the somers bellamy cremer connection is fascinating
we have in the Higham family (descended from Rose Higham nee Bellamy grand-daughter of dr George Bellamy) a small picture of Rambling Jack Cremer striding along in a tricorn hat and flowing coat with a "bill of entail" poking out of his pocket
but I read that there is another big portrait of him
I would love to have a copy!!
and contacts with descendents of the Bellamys particularly George David Bellamy, engineer, brother of Rose. who started the eagle soap works with my great grandfather James Higham. The adventure in the soap works was a mystery until an accounts book 1857 - 1859 turned up in an outside shed, kept as a scrap book by Rose from 1863
