Beck family info Roscrea
« on: Sunday 03 September 17 11:31 BST (UK) »
Does anyone have knowledge of Louisa Beck, born Roscrea, Co Tipperary, in 1927?  I have a document placing her as giving her address in 1947 aged 19 as The Temperance Hall Roscrea
A.ny info would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to RootsChat.
RootsChat has a no living people policy so if she is still alive you need to remove her name. (Modify button)
FamilySearch has an index entry that could be her, it's in the neighbouring registration district of Birr.

if you wish to get a photocopy of this birth cert you can order one for €4 using the form on the link below.

I am aware of Louisa Mary Beck of Birr. However, she is not the Louisa Beck I am interested in. I have documents with Louisa's name without a middle name. As they are legal documents which would require her full name it is not likely to be my relative. Thank you anyway.

Given that Beck is a fairly uncommon name in Ireland, I think the chances of two Louisa Beck born in the same year and in the same area are very low.

She may simply not have known or didn't care to use Mary. That wouldn't be unusual.
For example I spent quite a lot of time looking for an Isobella Connor, this was how she was named on her marriage and how she was known to her family. Her birth is registered as Mary Isobella.

If she married, do you have her father's name and occupation perhaps to could find her family through him.

Welcome to rootschat Chiefstoker

I agree with Sinann - BECK is an unusual name

Does the document that you have state she was born in Roscrea?
or is The Temperance Hall, Roscrea her address at 1947?

I appreciate she was aged 19 but could she have been married?

Have you seen the official 1927 birth record in the BIRR district?
This district included Roscrea

There is a current member of Roscrea Methodist Church named BECK;
