Title: Bedfordshire Villages Parish Registers
Post by: criggy on Thursday 05 August 04 21:15 BST (UK)

I am willing to do look ups at Flitwick Library, Bedfordshire on occasion, within reason.

They hold the following parish registers 1813 + on microfiche. The dates they go up to vary a lot but some go up to the late 1900’s.

Amphill, Barton le Clay, Clophill, Eversholt, Flitton, Flitwick, Harlington, Lidlington, Mauldon, Millbrook, Pulloxhill, Ridgemont, Silsoe, Steppingley, Tingrith & Toddington.

Hi Elaine

I think I have found your William Burgess.

Pulloxhill burials 1813-1841
William Burgess of Pulloxhill died Feb 17 1832 aged 1 & 1 month.

This obviously explains why you couldn't find a marriage for him.

Baptism entry.
17.4.1831 William son of James & Elizabeth Burgess of Pulloxhill, carpenter.

Also found the following while looking for something else.

24.5.1855
George Olney 23 bachelor Farmer of Westoning father George Olney Dead
= Sarah Burges 21 spinster of Pulloxhill father James Burges carpenter.
Both signed. Witnesses: John Olney & Jane Burges

If there is anything else you wish me to look up just let me know.

Regards

criggy

re Beeson/Beason

I am trying to verify details for Charles BEESOn born abt 1817 Missingham/Kingshill to a Thomas BEESON and Elizabeth.  Siblings include Job, Sarah, John, Thomas, James (b.1808?) and Samuel (born 1810?)
Charles, James and Samuel were all transported to Tasmania. Charles and James arrived in 1835 on the same ship and Samuel was drowned on his voyage out.
According to convict indent, James left behind a wife, Caroline and a child in Bedford.
Any help appreciated.
