About Jack Beech
Curiously, Jack seems to have named his youngest son after his brother-in-law Donald Cumming Robertson. Seems odd. But then his niece Constance named her second son after him. Anyway, this nails the identity of Jack Beech and John Henry Beech. Also see the probate document discussion below for the real clincher.

The probate document uploaded here (see the Media tab) shows that John Henry Beech's estate was managed by George Dance baker, William Henry Beach and Isabella Beach. The presence of George Dance makes it certain that this is Jack Beech, George's wife's uncle. William Henry is Jack's son, and Isabella is William's wife.
