Beck Family

[trevorteppler]

I am trying to find the parents of Herbert Beck born in England in 1887. He married Alice Johanna Elizabeth Bentley in South Africa in 1899. He died in South Africa in 1947.

There are a few Herbert Becks born in 1877 in the UK but i have no idea where exactly it was.

Herbert Beck born in England in 1887. He married Alice Johanna Elizabeth Bentley in South Africa in 1899

Are you sure you have the right birthyear?  If he was b 1887 & married 1899 he was only 12yrs old

He was a 22y old Painter.

Any idea when he arrived in South Africa?

Wonder if he travelled alone or with other family

There are a couple that can be ruled out as they are still in the UK.

This one appears in 1881/1891 then ?
