Andrea, I have Beckingham's/Beckeram's also. They are on my wife Margaret's side and are mainly from the Sunderland area, but originally from Monmouth, Wales in the guise of John Jeffrey Beckingham who came to Sunderland where he died.
Am willing to exchange information.

Re: Mary Beckingham married Charles Quelch

angelafox71 — 2011-10-15 01:21:24Z

Hi Estelle. Have you worked out how your Beckinghams are related to mine? Be aware that the name has also been spelt Buckingham. After Charles died, Mary married James Brooks in 1839. I think they had 1 child, a boy but I have no idea what became of him.

I don't think the name Beckingham is all that common so there's every chance we are related.

Cheers
Angela

Hi Firstly sorry about the typo error re Charles and George Mary and Charles had a son George
George 20th June 1833 Chelsea UK -1914 NSW married Eliza Deacon
Daughter Mary-Ann 28th Aug 1829 Chelsea
Thats all I have regarding the family
I have gotten the information so just from Ancestry .com and the Beckingham one name study by Alex McGahey
I have been doing the Beckingham tree only for the passed 3/4 months We fit into the Great Hidden line through my great grandmother Ann Beckingham daughter of John and Sarah Burgess Beckingham Ann was born 1845 in Tilehurst Berkshire and married Isaac Selwood in 1862 he was a widower at the time and they had about 12/14 children which I am stll trying to chase up My grandparents came to Aust in 1912 we believed we had no other relatives here and my dad was the only one out of 5 children to marry the small amount that I have found is very overwhelming Ta Estelle

Re: Mary Beckingham married Charles Quelch

angelafox71 — 2011-10-14 23:21:59Z

Thanks for your reply to my post. May I ask where you got your information? Are you related to the Quelch's?

George is my man although I had his date of birth as 1830. You will find that a lot when researching family history. Dates and places of births, marriages and deaths can be very flexible.

I do have one question. In your reply you said Mary married George Quelch not Charles. Was that a mistake?

My George and Eliza had 9 children. Still to confirm this through BDM records.

angelafox71 — 2011-03-05 06:38:31Z

Does anyone have information about Mary Beckingham and her husband Charles Quelch? Mary's father was said to be Seymour Beckingham but I can't confirm this information.

Mary and Charles had (along with other children) George Quelch who married Eliza Deacon in Australia 1859. George was born in Reading Berkshire c.1833.

Thanks

Hi Angela,
much of the information on this side of the family I got from the research of an elderly uncle of my mother's, done in the 1970's. I believe there was a book published on the Cross family in Australia, but you might have to go to the State Library to get a copy.

Re: Beckinghams in Australia 1880s

angelafox71 — 2011-02-27 00:39:01Z

Hi. I just found your posts while looking for information on the Beckingham family. I saw Barry's reply to you and I'm wondering where he got his information from.

I have checked the NSW BDM site for the birth and death of your ancestor and can't find her in either the birth or death section. In fact there were no Cross deaths listed for 1926.

I know I might sound nosey but I like to try and help people where I can.

Kind regards
Angela Fox

Hope that helps

Hi Mike,

The FIBIS web site shows Entry from Transcription of Marriage Indexes 1709 - 1893
Presidency of Marriage Bombay
Marriage Year 1882
Husband First Names Simeon
Husband Surname Beckingham
Wife First Names Elizabeth
Wife Surname Mitchell
IOR Reference Z/N/3
Volume Number 56
Folio 140
LDS Film Reference 462967
Transcribed by Sylvia Murphy

I am happy that it is the same man as your Seymour. In 1849 there was another Wiltshire Simon aka Seymour who emigrated to NSW. Your Seymour was also known as Symer and Lymer. According to Overton, Wilts parish register he was baptised as Lymer but that may have been a poor transcription.
I have him at home in 1851 census but he is not with his parents in 1861, the next time I find him here is 1911 where he is described as a retired Army & Civil pensioner.
I can send you a Gedcom if you like.

Regards
Alex

Hi Alex,glad to be of some help,however your answer has caused me some confusion.You use the christian name Simeon,and I have the name Seymour with the main bulk of my detail taken from his military record.Re The National Archives ref:- WO97/2280/18.Could they be one and the same person ie a spelling mistake somwhere along the line or two different people.My place in this is my Mother was his daughter Daisy Rosina Beckingham born Wiltshire 3rd May 1907.

Hello Mike,

I thank you for the posting as you have enabled me to actually tie in the marriage of Simeon Beckingham and Elizabeth Mitchell, and the birth of Elizabeth Jemima. I found the marriage on FIBIS and the daughter's baptism on Family Search. However, I too have not found any deaths as yet. I am conducting a One Name Study of the Beckingham name and can be contacted direct at beckingham@one-name.org

Sorry, there was an Abraham but he was Captain Abraham WHERLOCK - I assume Captain of a ship as Robert Beckingham had tobacco and cotton to ship.

Re: same name

Thanks for checking. Don'tsuppose there was an Abraham Little mentioned in that will?

Re: same name

AlexMcGahey — 2008-04-01 18:56:29Z

Hi,

Sorry but I do not have any Abraham Beckingham back in the 1600's although there was a ROBERT Beckingham born England 1630 who died 1674/75 in Lancaster Co, VA. He left a large detailed Will mentioning several family members but no Abraham.

Re: same name

bjb2500 — 2008-03-30 23:44:23Z

Do you have an Abraham Beckingham that came from England in the mid to late 1600's.

Hi Bob,
I don't actually have Oliver Beckingham on my tree, but it's a good bet he's one of mine. Do you have any more details, like parents or DOB, and I can chase him up from this end.

I am trying to trace my great grandmother Mary Ann Beckingham, who married Sydney Augustus Cross in Scone, New South Wales, Australia in 1886. Unfortunately I don't know if she was born in Australia or UK, but I can't find her on any passenger lists.

Would appreciate any leads that you might have.

Hi Julie. My Gt. gt. gran was Florence Oakes, nee Beckingham. Her father was David, and his parents were Charles and Hannah of Hungerford Berks. Charles and Hannah were aged 61 in 1881, making Charles born in c1820. The 1881 census gives my Charles and Hannah as having been born in Hungerford, but there is another Charles Beckingham whose details say Gt. Bedwin, and I'm trying to work out if they are the same person or 2 different people. Can you help?

Got a plan!!

julieevans35 — 2007-02-24 17:39:35Z

Gloria - I was thinking, if you can give me some names and years of birth, I can find them for you! I am going to the family records centre in London this coming week and I can look them up. So if I had, for example, Alice Mary Beckingham born in 1895, I can look up anyone of that name born in that year and get the codes you need for a birth certificate. You can then order the certificates on line! It will tell me the codes and the place of birth, so you can get a starting point on the area at least!

What do you think?

If you gave me a few names and years of birth that connect, and I find them all in the same area, it opens up the whole thing for you.

Just let me know before Tuesday night as I am going up Wednesday and staying until Thursday night.

Sounds like a good plan to me!!!!!!

Beckingham

julieevans35 — 2007-02-24 17:38:28Z

Hi Gloria. The only I see that may connect to you is the Alice Beckingham that was born in 1895 in Pancras, London. But if you think she may have been born in NY, that doesnt fit!! I do have an Alice in my family somewhere, but I cant think where!! The only way to find out is to get Alice's birth certificate. If I can find a more concrete connection I would order it myself, we'll see how we go!! I have the codes to order it.

I will keep your family in mind when searching.

There wasnt an Edward Beckingham born in London in the year you mention. I wrote them all down!

Lets keep searching!!

I wish I had more information to go on but I don't know where anyone was from. I am looking for my husband's relatives. His maternal grandmother was Alice Msry Beckingham born in 1895 and her brother was Edward Thomas and he was born in 1989. Their parents were Edward Albert Beckingham and Delia (or Bridgete) Higgins. Alice and her brother are supposed to have been born in New York City, NY. My mother-in-law (one of Alice's children) said that her family was from the British Isles. She was English, Scotch, Irish and Welch. Who was from where I don't know. The family is all gone and there is no one who has any records. Do you have either Edward Albert or Delia (Bridget)? I'd love to hear from you again. Thanks Gloria

More Beckinghams found!

julieevans35 — 2007-02-24 17:36:55Z

Hi!! I found loads more Beckinghams on my search in the family history centre!! If you have any relatives born in London, Pancras or Islington, between 1887 and 1897 I probably wrote them down!! I also noted the codes to order the birth certificates.

Anyone need them??

julieevans35 — 2007-02-24 17:36:12Z

Hi Gloria!! You may be disorganised but you are great at spelling!! Her name IS spelt Frances. I will check the rootweb site to see what I can find, thanks.

My Grandmother married a James William McLean and they had my father. Then we went off and they divorced. After the divorce my nan changed back to her maiden name and my Dads name was changed too.

I am trying to think of why the name Alice rings a bell in my Beckingham line! My Dad says it rings a bell too, but he cant think why either! We thought it may be my nans mums name, but it isnt. I will keep thinking and trawling through records!

What area are your Beckinghams from?

Thanks for responding, its great when you get a message!

Thanks for your help!

GJirouschek9564 — 2007-02-24 17:34:38Z

I was excited to hear from you but unfortunately there is no connection with our Beckinghams as I can see. I am looking for an Edward Albert Beckingham. He married Delia (or Bridget) Higgins and they had two children that I know of. Edward Thomas Beckingham and Alice Beckingham. Alice was my husband's maternal grandmother. I am very unorganized, but I have two very large family trees for the name Beckingham that I got from the internet. Unfortunately they are no help to me but may be what you are looking for. I will try to do a search and see where I have them and get back to you. I am little confused with your listing of Beckinghams. You say that your Grandmother was Francis Hamilton Beckingham and she had a son with the name Beckingham and that her parents were Beckingham. Was her son born out of wedlock that he has her maiden name? Also my middle name is Frances and I know that the female name is with and e and the male name is with an i. Is your grandmother's name with an i? This is unusual. Just curious. I will try to get back to you soon. Gloria

P.S. Have you gone to the rootsweb site and looked for the name? I think that is where I found some of the family trees that I have.

Beckingham family

julieevans35 — 2007-02-24 17:33:01Z

Hi Gloria! I also have Beckinghams in my family line and was wondering if you have come across them!

My fathers name is Beckingham, his mother was a Beckingham. Her name was Francis Hamilton Beckingham, born 11 April 1916. Her parents were William Henry Beckingham and Jane Payne. My Grandmother was born in St Pancras, London. My Grandmother had 2 brothers and one sister. Their names were Ann, Albert (Don) and William.

Ring any bells???
