Beadle

call on Beadle 5.1.1805

Could have referred to a beadle (official of a parish, court, ward, city company or other institution) but it was also a surname, fairly common in Kent, and Godwin used a capital B. James Beadle advertised his Irish Linen & Sheeting warehouse at 9 Commerce Row, Gt Surrey St (on Surrey side of Blackfriars Bridge) in Morning Chronicle 22.6.1803 and insured it Sun Fire 1803. William Beadle of Dartford was a lottery winner in 1802. Thomas Beadle was at 13 Braziers Bldgs Fleet Mkt (Sun Fire 1803) and had a butcher's shop at 29 Fleet Mkf and lived at 9 Seacoal La St Sepulchre in 1813 (Old Bailey Online). William Beadle was a victualler at the Angel Fleet Market (Sun Fire 1807). Having called on Luntley (qv) and mrs Hill (see Hill, Primrose St) the nearest Beadle might have been Beadle, cordwainer 128 Bishopsgate without, but he was insured Sun Fire back in 1794
