Sarah Ann BEACON
Set As Default Person -
Name Sarah Ann BEACON Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born 5 Oct 1874 Teynham, Kent, England
- Date from 1939 register
Although born before her mother and (?step-)father married, and so registered at birth with the surname Mills, she was recorded as a Becon in the 1881 census and thereafter as Be(a)con.
In the 1881 census she was the 1st child listed, and shown as daughter rather than step-daughter of Edward. (Not good evidence she was his biological daughter, but rather the absence of evidence to suggest she wasn't). With her father named as Edward when she was baptised (even though recorded as Edward Mills) it seems fairly safe to assume she was Edward's daughter.
