The
Bethell Family
Of
Painswick Gloucestershire
Much of the
early Bethell information was received when I was
correspondening with Dr David Bethell
who had researched in depth the
Bethell family history and traced it back to the North
Wales King ,King Ithel of 775 ad and there some 17
derivatives of the family name Ithel Bithel Bythel Bethel
Bethell Abethel Abethell. Unfortunatly David passed
away on Dec 2000 Leicester
England.

Notes for THOMAS
BETHELL:
Record by Consistory Court of the Diocese of Gloucester
12 Dec. 1793: Mary Peglar a spinster of Painswick, brought
charges of defamation of character against Thomas Bethell,
a carpenter of Painswick. She alleged that in Sept, Oct,
and Nov 1793, he publicly accused her of committing the
crime of adultery with Nathaniel Holder of Painswick. He
had said to Nathaniel, "That the woman you keep company
and do go with ia as damned a whore as any in Painswick",
and, what was said was repeated before credible
witnesses "in an angry and reproachful manner". Thomas was
found guilty and "condemned in the costs of this suit' and
to appear before justices at a later date. Was it a case
of jealousy or malice, or that Thomas simply did not
substantiate his charges with credible evidence.
Notes for BRITANNIA
JONES:
By 7th June 1841, when the national census was made it
is likely that only one Bethell was living in Painswick.
That was Britannia nee Jones then aged 82years who had
been born at sea and married Thomas, a moralist and
accuser of one Mary Peglar, in Painswick in 1795.
Britannia moved to London soon after Thomas' death and
died at Clenkenwell in 1846.
