Hi folks and good evening.

Just wondered if any of you good members had a connection with this family please?

John BEECH born 1899 and Alberta Annie CLISSOLD born 1897.

Not too much information relating to John as yet, but Alberta was the daughter of Charles CLISSOLD 1871/1953 and Alberta Elizabeth MORGAN 1872/1917
born in Birmingham as were her parents.

John Beech & Alberta Annie Clissold. married in the Register Office Walsall on the 30th December 1922.

John Beech aged 23 (1899) a bachelor factory boiler stoker living at 33 queen Street, Walsall, father William Beech a metal worker.

Alberta Annie Clissold aged 26 spinster a football stitcher living at 110 Farringdon Strret, Walsall father Charles Clissold a coach bead maker.

Witnesses: Joseph Henry Clissold (brides brother) and Ada M Hodson, Alberta Annies father Charles married a Gertrude Hodson (WW1 war widow) 1921 again in Walsall when his wife Alberta Elizabeth died in Walsall in 1917.

The couple had 5 girls, all born Walsall. Alberta 1923, Hazel 1925, Jean 1926, Jacqueline 1929' Molly 1930

Alberta, Hazel, Jean & Molly passed away in the March Quarter 1931, all again in Walsall, Sadly Jacqueline passed away in 1962 aged just 33 and single.

Not sure when John passed away (1968?) but it seems Annie Albert remarried at the age of 74 in the December Quarter 1971 again in Walsall to a Edward John BUTLER (1900/1987)

Just wondered if anyone had a connection or knew of John, Alberta or Edward John Butler, or indeed the story of the very sad demise at a very early age the children of the couple.

Kind regards.

So what do we want info on then Ray JOhn Beech and his father William Beech?

Can we help Ray pls guys

Thank you Northern Lass.

I am okay for information relating Alberta Annie (Annie Alberta), well up until her marriage to John BEECH.

I can see nothing in the 1901/1911 census relating to John BEECH being connected to a William BEECH.

It was just a general enquiry to see if any forum member had a connection to John or his father William,
or even maybe Annie Alberta's second husband Edward John Butler.

As an aside do any members know of ant infectious disease outbreaks that would account for four children's demise in early 1931.

Any help appreciated,

Thank you.

Thank you Northern Lass and Grangers 14, greatly appreciated I can assure you, apologies for tardy response, read replies yesterday, but today is the first chance I have had to sit down evaluate your information and say thank you to everyone who has helped with my enquiry.

The match with John Beech and his father William and his occupation matches the marriage certificate I have, the problem I had was I was trying to hard to match a John Beech I have already in my tree (with connections to the Clissold family) with Alberta Annie, and I ended up not being able see the wood for the trees.

I needed a fresh perspective and and another pair of eyes I guess, thank you kindly both for providing that, I cannot thank you enough.

Hopefully when funds allow I will invest in a death certificate to see if I can find out what the four girls succumbed to.

Many thank once again, Ray

Glad it helped you.
Sometimes another pair of eyes helps.
Jo

hi ray
did you find out the reason for the death of all the children in the same year?
