Title | Bean Family History by Willoughby John Bean |
Abstract | A notebook with biographies of many members of the Bean family, mostly from WJB's memory of them. There is also a good description of farming at the time.
Probably written out by someone else, as it is dated January 1939 and WJB died October 1938.
To try to fit the names into a simple Bean Family tree, see AFM_FBN .
These notes complement History of the Bean Family by Catherine Francis Burgess née Bean (CFB).
The booklet has been loaned to the Museum by the Brook family - the family lived in West Mersea Hall in the 1950s - as had WJB many years earlier.
