Hi Nigel Thank you for your suggestions There is a marriage on the IGI (extracted) for Joseph and Hannah which would appear to be the correct one 08 September 1816 at Lambourne Joseph BELCHER Hannah BECKINGHAM I have had an e-mail from someone who is doing a "one name" of Beckingham and he has confirmed this and says Joseph was "of Speen" This would fit with them having an 1851 census address of Shaw cum Donnington and may explain why Henry is in Speen in the 1861 census Cheers Elizabeth
