FamilyBorn in 1809, Beecroft was the son of George Beecroft and Mary Audus. He first married his cousin Septima Garland Butler, daughter of Thomas Butler and Anne Beecroft in 1835.[2][3] Together, they had two children. The first died in infancy, and the second, Septima, died in 1868. His wife, Septima, died in 1837.[4] In 1842, he married to Mary Isabella Beaumont, daughter of George Beaumont. Together, they had two children: George Audus Beaumont (1844–1873) and Mary Alice, who died in infancy.[4][2] Early lifeBeecroft was educated for a mercantile life at Horton House, in Bradford, until he was 17. He then moved into the iron trade, working with his father and uncle, Thomas Butler (senior), at Kirkstall forge, and eventually becoming a partner.[4] In 1841, he entered into partnership with his cousins - John Octavius Butler, Thomas Butler (junior), and Ambrose Edward Butler - at Beecroft, Butler and Co, before retiring in 1855.[2][4] Political careerBeecroft began his career as a member of the Leeds Town Council in 1849, holding office there until 1856. Outside of this, he was also President of the Leeds Conservative Association, a surveyor of highways, a churchwarden, and an active member of the Leeds Chamber of Commerce.[4] He was elected a Liberal-Conservative - nominally a Conservative - MP for Leeds at a by-election in 1857 - with politics supporting the Church of England, encouraging popular education, and extending the franchise - and held the seat until he stood down in 1868, owing to ill health.[5][4] Other activitiesBeecroft was also a Justice of the Peace and Deputy Lieutenant of the West Riding of Yorkshire.[4] References1. ^{{Rayment-hc|l|1|date=February 2018}} 2. ^1 2 {{cite web|title=George Skirrow Beecroft|url=https://www.gracesguide.co.uk/George_Skirrow_Beecroft#cite_note-1|website=Grace's Guide to British Industrial History|accessdate=21 February 2018}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=Thomas Butler, Senior|url=https://www.gracesguide.co.uk/Thomas_Butler,_Senior|website=Grace's Guide to British Industrial History|accessdate=21 February 2018}} 4. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 {{cite web|title=George Skirrow Beecroft Esq.|url=http://www.becraft.info/becraft/i5082.htm|website=The Beecroft/Becraft/Bycraft/etc - Genealogy Page|accessdate=21 February 2018}} 5. ^{{cite book|editor1-last=Craig|editor1-first=F.
