Thanks Margaret. The link did not work to the Census. I probably should have mentioned that George Marion Bellamy and Matilda immigrated to the US in Jan 1851, along with sons George, William, and James. William died at sea and supposedly so did Matilda, although it does not show on the manifest that she died at sea, only that William did. George remarried Lydia Palmer in Indiana. I am pretty solid with George's information once in the US. My grandfather, years before the internet traced his side to this George Marion Bellamy coming from Lincolnshire. I have conflicting birth dates for George Marion Bellamy, my Grandfather lists him as being born in 1828, (no supporting documentation), according to the 1870 US Census, it lists him as being born 1818, according to the ship manifest it lists him as 30 years old, that would put him born around 1820 or 1821. Now, there is an 1841 England Census that lists a John Bellamy and Ann Bellamy from the Louterton (Laughterton), Lincolnshire area with a son named George that was 12 years old, this would match the 1828 or 1829 birth date. I believe he died prior to 1880 because the 1880 Census shows his wife as a widow and she is living with a nephew. ________________________________ From: Margaret Taylor <magmom@rogers.com> To: Scott Bellamy <scottb992000@yahoo.com>; eng-lincsgen@rootsweb.com Sent: Monday, December 5, 2011 11:40 AM Subject: Re: [LIN] George Bellamy I wonder if the George age 2 bn N Willingham living with grandparents John & Susannah BELLAMY in 1851 is "your" George's son.(I am sending you a copy of the census entry.) I can't find either Matilda nor George snr in 1851 but there is a Matilda BELLAMY dying in1849 ( not in Lincs however.). The IGI notes a George bp 1821 to a couple named John & Susannah BELLAMY. 25.

Scott, I have quite a lot of Laughterton BELLAMYs in my tree going back to Gervase BELLAMY born about 1589 in Laneham, Notts. My line moved across the Notts/Lincs border in the early 1700s when a John BELLAMY married Ann MELLISH in 1707. The parish church for Laughterton was St Peter & St Paul at Kettlethorpe which is where most of the Bp/M/Bu activities took place. I have four John BELLAMYs but not the one who would have been married to Ann in the 1841 census. They were no doubt related to mine though. If you find a definite connection to the Laughterton BELLAMYs please get in touch.

Scott, Your George Marion BELLAMY appears in at least 4 Public Member Trees on Ancestry. In all of them he is stated to have been born in 1818 and in two of them in Tickhill, Yorkshire, England. Three of them have his spouse as Lydia Anne Palmer and one has Matilda Gore. I have not studied these trees in any detail so do not know if there are any sources in any of them. George's parents are given variously as Joseph and Anne or Joseph and Unknown. Terry M Wells terry.wells@talktalk.net
