Farm location

Kelly's Post Office Directory for 1849 (the copy I have seen doesn't have the date printed, however it has a hand written note "County Department Phoenix Fire Office 21 May '49") has only Edward BELLAMY a farmer at North Kyme.

Mrs BELLAMY is at the Lion Hotel, North Gate,  Sleaford

Richard BELLAMY is a farmer in Billinghay.

Not sure if this Richard BELLAMY is also part of your family:

"On the 24th ult. at North Kyme, on the body of Rd. Bellamy, aged 49, who had become very much addicted to drinking, until his stomach became so debilitated that the digestive organs could not perform their functions. Verdict, "died from a decay of nature, accelerated by excessive drinking."

Mrs BELLAMY is at the Lion Hotel, North Gate,  Sleaford

Still not sure if this is Susannah BELLAMY -

Mrs BELLAMY of the Lion Hotel is mentioned in 1842 - entertaining nearly 200 children of the Sunday School with tea and plumcake.

Ah, maybe not Susannah - death notice for James WADESON, 72, father of Mrs BELLAMY of the Lion Hotel.

and I can see some earlier mentions of Mr BELLAMY of the Lion, from around 1834, so not Susannah.

Doesn't help with when she left the farm, however there is also this mention of Susannah BELLAMY at a meeting of Proprietors of Estates in North  Kyme East Fen on 28 Dec 1839 (regarding drainage).

Thank you. Any information is useful. I know she must have left sometime between 1841 and 1851 due to the information on the Census returns for those years. I've been trying to see if she left a Will as I know she died in 1856, but have yet to find one.

I'm not sure so I may have to investigate further. She did have a son Richard but I'm sure he was a beer retailer in 1851 so don't think thats her son. Her husband was a Richard but he died in 1828.

Thank you but as you say not Susannah. Her maiden name was Harrad/Harrod.

Richard BELLAMY is a farmer in Billinghay.

This Richard could possibly be her son. He is recorded on the 1841 Census as a farmer but by 1851 is a beer retailer so i guess the farm is sold. if this is the son it narrows down the sale of the farm to between 1849 and 1851.

In the "Return of Owners of Land, 1873", an Elizabeth BELLAMY has 2 and a bit acres at Billinghay.

A John HARROD has 3 and a bit acres there.
