John Beckwith c1743
« on: Friday 14 October 16 01:27 BST (UK) »
Hi Guys, Sorry to be a pain but I've come up against another brick wall. This time it's John Beckwith c1743 proberly Halstead, I can't find his birth record or parents online. I have his marriage to Hannah Aston in 1766 at Halstead in Boyds and I think his death in 1788 Halstead. Any help with John and Hannah would be appreciated. Thanks.

St Andrews Church Halstead. Number 362 in register. John Beckwith and Hannah Aston both single of the parish, married by banns 22 December 1766, with Joseph Smith and Thomas Arnall.
Thomas Arnall signs many of the entries so he is probably the parish clerk.
Buried 19 March 1788 John Beckwith.

Do you have the children
William age 4 and John sons of John and Hannah Beckwith bap 2 April 1771
James bap 21 April 1772, Samuel bap 18 April 1775, Jonah bap 1 April 1777, Thomas bap 28 March 1780.

There is a Samuel Beckwith married Sarah also having children at the same time and names two of his sons Jonah and William.
