Beach's 10.3.1798 at Pump room Bath with Jones's
This may have been the family of the Bath portrait painter Thomas Beach DNB 1737-1806 who appeared in a 1784 directory as painter West-gate buildings Bath. There is a transcript of his diary at the West Country Studies Library at Exeter which might shed more light (GB/NNAF/P141256). There were also two spinster sisters of Bath, Elizabeth Beach will PCC 1785 and Anna Catharina Beach will PCC 1804 whose brother Thomas of Jamaica had died by 1778 leaving two sons Thomas and John Hynes who called themselves de la Beeche and a daughter Jannet Helen who married Thomas Gowland (their daughter Elizabeth Helen was baptised 28.5.1784 at St Botolph Aldgate London). The spinsters were buried at Steeple Ashton, Wilts and had another brother Robert who died by 1804 leaving a son Thomas. A Sophia Beach swore to the handwriting of Elizabeth Beach's will in 1785
