BEADLE family

[carolineb]

Bluebadger, thank you for your reply. I'm very excited!
You may have this already but.. Your grandmother Lucy was the sister of Edward John Beadle and an Ethel who we think died young.
Edward John Beadle was born in 1890 in India. His son Mervyn is one of 10 children from 2 different marriages. So that makes Mervyn (my husbands father) and your mother Nancy cousins. Mervyn (still alive) told me that Lucy had 2 children, Joy and Reginald. I don't know whether he knew about your mum Nancy. Is she still alive?
Amos was born in Keston, Kent, in 1850. He was one of 11 children born to George Beadle and Elizabeth (nee Richardson).
I would love to see pictures of Lucy and Nancy, I will send you a message with my email address. Are you living in the UK?
Many thanks again, Caroline

Hi Bluebadger and Carolineb,
I realise that this is an old thread, but wondered if you had traced George Beadle and Elizabeth Richardson's lineage back any further.
I strongly suspect that George Beadle is the brother of my 4xg grandfather Thomas Beadle.
Both George and Thomas were born in Cudham according to censuses.  Thomas married a 16 year old at St John the Baptist Croydon in Nov 1826, and George Beadle was a witness. George married a 17 year old Elizabeth Robinson in Dec 1826 at the same church - I haven't checked for their witnesses.
Finding baptisms for Thomas and George is proving tricky - because the records for Cudham for that period are in a shocking state.  The curate kept the records in higgldy piggaldy state.
Have you had any luck with George's baptism?

Hi Alexnip

I havent done anything further on this, and didn't find any baptisms for George or Thomas.
For some reason I stopped looking into this, but I did come across some info along the way which may or may not have any substance - although I don't want to send you on a wild goose chase, there may be something here!
I checked back through my notes and this is what I had scribbled down:
George Beadle b about 1800 (the George that married Elizabeth Richardson), his possible parents: George Beadle b. 24 Jan 1775. Married an Elizabeth and had a Thomas 13 Nov 1803. This Thomas married a Hannah - does that fit with your 16 year old?

The parents of George(1775) may have been: George Beadle b. 17 Aug 1735, death 28 Feb 1810; and a Sarah Green, married 16 Nov 1767 Cudham Kent.

The parents of George Beadle (1735) may have been: John Beadle b. 1712 and an Elizabeth.

The parents of John Beadle (1712) may have been: John Badgley and Sarah Coffin

The parents of John Badgley may have been: John Badgley and Euphemia Radley.

I would be very interested to hear if any of this is verified.  I do have a death cert for George if any good.

best of luck. Caroline.

Hi Caroline,
Yes, that is the family I mean and Hannah Hall is the 16 year old who married Thomas Beadle 
The tree that you have seems to be one that originates from a lovely guy called Gavin Taylor from New Zealand.  He has sadly passed away now, but when I originally asked him about sources he said that someone had passed him the information & the tree had to be checked.  Gavin was a descendant of Thomas's son George Beadle, & his family tree website is here  http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~taylgl34/gavins_ancestry.htm.
I have been using parish baptism records to verify lineages for Thomas Beadle & Hannah Hall.  Hannah has been pretty straightforward but Thomas's baptism was more elusive.
What I do have is the information from this website:
http://www.kent-opc.org/Parishes/PRTranscripts/CudhamChr1800.html
Which gives a baptism for Thomas with parents George and Elizabeth Beadle.  The transcript was pulled together by Henry Mantell and his team from the original records at Bromley.
But that's as far as I've got!
Kind Regards, Alex
