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??

[hermitpez]

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...
