With a Name like Unity ?????

[Sheila from Down Under]

Hello I have been trying to find Unity Beeney Born Wandsworth 1856, but I can't find a marriage, or death. With a name like Untiy I thought it would be a walk over , but no. So can I please have your help :o

On FreeBMD there are 3 entries for Unity Beeney, all in Reigate.

However, I can't find the birth you mention.

Could you give us more details to follow up?

I see from the 1871 census that they are living "in a caravan in Smith's Yard" and that father is a Hawker, so they seem to be gipsies/travellers.

This might just mean that the information isn't very accurate, as they probably had an unsettled existence.

[Elizabeth Herts]

Well, I have come to the conclusion that they evaded civil registration!

Elizabeth -the 1871 census is right that is them in the caravan in Smiths Yard. And I can't find Unity after that .I do Not have her BC, I know a bit about her siblings. but nothing that will help with Unity

Oh Oh Look at the image ( do you have access to ancestry?)

[Elizabeth Herts]

There are two families - one with a grown-up Unity and one minus a Unity!

Are the two Henrys father and son?

Good Morning Thank you for looking for Unity . My Untiy father was Heny Beeney Born 1831 in Marden Kent and I have her mother as Rebecca Smith born 1837 in Hadlow Kent. Untiy was the sister of Amy Rebecca Beeney, who was the first wife of John Fuller My G/Grandfather. Amy killed herself by jumping into the River Thames on 16 Nov : 1889 I now want to trace all the siblings, if I can
