Here is a tough one!
I am involved in a project researching early Church of England clergy in the South Pacific. Often we don't have much to go on and as a rule we don't spend money on it, with over 1600 people researched to date, we simply could not afford it. It is really surprising how much we manage to glean using online resources and trips to the NZ libraries and archives, often just following up a small clue or a hunch.
This man must one of the most difficult, and I don't think that certificates would help anyway! This is all I have BEECHER, John born c1822 died 20 Jan 1858 aged 36 buried 22 Jan 1858 Symonds St cemetery Auckland (124) [Note  1822) a John BEECHER curate Doneraile Ireland – but clearly not the same person, conceivably related] Today in the Gale 19C newspapers I saw mention of: John T Beecher, St George the Martyr, High Street. Borough, Minister of the Church of England, the report was to do with the RSPCA. Reported November 16 1861. Possibly the same one as the curate in Ireland, maybe not. Can anyone find me some kind of clue that I can follow up on John b1822? I am going away for the weekend shortly, so am not ignoring anyone, I can't add any more info to help in the search because I don't have any.......

The Easebourne one seems unlikely as the Beachers seem to be Ag Labs. So back to the drawing board!

Pity it's not Richard B you are looking for as his full name (IGI) is RICHARD SAVAGE FRANCH FANE BECHER, which would have made things easier! lol
