IDENTITY: Alice Bellamy( nee Parsons) wife of Thomas Bellamy, of St. Paul's Street, Stamford. Alice was born at Edith Weston, Rutlandshire, in c. 1811. In the 1841 census she was unmarried and living in St. Pauls Street, Stamford, as a servant to Harriet Hurst, an unmarried woman of independent means who lived in a house with three female servants and one male servant, the latter happening to be Thomas Bellamy, aged 30.
Thomas and Alice were still living in St Paul's Street in the 1851 census, and still working for Harriet Hurst, 'lady'. Thomas was Harriet's footman, and Alice was the housekeeper in charge of three maids.Visiting the house were Harriet's sister, Sarah Berry, aged 55, and Sarah's husband, retired surgeon Titus Berry.
Thomas Bellamy and Alice Parsons were finally married, after living under the same roof for more than ten years, on August 5, 1852. They were married at St. Pancras Church in London, with witnesses George Smith and Elizabeth Sawdey. Thomas's father was noted as being Thomas Bellamy, dead, and Alice's as Thomas Parsons, also deceased.
The Bellamys continued to work for Harriet Hurst for many years. They were at home in St Paul's Street in the 1861 census, but Harriet herself was in London staying with her sister Sarah Berry and her husband Titus Berry.
The 1871 census finds Harriet at home in St Pauls Street,Stamford, aged 68 and still a spinster. Her brother-in-law Titis Berry had died, and her sister Sarah was living with her.Her faithful servants, Thomas and Alice Bellamy, were still working for her as butler and housekeeper, aged 62 years.Also living in the Hurst residence were two ladies' maids, a cook, a kitchen maid and a footman!
In 1881, Thomas and Alice were aged in their early seventies, and finally living in their own home in Rutland Terrace, Stamford. Thomas was stated as being a retired gentleman's servant, and he and Alice had their own servant,27 year old Eliza Waterfield. Their mistress, Harriet Hurst, had died in 1880, leaving a fortune of over seventy thousand pounds to be distributed by her executors.Being a spinster she left many very generous bequests to medical institutions such as five thousand pounds to the London Hospital and three thousand pounds to the Stamford and Rutland Hospitals, to name but a few.I imagine that she would have left some bequest to the Bellamys, them having served her for over forty years.It is interesting that the Bellamys were living in Rutland Terrace in the year after Harriet Hurst's death, as Harriet's mother, Elizabeth Isabella Hurst, had lived in Rutland Terrace until her death in 1856.
Seventy eight year old Alice Bellamy died in Stamford in 1888, and her husband Thomas died in 1893, aged 83 years.
