Find Ancestors

Hi Everyone,
I am looking for any info on Bethia Father, i have found her mother as Sophie Beachill ? also spelt Batshall Beardshall..... but cannot find any marriage records or census where the father is, i have been looking at a David Beachill 1786 but still havnt found any concrete evidence also if kelita Beachill 1819 is her brother

.............original record states that Sophie is a Spinster, so not married which means you may never find out who the father was.

Thank you for both your replies it has been a big help. yes may have to venture to another side of the family now, just for some reasons this side just fascinated me

i did find marriage records for Matthew And Lydia Burkinshaw 1780 so there very well could be another child :-)
