kmegan Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Hi Does anyone have any information about the above who married on Christmas Day in 1882. He was born in 1861 and she was born in 1872. Elizabeth died in 1883 after the birth of her daughter Edith. Edward remarried and probably had more children but I have no more details. I am also interested in Thomas Johnson, the father of Elizabeth. His wife Mary later remarried George Starkey and they ran at least 3 pubs in Sheffield - The Queen's Hotel on Eccleshall Road, The Bay Horse on Willey Street and the Crown in the Wicker. Many thanks for any assistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmegan Posted May 22, 2012 Author Share Posted May 22, 2012 Thank you very much. I think the first 3 are correct but am uncertain about the 4th as it was always believed that there were further children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HughW Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I don't think Edward and Alice had any children, but it appears that he married for a third time: 1891 census piece 3856 folio 83 page 10 56 Victoria St Kilnhurst (Swinton) Edward BECKITT Head Marr 28 coal miner YKS Balby Alice BECKITT Wife Marr 37 Sheffield, Pitsmoor 1901 census piece 4402 folio 158 page 28 59 Victoria St Kilnhurst (Swinton) Edward BECKITT Head Marr 38 coal hewer YKS Warmsworth Alice BECKITT Wife Marr 48 Sheffield Joseph MACDONALD Lodger Unm 54 stone mason YKS Shipley Walter HUTTON Lodger Marr 33 stone mason YKS Idle Chas SQUIRES Lodger Unm 25 stone quarryman YKS Horsforde?
