My research shows that George Beaney and his family (the spelling of
their name varies) were living in Canterbury for the 1861 and 1881
censuses, where he worked as a sawyer. He is recorded as an ‘Inn Keeper’
in the Ash Parish register for the baptism of their daughter Elizabeth E
Beaney at Ash in 1871. *
My particular interest is in James Beaney (1828-91) the younger brother
of George (1826-97). James had a rags to riches life story, rising from
poverty to become a doctor with the Melbourne, Australian title of
Honourable. He left a £10,000 bequest to build an Institute in
Canterbury which opened in 1899 and houses our public library plus a
museum. It is currently being refurbished and extended. *
