Hey everyone. It's been a long time since I've been on the forum, but I picked up a copy of The Forest of Dean by Humphrey Phelps and now I'm back on the grind of tracing my roots in the Forest. I was just wondering if anyone out there has interest in the surnames Powell and Beach. Farthest I can get back with any degree of certainty is Henry Powell and his wife Esther Beach. I'm FAIRLY confident on their parents, John Powell and Elizabeth White, and William Beach and Charlotte Milling. Thank you to everyone on this forum for all that you do. Look forward to hearing from anyone who is willing to help. Also, the Powell/Beach line was in West/East Dean.

William Beach 1851-1891 married to Charlotte Milling 1821-1823

Job Beach 1791-1850 married to Esther Philips 1788-1858

James Beach 1745-1792 married to Elizabeth Hughes

John Beach 1723-???? married to Eleanor Morgan

William Beach 1691-???? married to Sara Worgan

John Beach married to Maria Skinne

All of this matches what I have in my family tree. Would you say you're pretty confident on these? I put this info in my tree a few years back. I think someone from this site helped me find it initially, I just wasn't sure how confident we can be in the info. Thank you so much for all of this!

Hi

I think you are asking two questions.

The many people who transcribed all the records that you can now search here took very great care and are rightly proud the quality of the information. But, as ever, if any of the details are critical in understanding your tree then you may need to check.

The different question is whether these are the right results for you. A quick scan shows that there are 1098 Beaches in the parish record data. It is hard to comment on which are connected to your tree. I am sure that people would be pleased to help with more specific queries about particular connections or gaps.

Regards

Paul
