TROVE has lots of mentions of shipping agents "Beckwith and Bancroft"; perhaps this is either Henry or Thomas? There are also many mentions of goods imported by "Beckwith Brothers" and T W Beckwith, and some notices for elections, mentioning Henry Beckwith.

This lists a Bonded Store
Beckwith, Flinders Lane West

The birth and death notices for Henry's children are also on TROVE.

More thanks for all this great detail.  These are very distant cousins and I set out to fill in a few blanks of death dates, but am now able to add lots more details.  That Trove source is very useful and easier to use than UK equivalents.
