Farm location

[Meggiejayne]

Hello. I'm trying to find information about farms within the Billinghay and Walcott areas and what may have become of those farms.
Firstly land farmed by John Holmes in Walcott. The 1861 census has John farming 175 acres and employing perhaps 2 labourers. John dies in 1868 and leaves a Will. His wife Elizabeth takes on the farm and by 1871 is farming 182 acres and employing 4 labourers and a boy. I cannot find any reference to the farm after this date.
Secondly land farmed by Richard Bellamy in Billinghay. Because Richard dies in 1828 I cannot find any details of this farm. On the 1841 Census, his wife Susannah is listed as farmer, but of course there are only basic information given on this census. By 1851 she has moved to Coningsby and is an "annuitant" so assuming living off the profits or annuity of the farm. I did think that that maybe her son Richard took over the farm, but I found his as a beer retailer In Billinghay so perhaps not.
If anyone can shed any further light on these 2 farms...perhaps a name, location or what may have happened to them that would be amazing, Thank you

Have you contacted Lincolnshire Archives?  They appear to have tithe and enclosure records

An advert in the Stamford Mercury, 28 Dec 1827, has a piece of land (13 A 1R 14P) at North Kyme parish - in the tenure of a Mr Richard Bellamy.
The owner was a Mr Matthew Harrod of Billinghay.

There's a death notice for a Richard Bellamy, farmer, of Billinghay, age 40 in the Stamford Mercury, 10 Oct 1828

The land sounds plausible. North Kyme isnt that far from Billinghay so maybe a possibility. The second is definitely my Richard as he died late 1828.
Thank you.

Drakard's Stamford News, 9 Dec 1825
Under a heading "Agricultural Protection" owners/occupiers of land residing in Parts of Kesteven, were invited to form an Association for the protection of agriculture. Among those invited "R. Bellamy, N. Kyme".

This is the only R. Bellamy that's popped up in that area to date.

I did wonder if "Abode" on the baptismal register might give a clue. I can see 2 baptisms for Richard and Susannah (1821 and 1823) but the abode given is "Billinghay".
North Kyme appears as "Abode" against baptisms of others on the same page in the Registers.

Oh that's interesting, as his wife's maiden name was Harrod
