Note on Husband: George BEARDSHAW (1) - shared note

Sheffield Mercury 10 August 1822

Entry in Sheffield Mercury 10 August 1822. Although the name is not mentioned other evidence indicates the following entry relates to JONATHAN BEARDSHAW of the Ball Inn - Hawley Croft (See Reminisenses of Sheffield

"Yesterday afternoon, a respectable couple, inhabitants of this town, presented their EIGTH AND TWENTIETH CHILD at the batismal font of the Parish Church. They have been married about 20 years, and the mother has been delivered of a child every

succeding ten months. A very respectable surgeon in this town can bear testimony to this fact, having himself attended her at every birth except one, and on this occasion he happened to be away from home. There have been no twins, and the eldest and youngest are the only children now living."

So George was born around 1802/3 and Jonathan in 1822
