BEEBY family - LEICESTERSHIRE (Castle Donington)

[The Engineer]

Does anyone else have BEEBY from Castle Donington, Leicestershire, in their family tree.  I have just traced a branch of my wife's family, her 2nd great-grandmother was a Fanny BEEBY, born about 1836 in Castle Donington. 

Parents are William and Sarah BEEBY, coal dealers, both born in Castle Donington.  Also siblings John (1834), Joseph (1835), Thomas (1838), Mary (1840), Male (1842), Ellen (1843), William (1843), Sarah (1845) - all born Castle Donington.

Father William BEEBY was born about 1801, son of John BEEBY (1766) and Dorothy BOSWORTH (1733), married 08/02/1797 at Castle Donington. 

Any possible links, anyone??  Hope to hear from someone soon!!

David, Garry,

I am doing a one-name-study of the Beeby surname.  I will see what details I may have and will get back to you.  I cannot promise an immediate response, but as soon as I can.

Regards
Allan Beeby.

Hi Allen and Garry,
I am very pleased that the Castle Donington Beeby's have sparked some interest, as mentioned, I have further info and family photos for sharing and look forward to hearing more from you both.
A few years ago, I had extensive e-mail exchanges with Rosslyn Beeby in Australia regarding the many ex Castle Donington Beeby's. She has done very comprehensive Australian research but our contact has been lost.
Best regards,

Hi,

[The Engineer]

Hi David,
sorry that I have not replied before now, I have been inactive for a number of years and just logged on tonight.

I do have William BEEBY born 1844 Castle Donnington, married in 1868 in Leicester district to Margarette Sneary RICHARDS born 1848 Stamford, Lincolnshire.  I have EIGHT children for this marriage, one of whom is shown as Willie BEEBY born 1874 in Castle Donnington.

This must be your William BEEBY born 1874.  I had no marriages for him or his siblings, and stub branch.  If all above is correct you are a 7th cousin to my wife.

Allan,
would love to share my BEEBY research with you.  Most of the more distant ancestry I have obtained by sharing with other relatives over the years.

BOTH - please send me a personal message and I will send you my email address along with my BEEBY line research. I have just added your branch to my tree, David!

Cheers,
Garry Brookes
