Dear Glitter Baby & those involved in the search for William Thomas Beckett
My query was the whereabouts of the above mentioned between 1901/1923
your search has gone some way to solving this mystery {1} 1911? Beckett
William Inmate M9 1902 Middlesex Blackfriar {2} William Thomas Beckett
Parish or Poor law Union : Southwark St.Michael and All Angels Boro Southwark. Also found W.T. Beckett had a sister Harriett Mary {news to me } who was also put into a simular establishment. On searching for John Beckett Williams father I found he died in 1906 if this is correct his wife Elizabeth must been suffering some hardship. My next query is how can I research the establishments mentioned, Thank you for all the effort you have put into this research. Best Regards James Beckett

Dear Glitter Baby , Brummiejan
Thank you so for much for solving the mystery of the whereabouts of Wiliam Thomas Beckett between the period 1901 / i923 however it raises
more questions (1} 1911? Beckett William Imate M9 1902 what does Middlesex Blackfriar London refer to, {2} I guess Parish or Poor Law Union Southwark St.Michael & All Angels Borough Southwark is some kind of establishment for the poor or homeless or just for needy children it appears that Harriett Mary Beckett who I knew nothing about was my fathers sister was put in a simular establshment, I did a search on William Thomas father John Beckett he died in 1906 if this is correct it must have caused his wife Elizabeth a lot of problems. Please could advise me how I can research the establishments attended by William Thomas & Harriett Mary. Thank you for the effort you have put into my query Best Regards James Beckett

Problem with that 1911 is the baptism record for that William as it does not include any date of birth

Still trying to figure out what the G stands for in W G T Beckett

Rule out the 1920 marriage to Agnes Cox

Wrong age and occupation for father

Ozibird Report 15 Jul 2011 23:26

There is a possibility he could be this one considering John & Elizabeth didn't marry until June quarter 1901.

Births Mar 1901
JONES William George St.Saviour 1d 40

(Southwark district started in April 1901)

There's a marriage in 1920 that could be for him.

If John died in 1906, chances are William also had siblings. Do you know of any?
