Title: Beasley from Northampton, England and Leicestershire, England to Australia
Post by: MaggieLou915 on Saturday 04 May 24 18:33 BST (UK)
I am looking for any information about Sarah Agnes Beasley and her husband, William Freeman Campion who left Northamptonshire, England and lived in Adelaide, Australia, and died 1897 in Port Wakefield, South Australia, Mary Ann Beasley who left Northamptonshire, England and married Henry Charles Woolcott in New South Wales, Australia and died 1900 in Kogarah, New South Wales, Australia, and William Hewitt Beasley, born in Northamptonshire, England, married Florence Ada Smith in Leicester, Leicestershire, England, had a daughter Mabel Elizabeth Beasley and came to Australia 1885 and lived in Queensland.  William Hewitt Beasley died 1901 in Queensland. 
Sarah Agnes, Mary Ann and William Hewitt Beasley were children of Joseph Beasley and his wife Catherine Hewitt.
Thank you
Margaret Dowd

Not quite clear whether you're looking for earlier information or after they came to Australia.

Anyhow, here's some UK information, which you may already have.  There is a tree on Ancestry but, it seems to me, there's quite a few mistakes.

Baptism: 25 September, 1823, All Saints church, Northampton
William Freeman Campion, s/o  Thomas (victualler) and Jane Campion of Bridge St, Northampton

1841 census, Great Russell St, (St Giles parish), Northampton
Joseph Beasley   40 shoemaker, born Northamptonshire
Catherine Beasley   40 laundry, not born Northamptonshire
Sarah Beasley   11 born Northamptonshire (as were all children)
Joseph Beasley   8
Mary Beasley   6
John Beasley   3
Moran Beasley   8 Mo

Marriage:
Nov 8th, 1849 by licence, at St Giles, Northampton  ( my son was baptised there!)
William Freeman Campion, full age, bachelor, living in parish of St Sepulchre's, occupation: gentleman,  Father: Thomas Campion, cabinet maker
Sarah Agnes Beasley, spinster, 19, residence: Great Russell St, father: Joseph Beasley, shoemaker
William signed but I think Sarah made a cross. There is no mention of who gave permission for her to marry under-age, however Joseph Beasley signed as a witness.
