Re: George Beet about 1853 Leeds

Hi Gary,
Sorry about the delay in reply.
The Beet family who I am trying to trace are from Tickhill, Yorkshire 1853 George was born and I think married in Yorkshire then may have been transported to Aus and married again in 1881, leaving a family of wife (?) and children, Walter age 15 and Jasper W age 7 his parents were George Beet and Elizabeth Holmes this was from the 1881 census.

Strange coincidence Our Beet family in Australia lived in "Burnley" just out of Melbourne in Aus until the late 1990s

I have found another - William Beet arrived on the "Admiral Gambier" in 1811, married a Sarah Watson in Sydney in 1823 but can find no more about him in relation to my Beet family
