Hi all Has anyone come across any mention of Henry Haffey BEAN? He was a younger brother of Willoughby BEAN (resident of Brisbane Waters area from abt 1825 to 1844) and I am trying to establish whether or not he ever came out to Australia. He was born in Hampshire in 1809 and married twice; firstly in 1847 in Lancashire and, after the death of his first wife, he married in 1853 in Yorkshire. He died in 1890 in England. I have come across a couple of Australian references to an H. H. BEAN and am wondering if this is the same man. In the 1841 NSW Census there is a Henry H. BEAN residing at "Cassanda, District Merton". On the 25 Jul 1846 the Moreton Bay Courier reported a long list of unclaimed mail at the North Brisbane Post Office including 12 items for H. H. BEAN. On the 30 Aug 1846 a Mr H. H. BEAN was a passenger on the "Tamar" from Moreton Bay (presumably arriving at Sydney or elsewhere in NSW, as it was reported in the Sydney papers). He was also appointed Trustee of Willoughby BEAN's Estate c1842 when the latter was declared insolvent, but that may not mean he was residing in Australia at that time. Is there any record of this Henry BEAN owning land or property in the Merton / Denman area or perhaps around the Brisbane Water area? Any help much appreciated. Anne (in VIC) Apologies if you receive this more than once but I have cross-posted it to the relevant lists.
