John Bester ( 1801 - 1833 ) UK flag

Son of William Bester (who was born around 1768) and Mary Allen (who was born around 1771) and who were married on 1794.12.09 in Great Eversden, Cambridge, England


1801.04.05 John was christened in Little Eversden, Cambridge, England ( unconfirmed: source is IGI extracted record, batch: C138121, FHL Call No: 1040470, Father: William Bester, Mother: Mary )

1821.10.07 (about) John was married in Little Eversden, Cambridge, England ( unconfirmed: source is IGI extracted record, batch: M138121, FHL Call No: 1040470, Groom: John Bester, Bride: Mary Constable )

Mary Constable ( c1804 - 18?? ) UK flag

John is not with the rest of the family on the 1841 census and on the 1851 and beyond Mary is flagged as a widow. I can find no entry in the IGI for John's death. I've seen a burial date of 01 JUL 1833 in other people's trees but no source for it.

Decendants of John Bester:

John (1824), James (1827), Lydia (1831), Charles (1833)
