Hello fellow rootschatters,
I have a genealogical problem that perhaps someone might be able to help me with. It is certainly a riddle that I cannot solve although the answer may be right under my nose and I can't see it!
There were once three siblings with the surname Beach: Sarah, Rebecca, and Thomas. I have no idea who their parents were, or when and where they were born. These are the facts that I do know:
All three siblings were married within the parish church of St George in the East and were witnesses at each other's weddings.
RebeccaBorn ?
Married 1809
James Gower (dates unknown)
Nothing further is known.
Sarah (my ancestress)
Born c.1783/1784
Married 1814
William Tristram Carver (1785-?)
Member of the Wesleyan Chapel in St George in the East
Died 1850 aged 66 and buried within the Wesleyan section of St George in the East Cemetery.
Known children: William Tristram Carver and Martha Carver
Thomas Born c.1784/1785
A Cork Cutter
Married 1814
Elizabeth Wright (c.1782-1847)
Died 1842 aged 58 and buried within the Wycliffe Congregational Chapel Burial Ground (WCCBC).
Known children: John Alexander Beach and Lydia Beach
I've spent ages trying to locate the parents of these three siblings so any help would be very welcome!
With kind regards,
Kirk
