George Beacham and Martha Pickering, Chew Magna

[Malivrag]

Please do help!

I can't find a marriage record for them, but by 1841 they must've been married about 10 years. George was from Tiverton and Martha was born in Chewton. In the 1841 census they're living on Silver Street in Chew Magna with their children and Hannah Pickering (65-69) and John Pickering (25-29) who are likely Martha's mother and brother. I find them in 1851 with their large crop of children. But it seems George died later that year, as there's a death record for a George Beacham, Dec 1851, Clutton.

In 1861 Martha is the housekeeper for a man named George Startup. Then in 1871 she's living with her married daughter, Sophia, and son-in-law, Benjamin Light, along with their children and two boys who must be Martha's grandsons: William and George Beacham, ages 11 and 8. There's also a George Pickean, 58, "uncle", born Chewton Mendip, in this household. Could this be a misspelling of "Pickering" and this George is a brother of Martha's?
