THERE IS FURTHER RESEARCH TO DO - A John Bacon was a witness at the wedding of William Bacon and Sarah Steel. A relative perhaps?

There are possible burials for William and Sarah Bacon in Beaumont but, unfortunately, no ages are mentioned on either of the records.

William and Sarah could well have had more children in Beaumont, or elsewhere, as there are some large gaps in their family.

At Great Oakley an Abraham Bacon, aged 86 years, was buried in April 1825 who could have been connected. He would have been born around 1739 so the right age to be a brother to William. Great Oakley seems to be a main parish in that part of Essex for Bacons.

BACON - According to a surname project based at the University College in London the surname of Bacon was derived from a nickname for a pork butcher. It was found mainly in East Anglia and the East Midlands with a few in the south of England but the largest concentration of the name appears to have been in Essex.
