Thank you both.
So Winifred was married before and a widow at 24 then she married Edward Beaman.

Regarding Margaret, the 1911 census has her birth as 1897, but 1901 census as 1894.

Definitely know that John Edward was 1899. Wish he would have talked about his family, but you couldn't draw him on anything. When he died in 1970, understand that a brother came to the funeral but not Margaret.

Could this possibly be Winifred and Family in 1851?? Irish accent talking to a Yorkshireman

If this is the correct birth reg. for Clara and the marriage posted by ErikaH is correct then Winifred was previously married?

Margaret was born 1894 at the latest

Winifred was married BEFORE she married Edward

Event Type: Marriage
Birth Year: abt 1853
Marriage Date: 19 Mar 1877
Marriage Place: Batley, All Saints, Yorkshire, Englan

Father: John Tansey
Spouse: Edward Bamen

Possibly be Margaret's mother as in 1897 she would have been 17/18. Wonder if the marriage had to be due to pregnancy. definitely not mother of Thomas.
Found that Edward Beaman married a Winifred (according to birth of Sarah, mother's maiden name was Tanzie but could be a Tansey if misspelt).

For info - and to help others

Balaclava Terrace, West Ardsley, Wakefield, Yorkshire & Yorkshire (West Riding), England

Edward Beaman Head Married Male 24 1857 Coal Miner Stafford, Staffordshire, England
Winifred Beaman Wife Married Female 28 1853 - Leeds, Yorkshire, England
Clara Beaman Daughter Single Female 1 1880 - Leeds, Yorkshire, England

Neither Thomas nor Margaret can be Clara's children unless she was giving birth at the age of approx 13

Yes she was born in 1879/1880, so 1891 census would be correct.
Looks like the 1901 census filled in wrongly' maybe to make Thomas look legitimate?

Hi ErikaH
1901 Census. Ah, spellings make all the difference!
Thank you so much.

Clara's age is wrong in 1901, if this is correct

Thank you.
Will have a look at both of them.
Ancestry seems good with the trial period.
If you are willing to help (but please don't go out of your way) then any info on:
John Davison b1873, Seaham Harbour.
Think he died in 1907 in Tynemouth.
Know about his parents, Matthew and Isabella and siblings.
Mainly info on:
He married Clara Beaman in Sunderland in 1896.
They had Thomas (b1890 or 1894 Seaham Harbour or Nostel) (think to a different wife as Cara would be too young at 11/15 and unmarried or maybe?).
Margaret Ann Davison (b1897 Royston, Barnsley).
William Davison (b1898 Crofton, Wakefield).
John Edward Davison (b1899, Monk Bretton, Barnsley).
Know about John Edward as grandfather but he wouldn't talk about his family, so all a blank about others.
They don't come up on Genes on any searches we've done and visited Rotherham archives and no mention there.
Only know as a child that Aunty Maggie used to visit, so assume it was Margaret Ann Davison.
Have written down the 1901 census for the family, but it doesn't come up on Genes at all. There was John, Clara, Thomas, Margaret, John Edward, William, Edward Beaman (father in law), Winifred Beaman (mother in law), Sarah Beaman (eventual Sarah Roper).
Know in 1911 that John Edward was living with Edward Beaman and Winifred Beaman (though she died in April 1911) at 2 Tusmore St, Rotherham. We've info on 1911 for Clara and family.
Don't know what happened to John and Clara after 1901 except they were no longer together and think John went back to the North East (possibly parents). Clara married a John Edward Trueman (lots of info on this now from another member).
Much appreciated what you have done so far.
Just a point in the right direction will do. Don't expect you to do all the work.

I use both Find my Past and Ancestry.co.uk

Both cost over £100 per year, although you can get a two week free trial with Ancestry if you register your credit card with them. Don't forget to cancel if you go down that route!

But people on here love to help, so unless you particularly want to find the info yourself, (many people do) post your specific queries and see what happens

Hi ErikaH
Anything you would recommend that is better than Genes?

Genes is not the best place for research
Most people just have basic membership here and use it as a sounding board.
