So the 1859 date is a red herring?

Hi
Thanks for all these, currently decorating so only just come back, apologies for delay!
Zoe, I wouldn't get too hung up on spelling, Bellenger/Bellinger both were often used in the records I've found relating to my family.
I cannot be 100% sure this Francis Bellinger is a relative. I do have the Francois/Francis b.1776, so could be him in old age, was hoping there'd be a newspaper report to confirm this or otherwise, before going searching for the doc at LMA. The Francis born in Marylebone is unrelated, and in any case as stated still alive 1861.

Yes that's right Zoe, William Clemetson worked on road round the corner and his brother John Clemetson had a Grocers and Tea shop on Upper Thames Street, two or three streets away. Their uncle Peter Clemetson had a clipper in Whitehaven, which is I'm guessing why they moved down to London and who supplied them! I've always theorised that this is probably how Julia Clemetson met George, through his uncle and her father... tragic though their match turned out to be.
