William BEECH born in Kent, England

[Ross2014]

Hello,

I’m trying to find details for William BEECH and/or his parents in England. He was born in Kent according to the records I have and his parents were George BEECH and Annie SIMMONS according to his death record.

I started this topic: http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=688772.0 on the Australia forum, trying to find details at that end that might help identify them in England. So far, they have been very elusive.


I have the following details from records I’ve obtained:

Source: Birth Record, Eliza BEECH (daughter), 24 Aug 1871
William BEECH, Labourer, 37 years old, born in Kent, England
Married 25 Sep 1856 in Port Stephens, NSW to:
Margaret CASSIDY, 34 years old, born in Sligo, Ireland

Source: Birth Record, Mary Ann BEECH (daughter), 17 Aug 1859
William BEECH, Bullock driver, 27 years old, born in Kent, England
Married 1855 in Stroud, Port Stephens to:
Margaret CASSIDY, 23 years old, born in Sligo, Ireland

Source: Death Record, William BEECH, 16 Apr 1901
William BEECH, Farmer – died at Ma Ma Creek, QLD
Age: 47 – this is definitely an error on the record; newspaper notices say 67, and his children are on this record with the eldest being 44
Born in Kent, England - 45 years in Australian Colonies
Married at age 22 in Port Stevens to Margaret CASSIDY
Parents: George BEECH, Laborer, and Annie SIMMONS

Source: Marriage Record, William BEECH and Margarett CASSIDY, 25 Sep 1856
Date Married: 25 Sep 1856
Place Married: Church of Saint Johns, STROUD
Religion: Church of England
Name: William BEECH
Conjugal Status: Bachelor
Occupation: Bullock Driver
Name: Margarett CASSIDY
Conjugal Status: Spinster

For both:
Birthplace: NOT LISTED
Age: NOT LISTED
PARENTS NOT LISTED


Any suggestions/assistance to find details for them in England would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Ross

Think I have found them! Although William's age is a bit out?

Thanks for the reply KGarrad. The names match, but the age being out concerns me as he would have been 16-17 when he married instead of 22 or so. I'm a little hesitant to take it as proof without some other confirmation.

I only offered a suggestion!

The first William I found is a possibility - but he's not with family?
I can't see any other choices on the 1841 census.

I am not finding anything on FamilySearch, either?
