Beech family in Warminster, Wiltshire

[Tillybean]

Hello everyone,

I am looking for any information on the Beech family in Warminster and any information on a Thomas Edmond Beech and Amelia Ellen Beech nee Small who married in 1840 at Saint Denys Church.
Both Thomas and Amelia where then "assisted" into Australia in 1841.
I have no information on both Thomas and Amelia apart from their marriage.
It would be fantastic if someone was able to help me out or at least point me in the right direction as it is hard to get English records here in Australia.

Thank you

This is the only IGI record for a Thomas Beech from Wiltshire around the time he would have been born. Do you have a death certificate from Oz - this would give an age to check against
Thomas Edmund Beech 
Christening:  14 JAN 1821   Corsley, Wiltshire, England
Father:  Thomas Beech 
Mother:  Martha
Batch C023782 - there is no film no given which is unusual
If you look at the batch you will find a brother John - 1822

If you can find your closest LDS centre in Australia - look here for locations

You will find lots of help and information to get further in your search.

Tillybean,

This appears on BVRI:
BEECH, Thomas Edmond   Age:   20   Marriage
Amelia Ellen SMALL   Age:   20
17 Nov 1840 St Denys Warminster, Wiltshire,
Husband's Father:   Thomas Ash BEECH
Wife's Father:   William SMALL
Source:   FHL Film 1279373   Dates:   1779 - 1906

No baptism listed in BVRI - did Thomas's father go with them to Australia or might he still be around in Wiltshire in 1851 - I'll look that up in a bit.

Thank you both for the information you have found.
Thomas Died in 1850 in Geelong Victoria at the age of 29 and Amelia pretty much remarried right away by the looks of things, no other members of the Beech family seem to have come out to Australia with them either.
I will keep searching for any English connections.
Thanks again!

Hi TillyB

The age seems to fit to be the correct birth on the IGI. I did a quick search for the parents without alot of success, but you may find more information on the IGI if you have a little more patience than myself! Good luck with the searching.
