I have a connection my Fathers side to the BEADON's through a Gt Grand Uncle Edmund Burningham born in Petworth who married Emily Beadon b in Walworth. Emily's father JOHN was a perfumer and fancy soap maker in Lorimer Street, Newington until 1881 Emily's brother George Beadon married Julia Emmerline Hale whose father William Matthew Hale was a perfumer and hairdresser. The Hale family was living in Devonshire Street Newington in 1871 and 1861 as per my other email. Now on my mothers side I have a connection through my Sutton/Becher line in London to the Beedon/Beeden family from Suffolk, Fanny Frances Beedon married my Great Grand Uncle, John Joseph Sutton and in 1861,71 and 81 Samuel Beedon and family were in Devonshire Street Newington and he was a plumber. So what are the odds that many many years later my Fathers ancestors in Devonshire Street would become connected to my Mothers ancestors in Devonshire Street by marriage in 1931, and what's the betting that they all knew each other in Devonshire Street because everyone needs a plumber, hairdresser or a bottle of perfume for a pressie for the wife!! Amazing what we find out about our ancestors and what we could tell them if we went back in time. Would welcome any feedback. Eileen. http://www.epfranchi.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/page1.htm
