I am looking into some family history to do with an Elizabeth BILLINGSLEY and her family. she was born in 1548 and died in 1611 in Worfield, Shropshire. She was married to a William BEECH (possibly BECHE) in 1565 in Pattingham in Staffordshire. Her father was aparently Richard BILLINGSLEY from Astley, Shropshire and mother was a Joanne, surname unknown. I am interested to know some more about this family. I live in the West Midlands so if there was some information available locally, that would good to see
Andy,
I would be interested in speaking with you regarding the BEECH Family of the manor of Barnsley in parish of Worfield. I have researched Angel BEECH who was the daughter of William BEECH, merchant of the Staple of Calais and resident of Worfield and Alice CATSTREE his wife. She was born c.1551 and married to my ancestor Henry TAYLOR alias WILCOX of Lutley in the parish of Enville in 1572. I have come across other BEECHs listed and interestingly there are Billingsleys in the parish of Enville as well.
