Horatio Henry Millin

A new cousin has been found when I transcribed the will of William Millin the husband of Elizabeth Beard (sister to my 3x great grandmother Mary Beard who was married to Christy Buller). Horatio was born 12 Oct 1810 and baptized 11 Nov 1810 at St Saviour, Bermondsey. He married Martha Wood 29 Jul 1832 at St Mary Magdalen, Bermondsey and thus far I have found seven children. The names of the daughters are interesting - Martha Mary and Emma. This is the second set in this generation using the names Martha and Emma. In my Buller family there is Martha Sarah and Emma Hemsley. The Hemsley is easy as that was the maiden name of Henry Beard (father of both Elizabeth and Mary (as well as Sarah))'s first wife Elizabeth Hemsley.

Looking at the early Beard families in St Mary Magdalen parish register the wifes have names Martha, Emma, Sarah and Ann. Is there a clue here to help us find the parents of Henry Beard? Will all of this searching on collateral lines lead to information on Christy Buller who was born around 1764 but no idea yet where or to whom. In William Millin's will he is being entrusted with executorship of a large sum of money. Actually Christy is buried in 1832 when Henry Horatio is just 22 years old so Horatio would have just obtained his majority when Christy died.

I need to try to find a burial for Elizabeth Millin and did find one in 1853 at Rotherhithe St Mary, Southwark, Surrey, England. I couldn't find a will though for her or for Horatio Henry Millin.

I spent some time trying to locate Christy (Christopher perhaps) Buller's baptism and marriage to Mary Beard but no luck yet.

I trranscribed the will of William Millin which proved to be rather interesting.
