My great grandfather was James Beech 1863 Bethnal Green. He married Eliza Goff in 1883.

On the 1911 census it says they had 10 children 7 of which were living. Six of which were with them on the 1911. James junior was not there or William 1890.

I need to know the baptism of George James Beech with Parents Elizabeth Mary and James Beech as I don't have the sub to look this up.

James 1863 father and mother were George Beech and Caroline Thompson. James and Eliza had a dau Caroline but no living George that I have found. The first child from this union that I know of was James Beech 1885.


Other children of this couple are

James 1885 Bethnal Green London Middx

Eliza 1886 Hackney Middx

Emma 1883 Hackney Middx

William 1890 Hackney Middx

Caroline 1892 Hackney Middx

Joseph Henry 1894 Hackney Middx

Margaret 1896 Hackney Middx

Richard (my grandfather) 1897 Hackney Middx

I can see some of the baptisms on Ancestry but can't look at them as I don't have the sub.

So I have 8 out of ten children born to this couple.

I do realize that if a child was born dead there was no birth cert. only if it drew breath.

James Beech was either a Tin Plate Worker or a Lamp Maker for the Railway.

Thanking all you helpers that give your precious time to others.

Thanks I don't think he could be one of mine then.

AOGG That 1881 census you put up for a Jmaes his birth woudld have been about 1822. Not one I am looking for and probably brother to my 2 x ggrandfather. It is just the baps of James Beech's children I need thank you.

I go back to William Beech 1747 with this line.

The address at time of George's baptism was 14 Gt. Cambridge Street and the father' s occupation was 'Operator'

Does this help?

Dea you are a real treasure. Yes they are all mine.

i was hoping that a couple of thier children lived long enough to be baptised but don't think I shall ever find the missing two.

I have to go up and get prescription soon so shall be off for a while.

BBL Mel

Hi

I have found another emma Beech born 27/5/1888 (which ties up with 1901 census) baptised 17/6/1888 St Michael and all saints Hackney living fortescue avenue father tin plate worker

could not find any other than what Dea found

found death for Emma born 11/10/1883 died oct nov dec age 0 bethnal green

Ann

Thank you Ann but Aunty Emm was the eldest sister of my grandfather and she is on the 1911 census unmarried.

Hi Mel

thats really strange ti have two James and Eliza with a occupation tin plate worker and baptist at the same church as the other one st Michael and all sainds Hackney. The address looked the same as for Eliza but could not understand the no of the house.

I have checked this again

also the death for a Emma bethnal green around the time the first Emma was born


Ann

Hi Mel

this Emma I found is the older than your grandfather bvorn 1888 dont understand what you are saying. Do you think this one is not the same as on the 1901 census?

there was a emma born 1883 but she died in 1883 child of James and Eliza

so they could have named a second child Emma after the first one
Ann

Hi Mel,

I think Ann has something here.

You say your Aunty Emm is on the 1911 - what is her year of birth please?

It looks like the first Emma is one of the children you are looking for who died.

Your Emma is 12 on 1901 census suggesting a birth date of c 1889 which would fit with the second christening.

It was VERY usual at the time to name a child after a dead sibling, particularly if they had been given a traditional 'family' christian name which they wanted to carry through!

Dea x

P.S. - Yes! - I have found her again on 1911 with the family. Birth year c 1888!

She is certainly the second christening of an Emma to this family.
