Hi,
I have 2 brothers named William (Bill) b1906 and Ivor b1915 Beard, born Kings Norton, Birmingham.
Bill was in the National Fire Service in the City of Birmingham. Bill was largely responsible for the reorganisation in the West Midlands region.
He stayed with the fire service in Birmingham during the war.
In 1949 Bill was awarded the MBE in recognition of his work for the fire service.
His brother Ivor joined the RAF Volunteer Reserve in 1937.
By the outset of the war he was a qualified pilot with many flying hours to his credit and was called up at once.
As the war progressed Ivor became part of the intensive Training organisation based at the RAF Flying Training School at Sywell aerodrome in Northamptonshire.
Ivor taught British pilots as well as allied countries and Free French and Polish Forces.
In 1945 he received the MBE for his war service.
I would like to know who their parents were or any information about them. 
Regards
Dawn

whose father ?
You need to obtain that Marriage Cert to be bulletproof about earlier generations - and in fact, really you should get Bill or Ivors Birth Cert to be 100% certain of this.

Heres a likely candidate for the William E. Beard who married in the Kings N district in 1905 ..... again, you'd need the Marriage Cert to verify this entry ... but sadly his Father wasnt at home when the census was taken, so you'd need to look in 1891/81 too ...
