Convict Samuel Beaman

[Jamjar]

There is a death notice for a Richard BEAMAN, but I can’t see a death for him on NSWBDM, 2nd column:

http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article197978728

I wonder if that is for Surrey Hills, in Victoria?   Vic BDM has a Richard BEAMAN's death in 1892, with parents as Sam and Mary...  #5010.

I had wondered about VIC, as it is where all the TROVE hits were heading.

Can’t see his marriage, but his children:

1855 3303 BEAMAN John Charles parents Richard Ellen (Fitzgerald)

1859 6944 BEAMAN Elizth Fran ditto

Death:

1884 11957 BEAMAN Ellen Theresa parent’s Fitzgerald Jno and Margaret (Oconnell) C’WOOD, aged 68, spouse Richard BEAMAN

Death notice, 2nd column: http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article60620882

Richard’s funeral notice confirms it is Melbourne, last column: http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article197009273

Some further info, and where possible I have included live links, or at least where you can seek to check out the info I am posting.


Until around Federation,  the electoral rolls were based on information collected verbally by police under the authority of the Police Magistrates.   Accurate spelling was not a pre-requisite.

Following from Sue's great find...

NSW ER 1870,  THE GLEBE
Robert LANGLEY, freehold house, Foy St, Balmain.

NSW ER 1878 THE GLEBE
George LANGLEY, residence, Foy St, Balmain
Robert LANGLEY, freehold house, Foy St, Balmain
Robert J LANGLEY, residence, Foy St, Balmain

Alas, none with surname BEAMAN there in either 1870 or 78...

SERVANTS WANTED.-
If Samuel Beaman and his wife are still disengaged (now supposed to be residing at Parramatta),
they will hear of a situation by applying to  B. C. RODD, Solicitor, Sydney.

https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/12425758 SMH 3 Jan 1843.

So the Samuel BEAMAN at Parramatta was known to have a wife at least during 1842, and possibly in the years prior to that...

Civil registrations for marriages commence in NSW in 1856.  NSW BDM's Early Church Records are not complete.

Hi Mariea

Just adding this for now until you start your new Renfrewshire post re Charles and wife Elizabeth.

There are the following details showing for children to them:

George b. 9 Jun 1828 in Kilbarchan https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XTJL-8ZR

Mary b. 30 Dec 1830 in Houston and Killellan https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X131-CHM

Janet b. 26 Aug 1833 in Houston and Killellan https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X131-BB3

Family Search provides indexes - you need to be logged in to view/search on FS

Marriage/banns for Charles and Elizabeth show on 15 August 1827 in Kilbarchan.

The only source of original images for Scotland is www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk

The family show in 1841 living in Linwood Village, Kilbarchan. Likely Elizabeth already a widow. The 1841 census is the most limited in terms of info.

Elizabeth Irvine 35 Cotton Spinner b Ireland
George Leper 15 Cotton Piercer
Mary Leper 13 Cotton Piercer
Janet 10
Mary Guthrie Cotton Spinner

There looks to be a number of Leper (with a number of variants) families in Lindwood Village at this time. Possible connections to George?

Freecen is good to use for census enquiries for this year www.freecen.org.uk/search_queries  Make sure you tick the Name Soundex box!
