Can someone please take a look to see if they can find a marriage for William Beckerton - Glos / S.Wales / Forest of Dean areas. He was born c1867 - so any time between say 1883 - 1901

many thanks

Many, Many thanks Keeley and once again Maureen.
You have both been fantastic help.

I have a 'missing' grandchild that I have been looking for also..........and I was hoping that I may have uncovered her whilst looking for all of the above siblings in the 1901 census - but havent found her as yet.....

Ada Lily Workman born c1899 - Wotton under Edge - registered Dursley.

So she would have only been 1 or 2 yrs old - she wasnt with her mother Sarah Ann Workman & her 'new' partner William Beckerton....... and Ada's siblings were all in the workhouse.........so I am having real trouble locating Ada in 1901 !

Hi Maureen

Many thanks - that could well be the correct Reuben's birth & I know that the family were in Pontypridd in 1911 - so that would fit also.

Its 1901 thats a real puzzle for me - is anyone able to take a look in 1901 for
Rueben Beckerton born c 1882
John Beckerton born c 1878
James Beckerton born c 1874
Ellen ( married Robert A Beard ) born c1868
Joseph Beckerton born c1871
Agnes ( married George A Trotman ) born c1873

I know its a lot to ask - but, I need to find them all.....

Many thanks again

Thanks Flick

So Elizabeths husband - George dies somewhere between 1901 & 1911. I will look for that.

Is it possible please to find William Beckerton in the 1901 census - I have him in 1911 in Pontypridd married to Sarah Ann Workman.
