Edmund and Mary had John Beaumont, born 1744 in Norwich, Norfolk.
I assume you are looking for John's father, Edmund, who married Mary?
Based on the date of Edmund's marriage to Mary (1739), I do not believe that he is the man who was buried in 1799 in Great Yarmouth at the age of 66 (born c.1733). He would have been ~6 years old at marriage (yes, burial records can be inaccurate, but it is unlikely that it is
this inaccurate, in my opinion).
I think it is likely that these are 2 different Edmund Beaumonts. If you are looking for John's father, Edmund, then it is likely that he was born closer to the time his wife (Mary Golden) was, which is 1716.
Theres little to no information on Edmund but I know that the spelling of his name is "Beaumont" because his son has records.
It is important to remember that spelling wasn't standardised as it is today, and there were also high levels of illiteracy. The spelling in the parish register is based on what the person writing the entry believed that they
heard, not what it necessarily was. I have seen much crazier spelling variations! I have Pyke ancestors, and their surnames were frequently written as "Pecke" in the register.
