Charlotte Ellen Beck

  • Born: Cir 1880
  • Marriage (1): Graydon Richard Maynard in 1916

  Noted events in her life were:

• source. Jane Perry who notes: His third wife was Charlotte Ellen Beck whom he married in 1916, however he changed his name for this marriage to James Parkinson. Charlotte was the woman who found him out and had him imprisoned for being a bigamist. As you can imagine for the Newey family this was shocking news and it was such a difficult time that the family never really talked about it. I understand that Margaret Pricilla Newey happened to be travelling by boat back from Ceylon during 1911 with a family that employed her as a domestic nurse, when she met Mr Maynard. She left this employment that year (1911) and married Mr Maynard in Ombersley Worc's.
The day after Mr Maynard was charged as a bigamist news came to her via policeman knocking on her door, who asked her to identify Mr Maynard/Mr Parkinson as her husband. (this part of the story was told to me by my mother in law).(see connections below)
Mr Maynard left Margaret with little money so she had to find work to support their two children. She once again became a domestic but unfortunately was only able only to take her daughter with her to her new employment, leaving her son Charles John Maynard, Jack as he was known, with her sister Florence Violet Newey (1882) in Ombersley, As you know Jack died by drowning at the age of 15 at a place called Holt Fleet, which indeed is near Ombersley Worcestershire.


Charlotte married Graydon Richard Maynard in 1916. (Graydon Richard Maynard was born on 14 Jul 1856 in Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, California USA and died on 15 May 1919 in Parkhurst Prison, Isle of Wight England.)
