Beckwith-Halstead

[nannyj]

I take it you already have Samuel beckwith marrying Sarah sturmer in 1794. Witness William beckwith. Both men signed their names.

Thank you nannyj.

John hostler married Sarah beckwith at St. Andrews halstead, 25/12/1826 by banns. Both unmarried. Edward beckwith witness. All made their mark, rather than signed.

Hi nannyj,  Yes I already have that one, I presume that William was his brother b1767. It their father thats a problem. John Beckwith married  Hannah Aston in1766 but thats as far as I go, cannot find John or Hannah's births.

A Daug Sarah buried 30 April 1801.

Checked parish registers for halstead, clone engaine, earls colne, little maplestead, sible hedingham, but no John beckwith born around 1740ish or Hannah (I looked for anns and Annas too, just in case). Marriage for the pair says both single and of parish, but that just means they were living there at the time of marriage 😔
There's a John beckwith baptised 1746 Sudbury, which isn't far from halstead. Parents Jacob and mary. Also one baptised in kelvedon 1732 to Richard and Hannah.
Hannah Aston baptised July 1750 to Thomas and susannah in Sudbury.

Hi nannyj, Thank you for your help, this pair is a long standing problem. I thought at one time that they may have come from outside to work at Courtaulds but the factory was'nt built until 1818. Some other Beckwiths came from Greenstead Green or Stisted but I could'nt find a John there.
Thank you again.
