Will Summary And Research For Lydia Beenham 1834

 Will Proved 1834

Lydia Beenham, widow of John Beenham "late of New Windsor" in Berkshire.

Asks to be buried at Clewer, Bucks without any unnecessary pomp or expense.

All her stocks, securities, household furniture, goods chattels and effects to be equally divided between Thomas Burton of Clewer victualer, his wife Mary Ann who is the testator's sister, and his daughter Maria.

Executor Thomas Beenham.

She signed with a mark.

Witnessed by [T.S?] Francis, William [Beaver?] who made his mark only and Thomas Beenham.

NOTES:

Lydia appears on the 1833 Great Marlow parochial assessment of which I have the original assessor's working notebooks. She occupied a house, "shop" (typically this meant a separate workshop in the assessment not a retail shop) in Church Passage near the river. The property was valued at £5 a year.
