WALLASEY PETTY SESSIONS, YESTERDAY (3 June 1897)
(Before Alderman James Smith and other Magistrates.)
'CHARGES AGAINST HOYLAKE MEN - Harry Roberts, aged twenty - two,Joseph Charles Roberts, twenty - two, and Benjamin Beck, twenty seven,all of Hoylake, were charged with being drunk and disorderly. A chargeof rescuing Harry Roberts from the custody of the police was alsopreferred against Beck and another man named William Henry Evans, agedtwenty - one. Mr. Charles Roberts, solicitor, defended. Policeconstable Llewellyndeposed that on Saturday night he saw Harry Robertsand Joseph Charles Roberts drunk and using bad language in MarketStreet, Hoylake. Witness remonstrated with them. While he (Llewellyn)was speaking to his acting - sergeant,Harry Roberts came up and"lunged" into the sergeant. Sergeant Eaton seized Joseph Roberts, andwitness took Harry Roberts into custody. The latter became violent,and a number of young men interfered. Beck rescued Harry Roberts fromwitness and when another attempt was made to arrest him in Wood StreetBeck once more interfered. The men were, however, eventually lockedup. - Acting -sergeant Eaton and sergeant Dutton having givenevidence, Mr. Charles Roberts, for the defence contended that HarryRoberts accidentally caught the sergeant with his arm in passing. Thepolice, he held, had not the slightest occasion to arrest the two men.The disorder, if there were any, was owing to the action of thepolice. - The magistrates imposed a fine of 5s each on the twodefendants Roberts. Beck and Evans were each fined 10s on the othercharge.
Benjamin served on the lifeboat "Coard William Squarey", Oct 16,1902, when 9 Russian Crewmen were rescued from the"Matador of Riga".

Found on the 1901 census age 10.
Note from John Parr re his great uncle.
We knew his number but not his regiment because, after early losses inWW1 which wiped out whole communities, concentrations of individualsin local regiments were avoided. Thus we learned from his headstonethat he had been in the Kings Shropshire Light Infantry.
Interestingly, you give his date of death as 9th April. The Battle ofArras started on 9th April 1917 but William's headstone states 8thApril - possibly an error. However, I think he was killed checkingdefences on the eve of the battle...the short press cutting makes somesuch reference. He may have actually died on either date.

Note: Christening information in parish register is incorrect. Ithas Tom christened at Joseph son of Thomas, instead of Thomas Josephson of Joseph. They were living at 37 Market St.
Tom was the firstborn grandchild. He was named after his grandfatherand his father. He was often kept at his grandparents home as it was"too late" or "too cold" or "he was too tired" to be taken home atnight. About age 5, he eventually stayed to live at 33 Alderley Roadwith his Auntie Kit and Uncle Len Jones, as they were unable to haveany children of their own. He attended school in Hoylake, and laterapprenticed as a joiner. I have a ship he made while he was doing hisapprenticeship. He had his own boat, and he had a dog named Rover. Ihave a letter he wrote after a visit to London as a young boy.
Tom served in the RAF in WWII, and for part of that time was stationedin Canada, at Gagetown, P.E.I. While he was there he and his friendJack were able to visit his aunt, uncle and cousin in Ottawa. I havea letter he wrote after he returned to base, only getting back in thenick of time.
He married Florence after WW II. Tom had no children of his own, butwas a good friend to his stepchildren Heather and Marilyn. Kay andLen were disappointed that he did not have children of his own tocarry on the Beck name.
Tom and Flo moved to Canada in 1956, and lived at 6396 Locus Ave.,Niagara Falls, Ontario, where Mom and I often visited them. They weregood to me when we visited, taking us down to the falls and on shorttrips in the area.
Tom and Flo got on so very well together, they enjoyed travelling, andboating, they had a lovely garden while they were in Canada. Tom wasvery good to his Auntie Effie, he thought she was his very modernAunt. The visit during the war years was lots of fun. He was sosurprised when she handed him the key to the house so he and Jackcould go out and come home as they saw fit. They headed downtown to amovie, paid their streetcar fare, and came home on their transfer. Theconductor didn't say a word. They brought balloons which were veryscarce during the war, so really impressed Tom's little "Cuz". (Anickname which lasted between us until he died.) Tom dressed her upin his uniform jacket. We went sightseeing, he drew all sorts ofpictures for me. It was a very special event for both of us.
Shortly after he came to Canada in 1956, Tom and Flo arrived to visitus in Aylmer, Aunt Effie was out in the Garden, talking to theneighbour when he arrived, she introduced them, talked for a few moreminutes and then they went inside. Tom was quiet, Aunt Effie said,come on spit it out - what's bothering you "Isn't Jacques RomanCatholic?" I guess so says Aunt Effie, "Do you talk to RomanCatholics?" Well after a discussion on what was and wasn't done inEngland and Canada, the subject was dropped. A while later Aunt Effiewas visiting Tom in Niagara Falls, and she answered the phone. A nicefemale voice inquired if Mr. Beck was there? No but could she take amessage? Yes would you have him call Mother Superior. Well Tom camein and all Aunt Effie had to say was "Tom do you talk to RomanCatholics? It was a family joke for years afterwards.
Tom visited us at Aylmer one very hot summer, on the Sunday he decidedwe should go for a drive up the Gatineau. We arrived at Wakefield inthe heat of the afternoon and Tom decided a nice cold ale would hitthe spot, well of course there wasn't anywhere open on a Sunday butthe expatriate Brit didn't realize that, so he went and asked at thebar, if it would please be possible to get a drink. The owner invitedthem into the back garden overlooking the river, and as his guests,brought them each a quart of beer. (One way to get around thelicensing laws.) We sat and visited and drank their beer, Tom all thewhile keeping a watch on Aunt Effie, wondering how she was going tomanage, Well Tom said, so surprised, "she drank the whole bottle andnever turned a hair!" I only got a coke.
Tom worked as a carpenter when he first came to Canada, and soon foundthe construction trade was not to his liking. He picked up somecabinet finishing jobs, refitting boats, etc and soon had all the jobshe could keep up with. One of the jobs he did was lay the parquetflooring in the Sheraton Hotel in Niagara. He also did some work forone of the winerys just before they left for New Zealand. The moneywas too good to refuse.
They moved to New Zealand and lived at Pakuranga and Red Beach, Arewa,both near Auckland. Tom took the Beck grandfather clock to NewZealand, where, after his death it was given to a museum. Some of hissisters or his brother would have liked to have the clock. My mothersaid they would remember it from their visits to their grandparents"when they all came trooping in after Joe on a Sunday morning". Itwas a beautiful grandfather clock with all the phases of the moon onits face.
Tom enjoyed the sea and boats and had his own boat in England whenthey lived at Plymouth, and in New Zealand. He was not interested inboating on the Great Lakes while they were in Canada, but preferredthe ocean.
He married Florence, 16 Jul 1949, b. 1913, buried ABT 1992 in New Zealand, d. 2 Feb 1992 in New Zealand.
Florenc: Known as "Flo" and "Flossie"
Flo had 2 children, Heather and Marilyn from her 1st marriage to Jack,a pilot in the air force who was killed in WW II. He and Tom hadserved together in the RAF.
Heather married Dennis Rusk in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Marilyn marriedin England. Tom and Flo missed both girls weddings by being in thewrong country when they got married. Both girls moved a lot and Tomand Flo had some nice holidays visiting with them.
Flo and Tom were down to their last few dollars and were ready toreturn to England when Flo found work in Niagara Falls in a Marineequipment shop. Someone wanted a carpenter to finish the inside oftheir new boat, and Tom did the job, setting him up in the carpentrybusiness, as one job followed another. Flo and Tom loved gardeningand grew some beautiful prize roses. Flo did exquisite fine crochetwork. I have a table centre piece she made for me. She had a lovelycollection of Royal Doulton China including most of the fishermen.She and Tom's Aunt Effie got on really well and she stayed with her atAylmer for about 6 weeks before they left for New Zealand.

Children:
i. Thomas Joseph Beck, b. 3 Nov 1918 in Hoylake, Wirral, Cheshire, England, buried ABT 1991 in New Zealand, occupation Joiner (Carpenter), d. 17 Apr 1991 in New Zealand.
Note: Christening information in parish register is incorrect. Ithas Tom christened at Joseph son of Thomas, instead of Thomas Josephson of Joseph. They were living at 37 Market St.
Tom was the firstborn grandchild. He was named after his grandfatherand his father. He was often kept at his grandparents home as it was"too late" or "too cold" or "he was too tired" to be taken home atnight. About age 5, he eventually stayed to live at 33 Alderley Roadwith his Auntie Kit and Uncle Len Jones, as they were unable to haveany children of their own. He attended school in Hoylake, and laterapprenticed as a joiner. I have a ship he made while he was doing hisapprenticeship. He had his own boat, and he had a dog named Rover. Ihave a letter he wrote after a visit to London as a young boy.
Tom served in the RAF in WWII, and for part of that time was stationedin Canada, at Gagetown, P.E.I. While he was there he and his friendJack were able to visit his aunt, uncle and cousin in Ottawa. I havea letter he wrote after he returned to base, only getting back in thenick of time.
He married Florence after WW II. Tom had no children of his own, butwas a good friend to his stepchildren Heather and Marilyn. Kay andLen were disappointed that he did not have children of his own tocarry on the Beck name.
Tom and Flo moved to Canada in 1956, and lived at 6396 Locus Ave.,Niagara Falls, Ontario, where Mom and I often visited them. They weregood to me when we visited, taking us down to the falls and on shorttrips in the area.
Tom and Flo got on so very well together, they enjoyed travelling, andboating, they had a lovely garden while they were in Canada. Tom wasvery good to his Auntie Effie, he thought she was his very modernAunt. The visit during the war years was lots of fun. He was sosurprised when she handed him the key to the house so he and Jackcould go out and come home as they saw fit. They headed downtown to amovie, paid their streetcar fare, and came home on their transfer. Theconductor didn't say a word. They brought balloons which were veryscarce during the war, so really impressed Tom's little "Cuz". (Anickname which lasted between us until he died.) Tom dressed her upin his uniform jacket. We went sightseeing, he drew all sorts ofpictures for me. It was a very special event for both of us.
Shortly after he came to Canada in 1956, Tom and Flo arrived to visitus in Aylmer, Aunt Effie was out in the Garden, talking to theneighbour when he arrived, she introduced them, talked for a few moreminutes and then they went inside. Tom was quiet, Aunt Effie said,come on spit it out - what's bothering you "Isn't Jacques RomanCatholic?" I guess so says Aunt Effie, "Do you talk to RomanCatholics?" Well after a discussion on what was and wasn't done inEngland and Canada, the subject was dropped. A while later Aunt Effiewas visiting Tom in Niagara Falls, and she answered the phone. A nicefemale voice inquired if Mr. Beck was there? No but could she take amessage? Yes would you have him call Mother Superior. Well Tom camein and all Aunt Effie had to say was "Tom do you talk to RomanCatholics? It was a family joke for years afterwards.
Tom visited us at Aylmer one very hot summer, on the Sunday he decidedwe should go for a drive up the Gatineau. We arrived at Wakefield inthe heat of the afternoon and Tom decided a nice cold ale would hitthe spot, well of course there wasn't anywhere open on a Sunday butthe expatriate Brit didn't realize that, so he went and asked at thebar, if it would please be possible to get a drink. The owner invitedthem into the back garden overlooking the river, and as his guests,brought them each a quart of beer. (One way to get around thelicensing laws.) We sat and visited and drank their beer, Tom all thewhile keeping a watch on Aunt Effie, wondering how she was going tomanage, Well Tom said, so surprised, "she drank the whole bottle andnever turned a hair!" I only got a coke.
Tom worked as a carpenter when he first came to Canada, and soon foundthe construction trade was not to his liking. He picked up somecabinet finishing jobs, refitting boats, etc and soon had all the jobshe could keep up with. One of the jobs he did was lay the parquetflooring in the Sheraton Hotel in Niagara. He also did some work forone of the winerys just before they left for New Zealand. The moneywas too good to refuse.
They moved to New Zealand and lived at Pakuranga and Red Beach, Arewa,both near Auckland. Tom took the Beck grandfather clock to NewZealand, where, after his death it was given to a museum. Some of hissisters or his brother would have liked to have the clock. My mothersaid they would remember it from their visits to their grandparents"when they all came trooping in after Joe on a Sunday morning". Itwas a beautiful grandfather clock with all the phases of the moon onits face.
Tom enjoyed the sea and boats and had his own boat in England whenthey lived at Plymouth, and in New Zealand. He was not interested inboating on the Great Lakes while they were in Canada, but preferredthe ocean.
He married Florence, 16 Jul 1949, b. 1913, buried ABT 1992 in New Zealand, d. 2 Feb 1992 in New Zealand.
Florenc: Known as "Flo" and "Flossie"
Flo had 2 children, Heather and Marilyn from her 1st marriage to Jack,a pilot in the air force who was killed in WW II. He and Tom hadserved together in the RAF.
Heather married Dennis Rusk in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Marilyn marriedin England. Tom and Flo missed both girls weddings by being in thewrong country when they got married. Both girls moved a lot and Tomand Flo had some nice holidays visiting with them.
Flo and Tom were down to their last few dollars and were ready toreturn to England when Flo found work in Niagara Falls in a Marineequipment shop. Someone wanted a carpenter to finish the inside oftheir new boat, and Tom did the job, setting him up in the carpentrybusiness, as one job followed another. Flo and Tom loved gardeningand grew some beautiful prize roses. Flo did exquisite fine crochetwork. I have a table centre piece she made for me. She had a lovelycollection of Royal Doulton China including most of the fishermen.She and Tom's Aunt Effie got on really well and she stayed with her atAylmer for about 6 weeks before they left for New Zealand.

Born at 24 Grove Road, also lived at 12 Church Rd, about 1910 (latercalled Trinity Rd), and 33 Alderley Road, Hoylake.
Found on the 1901 census age 5.
Effie attended The Parade Higher Elementary School in 1910, it opened,December 1909. I have a small note book with Citizenship notes andreceipes, and also a small date book and diaries from 1924 (the yearshe came to Canada) and 1925. Her father and many of the Becks andRoberts were fishermen, a dangerous occupation as reading the Hoylakehistory books will show.
Effie and siblings had an Aunt Lil and Uncle Bert (W.C.) Soper, wholived in Essex, Canada, and then in Windsor at 808 Howard Ave..Margaret Nessey, wife of Harry Beck Parr was known as Nurse Parr, arelative. She had 3 sons, William, (have newspaper clipping about hisservice with CPS) Stephen, and Harry. A Mrs. Parr from Hoylake was inCanada in l924. Mr. C. H. Beck was a 2nd cousin . (Oral tradition)
She went to work during WW1, working in Hoylake in the butcher shopwhile the men were overseas, and later working for Stead & Simpson(Shoe store) in Chester and on the North Wales coast. This was adeparture from the usual role for women, as they were expected to stayhome and help there until they married. It freed her so that latershe came to Canada. Sali Frances Meredith was one of her friends atthis time. Many of her male friends and relatives went to Europe tofight in WWI and were killed or wounded. She had a friend "Kelly"from the Isle of Man, and I have letters from her cousin Joe Hallows.Len Jones was wounded, and her brother Joe survived the sinking of theEmpress of Britain and her brother Ern also joined up. These wereharrowing days.

Bill's birthday appears in her 1925 diary
Mom kept a newspaper clipping entitled "Hoylakians Meet in U.S.A. Oneparagraph reads: We arrived at Toronto at 1 p.m. and set out first tofind Miss Rosalind Lucas. Blow No.1 fell when, on finding the housewe were informed that she had left and they did not know her newaddress, Next we tried to find Miss Effie Beck whose parents live inAlderley Road, but discovered the house to be empty. Blow No. 2! Ihad only one other address, that of Mr. and Mrs. Conning. Here againwe found they had removed. Blow No. 3. We had no luck with thetelephone directory but our second and happiest thought was thePostmaster. He gave us the desired information and we were off like ashot from a gun. I knocked at the door and Mr. Conning answered.."Why it's Raymond Cooper he said, and proceeded to drag me inside[where he met some others from Hoylake]
We continued on our journey to Hamilton, 40 miles away where I calledon Mrs. Craig (formerly Louise Barlow, of Alderley Road). The shock ofmeeting over, she got on to the phone and in ten minutes Miss EffieBeck (for whom we had been searching in Toronto) came bounding in,wreathed in smiles. I might add for the interest of those who knowEffie so well, that by the time this reaches you, Miss Beck will be onthe eve of her marriage, which, I understand. will take place fromMrs. Craig's house. On Monday morning we called on Mr. and Mrs. LenParr in Hamilton, As Mrs. Parr was one of my late customers I knockedat the door and asked: Will you want any coal to-day? Her eyes openedin surprise I can tell you. Mrs. Parr is the proud possessor of alittle baby girl-and of course there never was a baby like it.
In 1965 Effie's mother's will was settled and she inherited £486.12.9from the proceeds of the sale of 33 Alderley Road. Her mother's willhad stipulated that Kate Barbara Beck have the use of the house forher lifetime

Its own appointed limits keep

And hushed their raging at Thy word

And calm amidst its rage didst sleep
Oh hear us when we cry to Thee

Upon the chaos dark and rude
And bid its angry tumult cease
And give for wild confusion peace
Oh hear us when we cry to Thee
For those in peril on the sea!

Our brethren shield in danger's hour
From rock and tempest, fire and foe
Protect them wheresoe'er they go
Thus evermore shall rise to Thee

St. Matthias Anglican Church
While living with my parents I lived at 113 1/2 Fairmont Avenue, 338McKay Street, Ottawa, 56 Foley Road, Connaught Gardens, Aylmer East,Lucerne, Quebec,
I attended Crichton Elementary School, York Elementary School forgrades 7 & 8 and the High School of Commerce. During this time I wasinterested in Stamp collecting, and crafts, I attended CGIT, and wasactive in the Camera Club at school.
I was very fortunate to have my Dad's family close by, I had threedevoted, doting uncles, to whom I could do no wrong! I remember verylittle of Auntie Gladys, except that she bought me my first stampalbum. After her death Uncle Jack would come for supper one night aweek and we would walk to the cemetery together. I saw my unclesfrequently. They came to visit for all the important occasionsthroughout the year, Christmas, birthdays, etc. Each uncle had aspecial spot in my life all to himself. I also started to visit themat Aylmer, (a bus trip all by myself which was a new experience).Then after Jack died I spent time at Aylmer with Ernie while Reg wasworking. Ernie taught me how to make jams and jellies, and yes he wasa good cook. After Ernie died and Reg was "retired" I would visit himeach time I came home from Montreal, as he always came for Saturdaysupper. When all four brothers got together they would reminisceabout their life in England and at Kinosota. How I wish there hadbeen tape recorders in those days. Auntie Nell would visit fromWinnipeg once a year, an anxiously awaited event, as it involved atrip to the train station, a taxi ride home, the special dishes wouldbe used, and my uncles would visit.
I worked in Ottawa for a few years following high school graduation,in an office job, for a dentist, for our doctor, and in a hospitalkitchen. I went to Five Oaks (where I first met Bob though we didn'tmarry until 14 years later) and spent two summers working there, Iupgraded my schooling in the winter.
I moved to Montreal and trained as a Surgical Aide at the JewishGeneral Hospital, then as an
R. N. at the Royal Victoria Hospital. I worked at the Vic for fouryears after graduation. I lived on Goyer St., Prince Arthur Street,and Lorne Crescent as well as in nurses' residences. My friend Sueand I moved to Vancouver in 1968 where I worked at the Health SciencesHospital, U. B. C. While living in Vancouver I learned to drive andbought my first car, a Toyota Sprinter.
Bob and I became engaged on July 20, 1969, the day the first menlanded on the moon!
After marrying in 1969, we lived in Viking, Hanna, Alix and Warburg.Brian was born while we were at Alix and Colin while we were atWarburg.
We moved to Edmonton in 1978 and lived at 16914 109 St, 10614Beaumaris Road, and 8812 143 Street.
Pets: Growing up I had two cats, Skippy, at McKay St., and Boots atAylmer.
After we were married, Bob & I got two cats, just before halloween1970, while we were at Hanna. (born September 1970). Boots lived untilJune 5, 1987 and Smokey lived until Feb. 2, 1989.
We later got a cockerpoo, who we named Jenny, she was born May 5 1995.
Some of the travelling we did: After Dad died Mom and I took a tripto New York on the train from Ottawa via Montreal, then the next yearwent to Boston. We also had a trip around the Gaspe Peninsula. In1965 and 1968 we visited Ireland, Scotland, Wales and England where Imet many of Mom's friends and family for the first time. Bob and Iwent to Banff, Lake Louise and Jasper on our honeymoon, then in 1970we visited Japan, Hong Kong, Korea and Hawaii. For our 25th weddinganniversary we visited England, Scotland and Wales and Bob was able tomeet some of my relatives there. Before the boys started school wehad spring vacations in the Rockies, then during the boys vacationsfrom school we camped at our lot at Pigeon Lake in a 16' trailer. Inspring break 1985 we went to Disneyland in California, and to SanDiego and Tijuana Mexico. 1986 saw us visiting Expo 86 in Vancouver,and coming home via Washington, Idaho, and Montana. The next year wedrove to Banff, eastern B.C., Idaho, Glacier Park, Montana and toYellowstone Park in Wyoming.
In 1988 and 1989 we drove out to the Oregon Coast for two wonderfulvacations. We visited the Rockies many times over the years forshorter trips and they remain one of our favourite spots, though Ilove being by the ocean also. When I retired from nursing in 1995 wesold our lot near Pigeon Lake and in 1996 bought a 1982 travel van.In 1996 we visited Manitoba and then had a wonderful month long tripup the Alaska Highway. We have travelled from Alberta to Ontario,going there via Canada and coming back part way through the States,we've been to Illinois, to Yellowstone, and had many trips to thecoast travelling both through Canada and the US.
(I have 2 small date books, one my Dad made for me, and one he madefor my mother, with many dates listed in them relating to thePatterson and Beck families.)
