Hello Megan
I would like to dispute that the Thomas b. 1846 to William & Ellen as being the husband of Minnie Norton.
I have found the marriage for Thomas & Minnie in the Maitland parish films and can confirm his parents as being Thomas Bellamy & Margaret Clarke.
The Thomas belonging to William & Ellen actually died 24 Dec 1846 and buried in the General Cemetery of Wollombi aged 11m.
Thomas & Margaret Bellamy nee Clarke m. 1843 in Maitland district and had a dau Priscilla in Maitland 1842. I was lucky enough to find the baptisms for their other children from a book found and filmed at the end of the parish film
these include:
Dennis b. Apr 1842 Bellevue Paterson ch. 15 Dec 1861 Paterson
John b. Jul 1846 " ch. "
Mary b. Oct 1848 " ch. "
Thomas b.28 Jul 1851 " ch. "
James b. Mar 1853 ch. "
Margaret b. Feb 1856 " ch. "
Richard Clark " b. (month hard to read) 1858 " ch. "
both Thomas & Margaret are buried in the Campbells Hill Cemetery in West Maitland (1892 & 1890 respectively)
I'm surprised this mistake has never been picked up on long before this....
My tree does contain William & Ellen's descendants and I have been researching for a friend who has a Thomas Bellamy & wife Caroline I M Chapman (m. 1881 Maitland) in her tree, which doesn't seem to tie in with either of the above two families.
I am trying to find their marriage on Maitland films to find out their parentage etc.
Please feel free to pass this on to any other Bellamy researchers.
Kind regards
Heather Macdonald

First Baron Scrope of Masham
SCROPE, HENRY le, first Baron Scrope of Masham (1315-1391), was the eldest son of Sir Geoffrey le Scrope [q. v.], by his first wife, Ivetta de Roos. Born in 1315, he won his spurs early at Halidon Hill (19 July 1333). Just before his father's death in 1340 he fought at Sluys, and, after making the Scottish campaign of 1341, he accompanied Edward III to Brittany in the next year; after which he served in Ireland under Ralph d'Ufford, and then accompanied the king to Flanders in 1345. Scrope is said to have fought as a banneret both at Cressy (26 Aug. 1346) and Neville's Cross (17 Oct.). This may be doubted. He was certainly present at the siege of Calais (1346-7). During the truces he was chiefly employed on the Scottish border, but took part in August 1350 in the famous sea-fight off Winchelsea, known as Espagnols-sur-la-Mer. A few months later (25 Nov.) he was summoned to parliament as Lord Scrope. The designation ‘of Masham’ first appears when the representatives of the elder line came to sit in the House of Lords, no doubt for distinction. In 1355 Scrope went to Picardy with the king, and returned with him on the news of the loss of Berwick. For three years he was almost exclusively occupied on the border, but in 1359 he proceeded to Gascony, and next year figured with five other Scropes in Edward III's demonstration before Paris. Peace being made, he took up (18 Feb. 1361) the onerous post of warden of Calais and Guisnes, which he apparently held until his appointment as joint warden of the west march towards Scotland (1370) and steward of the household (1371). At Calais he had frequently conducted important negotiations, and as late as July 1378 was sent on a mission to the king of Navarre. He sat on the committee of the upper house appointed to confer with the commons in the Good parliament; was on the first council of Richard II's minority, and continued to attend parliament down to 1381. Spending his last years in retirement, he died on 31 July 1391, and was buried in York minster. Scrope increased the family estates both in and out of Yorkshire, where he acquired Upsal Castle, near Thirsk, the seat of a family of that name down to 1349, which gave a second territorial designation to some of his descendants. All that is known of his wife is that she was called Joan (? Upsal, cf. Testamenta Eboracensia, iii. 32). They had five or six sons, of whom the fourth, Richard (1350?-1405) [q. v.], was archbishop of York, and two daughters.
