Hi helpers.
Looking for birth of Joseph Beecham b c1868 to 1880.

I have his marriage in 1901 to Kate (Catherine) Hogan. his age as b1876 both living in Battersea
I have military, his age as 35 in 1915. Living Nine Elms Battersea.
I have 1911 census, his age as 35 =b1873 with wife and 2 children.
I have 1939 register as b1868 with eldest son. Lambeth Kennington

1911 census shows born in Fulham
M cert shows father as Stephen Beecham. Can't find him either.
Can't find any other census.
I tried various spellings.

Thanks Maddie, I have this.
It's been suggested his name was Joseph Beauchamp b1875, on checking it he has middle name Charles, parents as James Stephan Beauchamp and Sarah Stapin Tibbs.
Not sure I'm happy with this though.

what was his fathers occupation on marriage cert

General Labourer Maddie.

Going by the birth year of Stephen 1860 and knowing Joseph was born between 1868 and poss.1880, I don't think this is family. Thanks for trying.

Thanks Malyon

Not a lot jumping out!, Whereat could be that Surname. If you have access to Ancestry, London Electoral Registers would need a 'combing through'...

Time needed on this, I think...
