I am trying to find more clarifying info on

Rev. William Henry Beeche 1799–1848
BIRTH 1799 • Carlow County, Ireland?
DEATH OCT 1848 • Kilgeffin, Roscommon, Ireland

He seems to have two wives, which is what I am looking for more info about.
When did he marry both? How many children and any pertinent data on the wives.
Could there also be a son who was also a reverend?

Wife 1) Margaret McCutchan 1815–? who had at least two children with the Rev.

1a) James McCutchan Beeche 1846–1916
Birth: 1846? • Roscommon, Roscommon, Ireland
DEATH 17 MAY 1916 • Bondi, New South Wales, Australia

and

1b) Annie Beeche 1848–1931
Birth: 1848? • Roscommon, Roscommon, Ireland
DEATH 30 SEP 1931 • Remuera, Waitakere, Auckland, New Zealand

Both 1a and 1b list Margaret McCutchan/Rev. William Henry Beeche as mother/father in their obituaries.

and

Wife 2) Margaret Blennerhassett who also had at least two children with the Rev.

2a) Mary Jane Beeche 1845–?
Birth: 1845? • Roscommon, Roscommon, Ireland
DEATH Unknown Date, New Zealand

and

2b) John Blennerhaset Beeche 1840–1895
Birth: 16 April 1840 • Roscommon, Roscommon, Ireland
Death: 3 April 1895 • Coolgardie, Western Australia, Australia

Other possible siblings are: Thomas Joseph Beeche and William Henry Beeche

A PDF about New Zealand mining found at the Historical Research Unit
Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences The University of Waikato, New Zealand
"HENRY HOPPER ADAMS: A TE AROHA MINER WHO BECAME A MINE OWNER"
by Philip Hart includes the following text with sources:

John Blennerhassett Beeche,¹⁰³ another prominent miner, who had married Eliza Adams’ sister Elizabeth Ann,¹⁰⁴ was joint owner of some claims with both him and his brother,¹⁰⁵ James McCutcheon Beeche.¹⁰⁶


Thanks for any help.
