Hello Westy
This looks quite likely to be your Sarah Beeching:-
Baptism for a Sarah Biching at Ticehurst, Sussex 25 October 1835, baseborn daughter of Ann.
1841 census at Ticehurst Workhouse shows an Ann Beeching age 32 (not born in Sussex) with William age 7 and Sarah age 5 (both born in Sussex).
Removal Order dated 15 January 1833 for an Ann Beeching, singlewoman, from Battle, Sussex to Ticehurst, Sussex.
Settlement Examination 15 January 1833, Ann Beeching, singlewoman, living at Battle: born in Goudhurst, Kent, first hired by Charles Newington of Ticehurst, then by Richard Tapsell of Ticehurst and Charles Emary of Battle, now pregnant with an illegitmate child.
Maintenance Order 16 July 1833 - George King, late of Battle, waiter at an inn; 18s 6d expenses and 1s 6d per week for the illegitimate son of Ann Beeching of Ticehurst, singlewoman, who was born on 1 Mar 1833 at the house of John Trowal in Ticehurst, she to pay 6d per week
Warrant to arrest putative father dated 25 March 1834 - George King, late of Battle, waiter at an inn, father of the illegitimate son of Ann Beeching of Ticehurst, singlewoman, for failure to pay maintenance.
Removal Order for singlewoman Ann Beeching from Sandhurst, Kent to Ticehurst, Sussex 4 June 1835.
Re George King of Battle - he appears to have been free with his affections as he was the father of my great grandmother, an illegitimate child born at Battle in 1825. So, William Beeching joins my family!
Sarah's father's name may have been Thomas but unlikely to have been Thomas Beeching.
Best wishes
Caroline
