    3. Hello all, I am a new subscriber trying to trace a JOYCE BEAUCHAMP / BEACHAM / BEACHIM. born possible Liverpool 1790. She was my Gt. Gt. Grandmother. On 18/5/1819 she married William Hippisley Perry in Kilmersden, Somerset. Name given as Joyce Beauchamp, no age given. When he died she married a John Rees in Shepton Mallet, Somerset on 2/11/1826. On the 1851 census she was down as Screase aged 45, widow. This would give her a birthdate around 1805. On the 1861 census she was down as Crees, aged 78, widow. This would give a birthdate of around 1783. When she died 28/4/1862 she was down as Crees, aged 82 which would give a birthdate around 1780. I have been unable to trace her Baptism / Christening around Kilmersden but have received some information that a James BEACHAM was removed from Liverpool to Kilmersden with 2 children around the beginning of 1798 under the Poor Law. On 18/2/1798 he received from the Parish the sum of 4/- for shoes for his daughter. I am wondering if any subscribers have any trace of him in Liverpool around this time, possibly a wedding or the Baptism /Christening of his two children. I would think that originally he came from Kilmersden to Liverpool, possibly for work and was removed back there after falling on hard times. A long shot I know but someone may know something of him. Any help or advice gratefully accepted. Regards Harry
