  • Notes 
    • George Beamish (born 1812)were married Frances Anne Hornibrook (born 1825) 20 Aug 1857 at Knockavilly, County Cork, Ireland.
      George was the son of Thomas Beamish. Frances Ann was the daughter of John Thomas Hornibrook
      And Ellenor Wiseman.
      George and Frances Ann had three daughters Maria Frances Beamish (born 1859), Ellen Wiseman Beamish (born 1861) and Mary Georgina Beamish (born 1866). All were born at Bandon, County Cork, Ireland.

      In “A New BEAMISH Book complied by Charles Beamish” it says
      George c-28 Mar 1812 Ballymodan; Par-Thomas = ?; m-20 Aug 1857 Brinny Frances Anne HORNIBROOK dau of John Thomas Hornibrook of Rockfort; d-1898 Lambeth 1d 282. Farmed Mt Meehan, nr Bandon. C-Maria Frances, Ella, Mary Georgina (25)
      Ella b-c1860; Par-George = Frances A HORNIBROOK; m-? DESPARD (25)
      Maria Frances Par-George = Frances HORNIBROOK; m-? DESPARD (25)
      Mary Georgina (Bertie) c-21 Jun 1866; Par-George = Frances A HORNIBROOK; m-1897 Newtownards Dr Hugh BENNETT. As a widow living Bangor, Co Down in 1937. (25)

      I think Mary and Maria spouses were reversed.
      I found where Ellen Wiseman Beamish married Vernon Davys Despard in 1894 at Bandon, County Cork, Ireland and had a son George Francis Despard in 1895 at Newtownards, County Down, Ireland.
      Mary Georgina Beamish married Francis Green Despard on 31 Aug 1897 at Newtownards, County Down, Ireland. They had a son William Beamish Despard there on 28 Dec 1900 and died 09 Jan 1901.

      Vernon Davys Despard (born 1860) and Francis Green Despard (born 1863) were sons of William Francis Despard (1824-1904) and Ann Reed Davys(1830-1864). All of County Down, Ireland.

      If the Beamish Book is correct but slightly reversed Maria Frances Beamish must have married Dr Hugh Bennett at Newtownards, County Down, Ireland.
