Same here, can't find a birth of Ella Beecher 1877, can't find her on any census.
Is Vousden a surname? Where did you get it from?

How have you worked backwards to arrive at the name of William Beecher and approx date of birth?


Keep looking at this birth
Births Dec 1877 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Beecher Helena Naomi Tunbridge 2a 613

But I think her parents are Edward and Harriett = possibly listed as Ellenor N on 1881. Typical Edward is a gardener

I found William Beechers name as Ellas Father on the microfiche/film of her marriage to Ernest Thomas Fulcher In Bombay 15th May 1903 from FIBIS and then just estimated his Birth Date

GlitterBaby Report 26 Jul 2008 01:26

Have you actually seen a copy of that marriage entry?

Was just wondering how old Ella was when she married or have you estimated that as well

Slightly puzzled as to why she would have been in Bombay or her father if he was a gardener?

GlitterBaby

GlitterBaby Report 26 Jul 2008 01:42

I presume that it is your tree on Ancestry?

Where have you got the date of birth for Ella from - was it the death cert?

Just been reading the service record of Ernest Fulcher on Ancestry. Does say the marriage was in Bombay in 1903. Sorry that should be Pensions record on Ancestry


Was just going to give up as well.


Nite Lindsey.

Also in my Aunt's letter she states that Ernest was born on 4 August and Ella 25 August, both in 1879.
Her father was not in Bombay, his name was on the microfiche. Ella may have arrived in Bombay as a servant with her employers.
I took her date of birth off my Aunty's letter for my family tree.That would make her apox 26
Cheers, Gavin
