  Married	11 Oct 1813	St. Botolph’s Church, Aldgate, London, England
  	From PR entry (image on Ancestry, viewed 7 Mar 2019) Shows George Beacon, Bachelor married Martha Wyeatt, Spinster married by Banns. Both signed, witnesses John Wyeatt and Mary Wyeat also both signed. (I don't know what George would be doing in London / why he would marry there, but given the right Christian names for the parents of the Georges baptised in Sheerness in 1814 and 1815 it seems probably the right couple)

  [S255] Chancery Court case: Becon vs Gorham 1870, Becon vs Gorham 1870., Ref. C 16/618/B98 (Reliability: 3). There is a reference to George Beacon being "accompanied by ... William Beacon his son by a former marriage" (former that is to his marriage to Ann Reynolds). This was referring to an event on 7 Aug 1843. Although this is in wording excepted as George was objecting on the grounds it was scandalous, I suspect most of it is accurate, and certainly that this son existed.
