Bellamy or Bellarmy

Published: December 15, 2005    Last modified: February 15, 2017

Earlier this year I obtained the England and Wales Census 1901 return for the household of Joseph BELLAMY 1857-Deceased. This is an outline of my transcription:

FHJ Ref: 025
Census: England and Wales Census 1901
Place: 156 Martin Street, Sheffield, Yorkshire
Household: Joseph Bellamy

Studying in more detail this information, I realise my previous research is probably flawed. To read my earlier post please click here. I have a copy of the marriage certificate for George Albert BELLAMY 1880-Deceased and Emily BELLAMY (née Emily ELLIS 1883-1978) so I can validate George Albert BELLAMY 1880-Deceased's father being recorded as Joseph BELLAMY 1857-Deceased and his mother as Mary Ann BELLAMY (née Mary Ann TURNER 1861-Deceased).

Searching the England and Wales Census 1881 I realise the problem is quite simple; BELLAMY is now BELLARMY.

FHJ Ref: 026
Census: England and Wales Census 1881

Searches on FreeCEN returns zero results.

Notes:
I will add a note to my earlier posts expressing my doubts as to the accuracy of the data.

Sarah Anne Hillman

Just to confuse matters, another Sarah Anne BELLAMY, by marriage. Though I note 'Anne' with an 'e'.

Marriages Dec 1888
BELLAMY William Henry, Ecclesall B
HILLMAN Sarah Anne, Ecclesall B

Frederick Rotherham: Death

Published: April 18, 2005    Last modified: November 14, 2016

I may have solved the Frederick ROTHERHAM problem. I found an entry for March 1887 recording the death of a Frederick ROTHERHAM, the age at death is given as 28 years. Now this would explain why when I ran searches on the England and Wales Census 1901 against Frederick and Sarah Ann ROTHERHAM (née BELLAMY), predicted dates did not agree. I am still using conjecture, but will trust it for the time being. Of course there is still the problem of little Frederick ROTHERHAM, who according to the England and Wales Census 1891 would have been born in 1888 or 1889.

Sarah Ann Bellamy: Marriage

Published: April 18, 2005    Last modified: May 22, 2022

I found a marriage for Sarah Ann BELLAMY:

Heeley Church Parish Registers 1891-1895
Marriage entry - September 1894
29. By Rev W Odom, Alfred SHORE to Sarah Ann BELLAMY

Unfortunately no addresses are given.

I have spent quite a few hours trying to match Sarah Ann BELLAMY and Frederick ROTHERHAM. Results obtained for Frederick ROTHERHAM and Sarah ROTHERHAM have left me more confused than ever; dates and ages do not concur. So this latest reference to Sarah Ann BELLAMY leaves me more intrigued than ever. I may have to bow to the inevitable, spend money, and obtain the full England and Wales Census 1901 entries or obtain appropriate certificates. Of course conjecture just breeds more conjecture so I will ponder this for a while.

George Bellamy

Another search of the England and Wales Census 1901 establishes a George BELLAMY age 62 and gives his occupation as 'General Carter and Grocer'. This is undoubtedly my gg Grandfather, since his date of birth is compatible with my GEDCOM.

George Bellamy, 62, Yorks, Sheffield, General Carter & Grocer

So we have a Grocer in the family!

Ada Buttery (née Ada Bellamy)

Applying the same criteria to Ada BELLAMY as I did to Blanche BELLAMY, I searched the England and Wales Census 1901. I could not find an entry for Ada GREAVES and just one entry for Ada BUTTERY.

Ada Buttery, 27, Sheffield, Yorkshire

The recorded age of 27 years for Ada BUTTERY corresponds with that of Ada BELLAMY, so for the time being I think I can assume that John Elizabeth BUTTERY is a transcription mistake, or a use of 'Elizabeth' that I have not come across before.

Blanche Crookes (née Blanche Bellamy)

Published: April 17, 2005    Last modified: November 7, 2016

In order to corroborate the husband of Blanche BELLAMY I searched the England and Wales Census 1901 on 'first name', 'gender', 'approximate age' and 'where born'.

This entry would seem to confirm previous results which produced the names 'William CARTER' and 'Henry CROOKES':

Blanche CROOKES, 36, Sheffield, Nether Hallam, Yorkshire

I think it is reasonably safe to add the surname CROOKES to my GEDCOM.

Ada Bellamy

So having traced Sarah Ann BELLAMY and Blanche BELLAMY it seemed pertinent to search for Ada BELLAMY. The following record seems to establish some names worth researching.

Marriages September 1896
BELLAMY Ada, Sheffield
BUTTERY John Elizabeth, Sheffield
GREAVES Thomas, Sheffield
WEBSTER Gertrude, Sheffield

If this is a record of Ada's marriage then this would establish her being approximately 22 years of age. I now need to establish if one of the above is her husband. John Elizabeth BUTTERY should be quite a challenge!

Blanche BELLAMY is certainly an easy name to research! Only 1 marriage is recorded in the Sheffield area.

Marriages March 1889
BELLAMY Blanche, Sheffield
BUCK Lilly, Sheffield
CARTER William, Sheffield
CROOKES Henry, Sheffield

Once again I think it is safe to assume this is the Blanche BELLAMY I am searching for. I now need to establish which gentleman (if indeed either of the two) is her husband.
