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.

Oh I wonder who that might be as my Elizabeth died well before 1873. Susannah her daughter-in law is farming in 1841  but has stopped by 1851. I don't know who if anyone takes over the land, as her son Richard doesn't as he is a beer retailer in 1851. His widow is an Elizabeth and although she's living in Billinghay in 1861 she is listed as an Inn(?) Keeper. No mention of any land. Could be her though.

Will need to look further into John Harrod as I don't have any information about the Harrods apart from the fact that Susannah was a Harrod.
