    3. I am trying to find please the given name of a Beavitt child born to Mary and what happen to her Husband Joseph Beavitt? Mary Gager and Joseph Beavitt married 29 September 1794 in St Martin in the field London. A letter to the Bank of England in mid 1816 says Mary is 55 years old which means her last child in 1807 was born when she was 45/46. If Mary had a child born before 1794 it would have been of adult age by 1816. If her age is wrong in the letter [ticket of leave says she was a native of Lynn Norfolk, the only baptism in Lynn is in 1771] then there is a chance of another child being born after 1807. In 1816 Mary Beavitt wrote just before being transported "with a family of 5 children unprovided for owing to the Illness of my Husband and a Rheumatic Disease [4 of which must go with me the other one my friends support" The four children who went with Mary were Sarah baptised 1800 St Mary Lambeth Surrey,an the next 3 baptised in St Martin's in the field London Mary Ann 1802 , Isabella 1804 and Joseph 1807 . There was a older daughter Mary Ann baptised in 1795 St Martin in the field London no burial record found but assumed dead by 1802 when younger sister given the same name and a son George who was baptised in Christ church Surrey [29 Nov, maybe 1797] and it appears buried [the word is blacken] [3 Sept year unknown] . I can't make out the year of the events but the ancestry records state they are from 1790-1801. With regards to the husband I haven't found a burial. There was a second Joseph Beavitt in the records who married in 1899 to Elizabeth Bright, I can't make out the parish. Both were on their first marriage. Then there is a marriage in the parish of St Bride 1825 to a Sarah Caroline Mitton of a Joseph Beavitt widower. I don't know if Elizabeth Beavitt died but wondered if Mary's husband may have remarried stating he was a widower.There is a burial of a Sarah Beavitt in Bloomsbury in 1830 aged 31 years. Is this burial near the parish of the 1825 marriage? The son Joseph came back to England for a brief time around 1822. His sister Sarah isn't found in Australia records after her arrival. If she came back to England the burial in 1830 could be her. Joseph the father was a publican. He is listed in the poll books of 1806 at St Martins in the field at Russell Place and on his son's George's baptism in Surrey as a virtualler Karen Australia
