Another interesting piece of information was on the headstone of
Sarah Hannah Beeson nee Foster wife of Charles Henry Beeson, it lists the following people.
Sarah Hannah Beeson First wife died 1883 aged 37
Fanny Alice Beeson Second wife died 1886 aged 24 (*is this the sister of Sarah Hannah)
Kate Beeson Third wife died 1941 (* is this another sister of Sarah's??) aged 84
Charles Henry Beeson died 1932 aged 81
Charles Henry Beeson died 1896 aged 2
Herbert Henry Beeson died 1891 aged 1
Alfred Hodson Beeson died 1893.
I haven't found the marriages for Fanny and Kate to a Charles Henry Beeson, so their surnames are not known at the moment...but goodness it looks a bit suss doesn't it!!. And the child Alfred Hodson Beeson who died in 1893 definitely wasn't Sarah Hannah's child!!.
I can't find a Charles Henry Beeson marrying either a Fanny between 1883 - 1886 or
Kate after 1886
Perhaps he did not marry either of them and they just lived together as man and wife
I checked Lancashire BMD but can only see his
1875 marriage entry to Sarah Hannah Foster at
Bury Register Office or Registrar Attended -
there is one in Bury for a
Kate Foster in 1884 she married John Farrer
It certainly appears to me that they are the sisters of his first wife Sarah Hannah Foster

probably dau of Sarah Hannah
William BEESON

(
I think Fanny Alice is his mother and probably
died during/after child birth as her death is also June quarter 1886 Barnsley)
and these three children probably sons of Kate
