William Bellamy 1824- and Emma Bradshaw 1830-

The birth certificate I obtained for George Albert BELLAMY 1880- helped me confirm his mother to be one Emma BRADSHAW 1830-, born circa 1830 and at the time of Joseph's birth in 1857, living at Castle Yard, Sheffield, Yorkshire.

The 1841 Census of England and Wales returns an 11 year old Emma BRADSHAW living with her parents William BRADSHAW and Elizabeth BRADSHAW in the Walkley district of Sheffield. William and Elizabeth were both born circa 1801.

Though I am once again in the realms of conjecture, my research does have an air of authority that is worth pursuing.

William BELLAMY has proved a little more difficult. My research has revealed several BELLAMYs whom are worth researching further, though at this time I cannot even propose a convincing hypothesis.
