Thank you Kucinta!

Nothing around that time except a Mary Bebbington of Crewe in 1879, who was the widow of a George Bebbington, and had been the widow Arscott when she married him.

Thank you Kutchinta.

Ralph Brett is my distant uncle, and he committed suicide in 1884; I have a newspaper article which was written by Ralph stating Jane BEBBINGTON was to play for the lack of payment of a dividend.

And, Ralph's brother, my ancestor Thomas attempted suicide on the farm of his nephew James Bebbington also in 1884, at Colley's Lane, Willaston, Nantwich.

James wrote to the caught (as Thomas appeared for attempted suicide despite being 78) stating Thomas had a 'great spite' against him, and it seems Thomas attempt on his life was to 'frame' his nephew for the murder.

All quite intriuging.

Can I ask for a look up of Joseph Bebbington seniors wife? So for clarity, there are two Joseph Bebbington's here (father and son). The father's wife was MAry Bebbington who was a sister of Thomas and Ralph Brett. I wonder if she made a will, and I think she may have died in 1881.

Thank you,

Peter

James (1830) is NOT the one living in Staffordshire in 1901

Have you actually searched for deaths on freebmd?

Please note that the info posted by Mike is slightly inaccurate

The names on the Probate records are those of the executors of the Wills....NOT the beneficiaries

Hi there, and thank you Mike the death of Joseph in Jan. Quarter 1900 isn't my Joseph. After all, his 'wife' died in September 1900, leaving money to her husband.

I think the Jan 1900 death refers to a suicide of another Joseph Bebbington, a corn merchant who had a large family who had a wife named Hannah (coincidentally), hence the confusion with other researchers I suspect.

With this, can you spot this Joseph Bebbington in the 1901 and 1911 census?

And also, Martha Bebbington in the 1901 and 1911 census also?

Thank you,

Peter
