Im looking for more information on the Beck Family of Hanbury
My great great great grandfather was William Henry Beck who died sometime between 1857-1861 he was married to Elizabeth Kent. They had my great great grandmother Mary Emma Beck who was born in Birmingham in 1857. William had a uncle called Embury I believe. Elizabeth was living with Embury at the time of one census release
Any information would be greatly recieved I know that William was a builder/carpenter so perhaps he died in a building accident im not sure

HI,
What you do next depends to some extent on where you live. If you can get to Worcester Record Office you need to trawl the parish records of St. Mary's, Hanbury. If that is not practical then one of the LDS (Mormons) Family History Centres will get the microfilms for you. (About £5.50 per film if I remember rightly) You can use their readers too.
In addition, there is the Worcestershire Marriage Index which covers 1660-1837 so you can find every BECK marriage in the county, as it covers both bride and groom. This was created by BMSGH - the Birmingham & Midland Society for Genealogy & Heraldry. Only two hard copies exist, one at Worcester record office the other is in BMSGH's own library. Not available on the Internet postal applications can be obtained at http://www.bmsgh.org/search/Wo_marr_index.html.
BMSGH also has Worcestershire well covered for burials. See http://www.bmsgh.org/search/Wo_burial_index.html but you can also see the same burials with the CD set -The National Burial Index II.
As you push further back in time resources become much scarcer. Digging around the catalogues of county record offices becomes a must. Wills, inventories, enclosure awards, estate maps, Poor Relief and much more come to light. Also contacting other researchers, who may be relatives. Sometimes connections can be made because they are coming at the same problem from a different angle. So beside RootsChat use the RootsWeb email lists as well as the other boards, e.g.Genealogy.com., Ancestry.com and the other UK based boards. You never know where on earth relatives pop up from!
Good luck
Mike
