Further BECHER GENEALOGY……………... The following was contributed by BOB ELLIOTT who is a descendent of Fane Becher REV.HENRY BECHER was ordained in1883 for the curacy of Lislee cum Kilsillagh 1883/1885. He was curate at St Johns, Sunderland, 1885/88. curate at Houhgton Le Spring 1888/91 and came to Ireland in 1891 where he was Rector at Castlehaven 1891/1914. Rector at Ross 1914/26 and Dean of the St Fachtna’s Cathedral here in Rosscarberry and Canon of Holy Trinity 1922/26. He died in 1929 and is buried in Ross. |
Additions to BECHER GENEALOGY supplied by Bob ELLIOTT descendent of BECHERS. Gravestone Ward 12BB Sunderland cemetery, Ryhope Road Sunderland reads “In loving memory of ALFRED GEORGE MILBANKE HUDSON Died March 12 1908 Aged 52. Come unto me all ye that are weary and I will give you rest” He was married to Amelia Maria Becher, grandchild of ELLEN JERVOIS and HENRY OWEN BECHER. I believe that Ellen Jervois was the sister of Elizabeth Jervois of Brade House, daughters of Samuel Jervois, and in case of Elizabeth, my 3rd great grandmother. Correct me if I am wrong. |
BEECHER/BECHER NOTES. Elizabeth Beecher/Becher. Born 1637. Elizabeth married Captain Horatio Townsend. son of Colonel Townsend. The story goes that Horatio landed on Sherkin, and on his way to visit the Beechers/Bechers, he saw Mrs Beecher combing the long hair of her daughter, Elizabeth.. It was a case of love at first sight. He was only the 4th son and his suit was not welcomed. Finally he married Elizabeth. He died of fever on his ship “Lynn”, not long after. leaving his wife and one daughter. Elizabeth eventually became the 3rd wife of Bishop Dive Downes. Elizabeth was daughter of Thomas Beecher/Becher md to Elizabeth Turner.,and niece to my 7xtimes great grandmother Susana Beecher/Becher. She was also sister to another Susana Beecher who married Samuel Jervois, another relative.. |

BEECHER NOTES. Source Reuben Beecher Hughes, in his book quotes (p3/4) the following letter he received from Rev.Luther Fitch Beecher DD. Brookline Mass. Feb3 ‘98 I have, also, a history of much interest of the BEECHERS (BECHERS) located for many years at CASTLE MARTYRS (CASTLE MAHON) in South west part of Ireland, occupying 3 large estates of which CASTLE MARTYRS(CASTLE MAHON) is the largest. Miss O’Neill, contemporary with Edmund Keene and Mrs Siddons was on London Stage then, under management of Kendalls. In 1819 she was married to SIR WILLIAM BEECHER, an Irish member of Parliament. Sir HENRY WRIXON BECHER, BARONET, now occupies the estate, having two hundred tenants and much more of like history and biography, much of which is new and of interest to you.

PHANE BEECHER.. Sources I.G.I History of Bandon and C.LD.S. There are many descendents of PHANE BEECHER today. A comprehensive ged. Com. is available on World Connect. In my case he would be approx. 9th great grandfather. Both my great grandfather RICHARD HENRY RADLEYand his wife ELIZABETH JANE ARMSTRONG RADLEY are, each in their own right, his great grand children.ELIZABETH JANE was granddaughter of REV.GEORGE ARMSTRONG, Chancellor of CORK College. The Anglo/Irish relationships are very complicated. For instance, SUSANNA BEECHER, my 7th Great Grandmother, was married to WILLIAM FIELD, Mayor of Cork, about 1676 She was sister of THOMAS BEECHER, of SHERKIN, who was also my 7th Great Grandfather through another line, and his daughter (another Susanna, my 6th Gt.Gm ) was married to SAMUEL JERVOIS, of BRADE HOUSE, LEAP,CORK. So I have 3 Great grandparents in one family! Makes you wonder. One of William Field and Joanna Beecher’s daughters, Alice Beecher Field also married another one of my relatives. THOMAS CROOKE. See Crooke/Ronayne page.Elizabeth Beecher was daughter of Thomas and Niece of first Susanna and sister of 2nd Susanna The second Susanna(md to Samuel Jervois my gt gfr) was at first married to Thom. Hungerford, so we are aso related to, through issue, the HUNGERFORDS (and just about everyone else in Cork!!). Fane BEECHER married SUSAN D’ABRIDGECOURT about 1572 and had eight children. One of his children HENRY married MARY, daughter of REV.WM.LYON, BISHOP OF CORK,CLOYNE AND ROSS. They held CASTLEMAHON. Apptd LORD PRESIDENT OF MUNSTER in 1604. His son HENRY, married MISS ELIZABETH NOTTES of AUGHADOWN. Two of their children were THOMAS md to ELIZABETH TURNER and SUSANNA married to WILLIAM FIELD. Both 7th gt grandparents through different lines. The daughter of Thomas was also a Susanna(7 gt gma) md Samuel Jervois 1719. |
