Richard Blechynden White - maternal ancestors

[Phoenix]

This is the marriage of William White to Maria Beal in 1834:

The witnesses Pamela Charity Newman and John Street subsequently married and may well have been friends, rather than relations.


Maria appears to have been the daughter of John Beal:

She is baptised 30 August 1813. John is a seamn of Spring Street, and no mother is mentioned.


This appears to be her parents' marriage: John Beal to Mary Stroud in October 1812

The witnesses were Emma Sexton, who could write, but of whom I find no further mention, and James Bridger, who may have been the James who married Sophia Saxey at St Marys Portsea in 1822. He was a seaman, living in 1842 in Chance Row.


John and Mary then vanish from the scene. John had been a widower when he married. I can find no other children for them, nor their deaths.


Anyone have any better luck?
