Bartholomew Becher

Bartholomew Becher was born in 1550, most likely in London. He was the son of Henry Becher and wife Alice Heron. Bartholomew is the least known son of Henry Becher. He Matriculated at Peterhouse, Cambridge in 1572 & was admitted to the Middle Temple on 12 June 1573. He was called to the bar on 17 Oct 1589. There was a fine issued to a Mr Becher for missing a reading at Lent on the 5th May 1592 that may also refer to Bartholomew.

He married the daughter of Mr Miller. A land deed at the Surrey records office for 1580 names her as Alice. A pedigree say he died in 1591 in Ireland, but gives no source. He had no known children, although he is sometimes said to have 5 sons, but this is a misreading of old pedigrees that call him 5th son.
