Are you researching BYARDS, my family mystery says our BEARD name was once BYARD. The only very very remote link with anything to do with BYARDS is that my Gt Gt Gt Grandfather Thomas BEARD married a woman from LINFORD. (He was living in Worcestershire at the time.)
Maybe he visited the BYARDS and came back with a wife? I have found BYARDS in LINFORD and NEWENT.
This is so unlikely to be resolved, yet ROOTSCHATTERS often perform miracles!
Thanks for the link I have Byards in my tree although distantly related
