Hi Kay

Information on his siblings would be great!

I only have information on him, some on his wife, Elizabeth, and some information on his children.

I know he had a son, also named Thomas:

Thomas Bean
Baptised: 4 March 1738 at North Hayling
Married: 22 July 1762 to Mary Jacobs at <st1:place w:st="on">South Hayling</st1:place>.

I have information that one Thomas Bean was a clock maker at Hayling, but i'm unsure which one it was, or if it was a family business/trade.

I have also been informed that a Thomas Bean was a member of Captain Cook’s crew on his third journey (12-7-1776 to 4-10-1780) to the Pacific Ocean and that he brought back to Englanda spear that was thrown into the boat when Captain Cook was killed by natives in the Hawaiian Islands. The spear now bears the note, "thrown into the boat when Captain Cook was murdered, brought to England by Thomas Bean, whose wife was nurse to Thomas Green, and gave it to her Master".

Again, I'm not sure if this is one of 'my' Thomas Beans or not.

Thank you for your help, and your time.
