Bean Family History by Willoughby John Bean
[ Alexander contd. ] good income but latterly he had bad health. He seems to have moved to Wanstead near Epping, I do not think he disposed of the business then as there were some accounts of the exectorship, Mrs Bean and a friend a Mr Kinnard.
Kinnard seems to have been a chemist, with as in those days a clientele of ladies who had their hair dressed and a stock of cosmetics. In Mrs Ann Bean's diary there are frequent items of this for preparing the two girls Emily and Louisa for balls and Kinnard's bills were larger than the school bills for Samuel Edwin.
amongst other things Willoughby Lacy owed Mrs Bean after Alexander died £5,000 for loans and Mrs Bean was eventually glad to take £500 for this Lacy was a bad lot. Alexander died at Wanstead and his tombstone was in evidence 40 years ago.
