1841/1851 lookup for BECK family please
« on: Thursday 26 January 06 22:14 GMT (UK) »
I'm looking for the family of Edward Beck, most likely in the Isleworth area on either the 1841 or 1851 censuses.

The information that I have is that Edward married Sussanah Lucas in 1838.  They had several children:
Walter b 1840 Isleworth
Roger b 1841
George b 1842
Marcus b 1843
Ellen b 1845
Edith b 1847
John Lister b 1849
Thomas Barton b1851

Susannah was born c1809 in Hitchin Hertfordshire.

I am told that Edward died about 1851, so he may not appear on the 1851 census.

Edward ran a business called Beck's wharfe in Isleworth.

Many thanks for looking

I've had a look at the 1851 for you but I can't find them.  I've tried Peck, Perk, Burk etc to see if the name has been mistranscribed with no luck.

Sorry I couldn't help.

Karen :)

Karen

Thanks very much for looking. 

Maybe someone will turn them up in the '41 census.  I'm trying to trace them back to find if there is a link between them and my branch of the Beck family - my great aunt believed that there was, but unfortunately never had any details.

Hi Derrick,
My colleague and I are currently writing a book/pamphlet on the sisters, Edith and Ellen. From what we can figure out, none of the siblings had any children but they did stay close to extended family. When Susannah died (not long before Marcus) the family appear to leave Isleworth. Let me know if you'd like to know more. Would be interested to hear your angle on the family.

Best wishes
Caroline

There is one age 58 dies Mar 1850 Saint Martin in the Fields

Possibly a little early if a child was born in 1851 **

** Thomas Barton Beck was born Dec 1850

That's unusual isn't it with all those children. 

The only one I can't account for is the George age 8 in 1851.  He isn't with the family in 1861 so may have died or left home.
