grandson 1 b Yaxley
Eliza Bellamy granddau 1 b Yaxley

If Jane really was 24 in 1861 she looks too young to have been the mother of Sophia and Robert. Does the 1861 baptism of Robert give his mother's name as Jane, but with no father?

1851 Yaxley
John Bellamy head widower 40; and children John 17, Elizabeth 15; Isabella 14; Thomas 12; Ann 10, William 8. All b Yaxley

1841 Yaxley
John & Elizabeth Bellamy both 25, Isabella 3, Thomas 1, Helena 5 wks (but age in male column). All b Hunts

Elizabeth Bellamy age 29 buried 9 Aug 1843, which if this is the right family would put Jane's birth as before Aug 1843

Jonathan Bellamy married Elizabeth Wake at Yaxley in 1835

All a bit inconclusive.

Hello David, yes Robert Bellamy was bapt in Yaxley 1861 mother Jane Bellamy no father mentioned, when Robert married Emily Fountain in Yaxley in 1883, there is also no father mentioned in his marriage.
I checked Farcet for a  Jane Bellamy bapt in 1847 thats too late, from the 1871 census Yaxley.on 1901 census,living with the HALL family is Jane Bellamy, mother in law,widow 56 born Yaxley 1845, do you think  Jane married after she came out of the Workhouse about 1870ish, but
1881 shows  a Jane Bellamy born 1841,single,living with 5 sons.??
Thankyou for your replyMargaret.

Not on the 1881 that I'm looking at!

Back Lane, Yaxley
Jane Bellamy head unmarr 40 Charwoman b Yaxley
George Bellamy son 18 b Peterborough
William Bellamy son 6 b Yaxley
Emma Bellamy dau 4 b Yaxley

Presumably it was this Emma that Jane was living with in 1901. Emma Bellamy married Herbert Hall in Peterborough registration district in the Dec quarter 1892

I think 1901 was incorrect when describing her as widow. It should have been unmarried. I don't think she ever married.

I'm looking for relatives of Isabella Bellamy b 1837 or 1840 in Yaxley.  She married John Coles.  They are my second great grandparents. They moved to Poplar in London.  My nan was the daughter of their daughter Rose Charlotte Coles. 
In particular I am interested in whether Isabella and John had a daughter also called Isabella Coles, b around 1873, who married John Kelly b 1890, and whether they had a daughter called Susan Kelly b 1910.
From the helpful information I have gleaned from this page already, were the parents of Isabella Bellamy, John Bellamy b 1816 and Elizabeth (?) b 1816?  Does anyone have anything back further ? 
The photograph on this site of Isabella Bellamy is the first time we have seen her. 
Presume Yaxley was a small hamlet in the mid 1800's ?
Much appreciate any information

Hi and Welcome 

You can search for COLES/BELLAMY births on the GRO indexes.

COLES, ISABELLA
Mother's maiden surname: BELLAMY     
GRO Reference: 1873  M Quarter in STEPNEY  Volume 01C  Page 514

John wouldn't have been born in 1890 if this is the marriage:

Marriages March quarter 1900
COLES,     Isabella   
KELLY,    John

The marriage register gives his age as 29, hers as 27.

GRO Reference: 1909  D Quarter in STEPNEY  Volume 01C  Page 336

Census records confirm that this John COLES and Isabella BELLAMY were from Huntingdonshire.  Isabella was baptised on 27 May 1838 at Yaxley.
