Hi, David, You have replied about the wrong William.Sorry,I was asking about the William who married Ann Giddins in 1796 as Capt.Martin William Becher was born in 1797.Capt. Martin William's father William lived in or near Docking, about 15 miles from Kings Lynn.A mini Biography by Voight's Gentlemen Riders, mentioned that at the age of 8 Martin rode 15 miles into Lynn to the bank to fetch money from the bank for his father.Martin was born in 1797. My William was born in Wokingham in 1770 and married also in Wokinham in 1793.Interesting that you think you may be descended from the Irish Bechers. What family archives do you have?I am presently trying also to find out where my 5xGt. Grandfather Lionel George Becher came from. He died in 1741 after the battle of Cartagena.There are several Lionels mentioned in the Irish branch.There is quite a lot of history in Burkes Irish famillies available at the Library and on the net.Eileen.
