Born 2 March 1826
Bapt 9 July 1826
Richard and Sarah Beddall, living Kingswinford parish
Esther Beddall
And the Richard "Brettell" is probably her brotherJoseph's son (motherless was sometimes seen as orphaned) Clicking on Joseph's name gives this text

On the 1841 next household looks like his inlaws Thomas Penn and wife Elizabeth and his son Richard Beddall aged 8 months...can't see Mary....did she die?"
