Requested a look up on this marriage...

Marriage 1848
BEET Elizabeth NEWMAN William O Rowley Regis, St Giles Sandwell Register Office 18/1/394

[dianel]

Found this - "When John Beet died in 1844 Rowley Hall and the estate passed to his only daughter ( Elizabeth)who was unmarried. She married the Rev William Abiah Newman, a widower,curate of St Georges Wolverhampton, in May 1848, they did not live at the Hall but in Cape Town S.A until 1855 and then at Warfield Hall, Warfield, Co Bucks. As stated above Margaret Beet widow and stepmother of Elizabeth was still at the Hall in 1851.It was stipulated in the will of John Beet that she should be able to live at the Hall for her lifetime. The will also stated that should Elizabeth marry the estate would pass to her husband, should she predecease him, and then their children. Should there be no children £3000 should be raised from the estate and given to the Grandchildren of John Beets cousin Richard Beet. This will was contested by William Abiah when Elizabeth died in 1855 but judgement was found in favour of the 4 grandchildren of Richard Beet so presumably the £3000 had to be raised from the estate and paid to them."

My 4x Great -grandfather, father of Thomas who is on BCC, was Richard Beet of Nuneaton. I wonder if this was the same Richard refferred to in the will? I don't have much info on him, he married Mary Reeve at Weddington, Nuneaton in 1761.
