Hi all,

Girls I hope i'm not sending you on a wild goose chas.
The Younger Christopher I have was C. Wilson Bedford born around 1829/1831. Married to Anna Hessel born about the same time., Daughter Frances born 1854. He was baptised 24/7/1836 at Al Hallows, Lombard Street, London. Died 1899. Does this help. I don't have anymore info on his Father/Mother other that what I said. His son was Horace who married Sarah DREW>.


Loverly morning here, I'm back to shorts and slippers.

Have been to the doctors this morning. Bloods and B Pressure which was 110 over 70. The nurse said it was the BP of a 21 year old. I said I wish I felt 21. !!!

What great news about the Ryder cup. Also Spurs beat Man United.It only wants my West Ham to win tonight and then I would have had a great weekend.

I trust you are all well, Enjoy your shopping mel. Mel, if you look at my tree, you will see the Christopher I am talking about. If anyone else needs access to my tree just say so and I will do it.

Have replied Mandy and EM Mel.

Frank I don't seem to have your tree anymore otherwise I would have had a look.

Have had a blitz on the kitchen and it's sparkling now, another good thing about being on my own, it will stay like that for quite a while :-D

All this research is getting me in the mood to restart mine but will probably have to subscribe to Ancestry again.

Hoiday is in just over two weeks time, I keep looking at the weather forecast for Tenerife, still nice and warm but rain seems to appear quite a lot. Yes I have Frank's discs will forward them to you Mandy. Have sent you a PM

I found this on the death of Christopher and Betsey's daughter if you don't have it Frank.She was only 12 years old. I also have the addresses of her parents when she was born and when she died if you want them?

Name:Betsey Bedford

Father's Name:Christopher Bedford
Mother's Name:Betsy Farmer

Death Date:18 Jun 1862
Death Place:Bethnal Green, London, England

Oh it was a 'ship agent' then Mel.........I couldn't make out the 'ship' ! lol :-D

Yes I wasn't sure about that one Mandy as I didn't see a date of death for the first one. Sadly the second FRANCES ELIZABETH BEDFORD who was born 18/1/1854 also died 18/3/1854.

Isabella was Christopher Bedford's daughter.......she named her son Christopher. Apparently she was known as 'Belle'. I must remember that if ever I'm searching for a 'Belle'!

It is confusing.......lots of BEDFORDS with the middle name WILSON too!

Afternoon all.

It is sunny here at the moment but we did have rain first thing.

I see you have the bug and are helping each other out with the census.When you get your teath (not mine ) into something it is hard to let go.I have been on my main Pc up stairs got carried away and forgoT to have lunch..Also it wAS COLD UP THERE. WHOOPS CAPTS.. I will let you carry on.My hubby has paid for the subscription on Ancest*y again for me..

Pat thats good you have Ancestry again.

So Charles Bedford the Ship Agent was born in Bristol! and also his wife!

Hi Pat, speaking of teeth......how are yours now? did you get them fixed ok? I think I will be dreaming 'BEDFORD's tonight, but have taken a break for now as I get so I seem to keep looking at the same stuff. lol.

MIL has had her pre op done.....took 2 hours and they are a bit concerned about her swollen legs so have done an xray. A neighbour took them to see the consultant last time as they had an appointment the same day, so OH thought they would know which entrance to go in.....NO and they hadn't brought the map they were sent either, so he said he was going in circles for a bit, took them where they thought it was, but when they got inside they said it wasn't!! Eventually OH found the right entrance. Nowadays there isn't just one at big hospitals.

Frank, if you are around, which of Christopher's children are you descended from?

Mel..Im please I have ancestry again.

Ann..Im off to the dentist in the morning..They may have to be sent away to be mended..I dont know at the moment whether to have a new denture..see what she says..

I need them before the beg of Nov as I am away in Lanzoroti,,

Is it Maureen off to Tenereffe soon

It is looking like the one Mel. Here is the same man in......
