Sources needed

Question

Beatrice apparently lived 1107 -1150 in England. Can anyone help with sources for this profile? Anything that helps in confirming the fact is greatly appriciated

Answer 1

1. The Complete Peerage, by Cokayne, Vol. VIII, p. 248.
2.  Douglas Richardson, Royal Ancestry, Vol. III, p. 214-215.

These are the sources used by Mr. Marlyn Lewis, a scholar on Medieval genealogy, at Our Royal, Titled, Noble, and Commoner Ancestors & Cousins.

 

I often use The Dictionary of National Biography - a great free resource. The Online Books Page gives links to Google and Internet Archive for each book and shows which names, alphabetically, appear in the volume.

In Volume 39, page 169, 2nd column, 3rd line from the top, Beatrice is named and her father.

Answer 2

This isn't much, but it gives evidence of her, husband & a son:

 

Dictionary of National Biography, Volumes 1-20, 22 about Richard de Morville

Name: Richard de Morville Death Date: 1189 Father's Name: Hugh de Morville Mother's name: Beatrice de Beauchamp

 

Comments

Thank you Douglas, a good start to documenting one of our problem profiles.

Answer 3

Here is another way to get the same results as the previous answer:

 

I have had good success by searching for the husband and the wife at the same time. In this case, do an internet search for Beatrice Beauchamp Hugh Morville. This searches all the old books at Google Books. It also helps find others researching the same people.

 

This specific search pulls up Volume 39 of the "The Dictionary of National Biography" published in 1894.

 

Hope this helps.
