 | Children of Charles E. Beeman
Written on the left side of this photo is "C.E. Beeman cids".
The remainder of the photos of this album were found in a small photo album belonging to either (I believe) Oscar Simmons or Arthur E. Beeman. I am leaning towards Arthur E. Beeman as the orginator of these photos, however. Also, from some notes on the photos and the content of some photos. I believe all photos in this portion of the album are of the date range of 1925-1928. |

 | How Mom met Dad
This note was found between two pages of this album. The note reads:
"Mr Wm Beckett.
May 31 Truck work 8 hours
June 2 Truck work 3 hours
two men work"
"Mr Wm Beckett work 4 hours on 5th Dec 1934"
The two men work must be referring to Oscar Simmons and his son Willard.
So, is this how Dad (Willard Simmons) met Mom (Edna Beckett, daughter of Wm Beckett)?

 | 1851 Census of England (Oliver Beckett)
Although I have a high confidence level that the information here is the correct Oliver Beckett, I do not have 100% confidence.
Data: Location of census is: 17 Hornby Street, Liverpool, England.
Oliver Beckett (68), a Former Agent and widowed, is living with his daughter Eliza (44) and her husband Thomas Wright (47). Also, at this address is Oliver's son Oliver Beckett (15) whose occupation is Smith's Apprentice.
Confidence level less that 100% because this is the first time Oliver's daughter Eliza appears in any documentation and that Oliver's age is stated as 68 rather than 65 as expected. However, the location of the census, that his son Oliver is present at the expected age and that Oliver is a widower helps indicate that this is the correct Oliver Beckett.
