I am trying to find my husband's ancestors and have got as far as his great great grandfather, James Allen William Beck b 1831 in High Wyecombe and who married Rachel Abram. I cannot find any trace of his father - his mother I think is Ann. Is there anyone out there who can help me find out who his father was?

James Aleen William Beck appears on an Ancestry Public Member tree giving his father's name as William, mother Ann (no surname)
There is a record on Free BMD of a William Beck who
died in Wycombe district Q1 1838 ref 6 352 which makes you think it the same one as on the 1841 census only Ann and the children are recorded
