born 27th December 1907.

James was the first born child of
Thomas Beech
and
Annie Woodcock.
James was
born out of wedlock and never realized that his surname was not
Beech but
Woodcock. Apparently he had never been told this fact and only found out when he
was asked to produce a birth certificate when applying for a job. He was not
best pleased and we can only imagine how it was all explained to him or what he
thought. Later he changed his name to Beech by deed poll. When
James married
Edith his occupation was a collier.
Edith came from May Bank and her father was
named Arthur James Evans who was a potter.
James got married on his birthday he
was 26 years old. When James was born
Annie was living at 16 Gallows Tree Lane
in Newcastle Under Lyme, Staffs.
