I am also researching Dinah Beach/Beech/Birch and William Shillingford. Am a direct descendent of their son Benjamin Shillingford and his wife, Ann Elizabeth Bythewood Harris. Anything you can tell me regarding them would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Looking at the original marriage entry 31 August 1813 - I think the name is Dinah BEECH - as there is no dot over the first e in the surname - it is quite a faint entry, but the 'writer' does put heavy dots over his i's....

William SHILLINGSFORD, Bachelor of this Parish and Dinah BEECH, Spinster of this Parish - both signed by x's and the witnesses also - difficult to read looks like James ? and Joseph Tinflenges ?

I am seeking information about the birth of my GG/Grandmother, Dinah BIRCH. I believe she was born around 1787 in the Forest of Dean (1851, 1861 census) but have no other details of her birth. I do not know the names of her parents or of any siblings.

In 1813, she was married to William SHILLINGFORD at St. Mary,s, Stoke Newington, London. They had six children, Benjamin, Henry, Jane, William, Dinah and Susan. She died in 1873 at 32, Dean Street, Islington, London.

Any help or guidance as to where to go next would be most appreciated.

Thank you in advance,

Joan.
