Rebecca CHEETHAM ^49,59

  Noted events in her life were:

• She owned property in 1825 in Calverton, Nottingham , England. When Rebecca's husband, Richard WYLD, died in 1825 at the age of 42, she was left to cope with bringing up their five children. The eldest, Ann, was only seven years old, and the youngest, Richard, had not long been born.
The plight of this family might well have prompted John WYLD, who was 81 years old, to rewrite his will and make provision to ensure that Rebecca and the children were looked after.
This provision was subject to her remaining unmarried. When she married James BEARDALL she no longer continued to receive income from the trust fund.
