I'm on FMP and can't bring up the census for Elizabeth & Mary Ann but I have found

HINDES, Mary F 75 1766 Gloucestershire
BUCH, Edwin M 20 1821 Gloucestershire
JONES, Richard M 20 1821 Gloucestershire

and checked the transscript. It's as m p states

In my tree I have 1819 Edwin Beach son of Elijah Beach & Maria Furber.

Elijah was Humphrey's brother ie Elizabeth and Mary Ann's Uncle

Looks like a good bet to me

One of your possibilities is out .....

This is her in 1841
1841 census at Breams Eaves living with Grand Parents
JINKINS, George M 65 1776 Gloucestershire
JINKINS, Elizabeth F 65 1776 Gloucestershire
CULLIS, George M 15 1826 Gloucestershire
BEACH, Mary F 10 1831 Gloucestershire
MORSE, William M 42 1799 Gloucestershire

and this is the rest of her family
1841 census at Broom Green Park End Walk Dean Forest (Next to Thomas' brother William & Silve)
BEACH, Thomas M 40 1801 Gloucestershire
Betty (JENKINS) F 30 1811 Gloucestershire
Hariet* F 5 1836 Gloucestershire
Emma F 3 1838 Gloucestershire
Phillis F 0 (3 MONTHS) 1841 Gloucestershire
JINKINS, Mary F 10 1831 Gloucestershire

The second (Ann Beach 15 b. Gloucestershire with a George Owen50 at Tythings of Newlands) remains a possibility and I've found a tenuous link or two...

1. They are in the right neighbourhood (other Mary in Bream rather than Newlands)
2. This is the grouping in 1841
MORGAN, Sarah F 45 1796 Gloucestershire
MORGAN, Edwid M 14 1827 Gloucestershire
MORGAN, George M 11 1830 Gloucestershire
MORGAN, Robert M 8 1833 Gloucestershire
MORGAN, Tom M 5 1836 Gloucestershire
BEACH, Ann F 15 1826 Gloucestershire
OWEN, George M 50 1791 Gloucestershire

The family father is absent but if you search for baptisms you get, for example

44124 1826 MORGAN Edwin Richard Sarah Newland Shoemaker

So, Richard was a Shoe Maker just like Humphrey at this time, maybe they were colleagues even friends? Make of it what you will, it could well be just a coincidence...

I can't find any family connection between the Morgans & the Beachs

BUCH on Ancestry

Elizath BEACH - 21 Grocer - is this her older sister
Mary Anne BEACH- 13

John WILLIAMS 40
Thomas WILLIAMS 15

a few doors away

Mary HINDER/ - 75 Ind.
Edwin BRICH/BEACH - 20 - Shoe maker
Richard JONES -20/26 Shoemaker

for what it's worth....

I can conform that Humphrey the Shoemaker 1841 became Humphrey the Grocer in 1851

This appears to be Priscilla baptism

1791 ABRAHALL Priscilla John Martha Aston Ingham

I can find no record of her death or Mary Ann's birth....

Humphrey had remarried by 1841 so maybe Mary Ann was living with other relatives by 1841, but I can find no trace of that either. Presumably, her birth certificate quotes Priscilla as her mother? (What out there's a Humphrey about!)

Brian

Mary Ann BEECH/BEACH's father on her marriage certificate was a Grocer not a Shoemaker, confirmed as change of occupation by BSEDDON . Who were the witnesses at the wedding?
