Sarah/Elizabeth BECKWITH. from the 1841 Census, I believe Sarah's mother was Elizabeth, widowed at that point. Sarahs YOB1809/10, Elizabeth c1791. Sarah married George Richmond. I can't find anything concrete on Sarah's parents. I thought I had a christening in Southminster (few miles away), parents Thomas and Elizabeth, but they appeared to have children from 1806 which would have made Elizabeth 15. I couldn't find a marriage for Thomas and Elizabeth, or a death for him, to prove he was Elizabeth's husband. Hence I am no closer knowing Elizabeth's maiden name. I thought the family came from the Maldon district, but actually I have no proof of that either! I have only searched on familysearch, if anyone has access to anything else that could help... I would love to hear from you.
