Hi Roger
Many thanks for your reply. Do you have any information on that Beard family or do you know of any Beard Families that may be able to help me out ? I was in Cinderford Churchyard yesterday and found a few graves, but I have yet to connect them to the Beard's I found one and it was Gladyd Emily Beard nee Virgo, Gladys Emily, born abt 1888.
Many regards
Alf

Hello Alf,
The only one I know of, Gilbert Beard, lives or lived in Soudley. He is or was in the Telephone Book.
I believe he is/was descendant of Emily Virgo (Nee Richings) 1866 - 1958. I have a photograph of her, as a young woman. She is buried in Blakeney Tabernacle. Her Birth entry at GRO is June Qtr. 1866 Westbury S. 6a 205. She married Charles Virgo and they lived in the next house down from my greatgrandparents on Bradley Hill.
Emily's sister Hannah, born 1863 married my grandfathers brother William 1862 -1904.
Regards,
Roger

Hi Helina
Sorry for not getting back to you. Yes, Giles from Horton, he should be with my lot, but there is a link missing and I can not find it, yet!.
That info will be of use to me, very much appreciated.
Any information on the Beards is gladly received
Alf
-
Hi
Not sure if this will help, but Giles's daughter Rebecca married into the Blakeney family. My Grat Aunt Eleanor Coole married a Alfred Blakeney in 1871. Are you just interested in the Beard family?
helina
-
Hi
Is that the Blakeney family from Hawksbury area. and have some information on that side and my cousin [male] is also married into that family. No, I am also following the other surnames in my tree, but it is the link with the Horton Beard and mine from Cromhall that has got me a bit stuck

Hi Alf,

I cannot find any trace of them after this!
Best wishes

Hiya Alf
Just to say thanx as one of your transcripts on the MI site is of my GGGGGrandfather John Beard of Redbrook died 3.1.1833 buried Lydney
It just cracked part of the wall because I have found his wife remarried and I have just found her on the 1851 census and gave me an approximate year of birth for him (although I cant link up a baptism yet)
Thanx again

Hi Chris,
Welcome to Rootschat ;D From parish transcriptions there is this baptism:-
William Beard - 9th September 1823 at St Mary, Painswick
Son of Henry & Ann of Sheepscombe
Fathers Occupation - Shoemaker
Sue
-
Thanks very much, Sue for your prompt reply.
This confirms William as the son of Henry and Ann
Would this be Henry born 1786 and Ann Tipping?

There is no mention of Anns` maiden name unfortunately but he is the only William I can find who was baptised in the year you gave :)

Hi all re the Beards of Glous
Im trying to track down what happened to a George Beard from Tetbury,
He was born in 1883 and was the son of Henry Howard Beard and Charlotte Beard (was Underhill)
In 1911 his Family consisted of
Henry 1882
John Samuel 1885
Charlotte 1888
Edward 1890
Sarah 1892
Robert 1894
Margaret Isabella (Became Fisher) 1897
My Father in law was originally Donald Beard born 1921 in Blackburn Lancs, mother was Maud Mary Dando (was Chappell) from Leighterton Glos, although she put Beard as her Married name on the birth Certificate I can find no record of her ever marrying George Beard and She was Dando up untill her Death,
Don grew up in Tresham Glous and eventually changed his name by deed poll in 1943 back to his mothers married name of Dando,
Does any of this link in with anything anyone else has..

Hi
William Henry Beard was my GGG Grandfather. He married Eliza Caves whilst he was stationed in Ireland with the 46th Reg. of Foot. Their son, William John (my GG Grandfather), was born in Templemore Barracks and the family eventually settled in Suckley where William Henry and Eliza are buried. William John moved to Birmingham where he married Mary Langford at The Old Chapel in Smethwick.
My G Grandfather Arthur Thomas (aka Thomas Arthur) was their 2nd son, the eldest being William who married Alice Hadley. Arthur Thomas was killed in action in WW1 and is named on the Bearwood War memorial. Arthur Thomas had 2 daughters, the eldest Ivy May was my Nan.
Hope this is useful to someone.

Thank you all for the many responses to my query on Daniel BEARD. An outline of the generations to Cornelius & Moses Beard's who came to Western Australia are.(1) Daniel b.1645 (Painswick, Gloucestershire) & Mary Lawrence, (2) Daniel b.1667 & Mary, (3) Samuel b.1685 (Painswick, Gloucestershire) & not stated, (4) John b.1723 (Standish Gloucestershire) & Mary Blizzard, William b.1736 (Tetbury Gloucestershire) & Mary Dicks, (5), William b.1762 (Longhope, Gloucestershire) & Alice Witts, (6) Stephen b.1791 (Tetbury, Gloucestershire) & Rebecca Sharpe, **** Two of the sons' of Stephen & Rebecca , Cornelius b.1830 & Moses b.1826 both in Tetbury came to Western Australia in 1857 and I am researching their life for my friend. Both of these men had large families here and I was hoping to fill in the gaps in England- Roser

Hi
I am related to the Beard family of Brighton and Rottingdean, Sussex. My 14x GG was Richard Beard b 1492 and he married Elizabeth. I don't seem to be able to go any further back, but then that's not too surprising.
In trying to search for relations to Richard b 1492 I came across a Gyles Beard buried in 1611 in Rowner in Hampshire. Whilst trying to trace when he was born, I came across a Gyles Beard b 1582 in Painswick, Gloucester, he married a Margaret Okey on 22 Nov 1607 - I'm not sure if they are the same person?
I'm not sure how far back you are going? I'd be very interested to know of any Beard's that are around the 15th and 16th century if you have any.
The furthest I can find is a John Beard in 1402 in Lincoln. My theory is that they may all be related originally?!?
The Beard's of Sussex became Quakers in 1666, and there seems to be a tradition of Beard's going into the church, or as Quakers, and the name crops up across the pond too - I wonder if through their ministrys that they kept in touch across the country.
Any thoughts, or possible links to Gloucestershire, or anywhere else, would be greatfully appreciated.

Any info for a Miss Beard that married a Brown in Bristol then immigrated to Canada, and returned home after death of a daughter.
If you have any information, I would be very grateful
Michelle

Hi Alf, just wanted to say that I have traced my Beards back to Childs Wickham, is that the same as yours?
-
Hi Joanna1979
I have been collating All the Gloucestershire Beard families. Mine were all over the place, some ended up in Lancashire. If you would like to share your info PM me wand I will give you my e-mail. I will then ahve a look at what I have and get back to you,
Regards
Alf

Alf,
Whilst at the Glo'ster R.O. last week being shown the ropes by GillG , Gill found a Bisley GLS marriage banns record for me and surprise, surprise, on the print we made is a Beard marriage so I thought I might as well let you know.
Transcripted:-
"Banns of Marriage between Isaac Hunt and Ann Beard were published Oct 30 Nov 6th and 13th 1808 by J Green."
"Isaac Hunt of this Parish Bachelor and Ann Beard of this Parish Spinster were married in this Church by Banns ('with consent of' crossed out) this 25th Day of Nov'r in the Year One Thousand Eight Hundred and eight by me John Green Curate"
Isaac and Ann made their marks and one of the witnesses Isaac Beard also made his mark. The other witness appears on other records so may be the parish clerk I suppose.
Regards
Chas

Hi,
I've been researching my family including the Beards for about 4 months. With the help of FOD.net, Alf's transcriptions of Lydney Church and Willow4873, I've managed to trace back to my gggggGrandparents Samuel and Ann. A lot really helpful and very nice people out there.
My line follows down through Charles Edward (1867 - 1942) and Hannah Jane (1865 -1930). Hannah Jane Coslett has proved an enigma; she appears on just one census with that name, 1881 and then appears as a Beard in 1901.
I'd be particularly interested if anyone has any information on Charles' brother, Henry George Beard (1876 - ????). He moved to Cheltenham and became the owner of the Collesium cinema as it was for a number of years. He was married to May Clift and they had 3 daughters none of whom I believe married. He was a tobacconists assistant in 1901 and there's no indication how he made the transition.

Hi,
This is message for GWRL who sent me a personal message. Being new to Roots chat and not knowing my way around I'm not sure how to send a message back as it says I'm either not allowed to do so or my profile is full when I click on the item in my inbox.
In short, I do have some John Lloyds in my family tree but none for the dates you quoted I'm afraid. By coincidence though, part of my Beard line ran out married Chrums in Canada.
-
Hi Alf- I think that I spoke to you a while ago, concerning brothers Moses Beard born 1828 (Tetbury) & Cornelius Beard born 1830 (Tetbury) both sons of Stephen & Rebecca nee Sharpe . They came to Western Australia per the vessel "City of Bristol"in 1856 and settled in the Northam District. I have been busy with my sister who has now passed away and I wonder if you have any info on their line. Stephen son of William & Alice nee WITTS, William son of William & Mary nee Dicks, William son of John & Mary nee Blizzard, John son of Samuel & Not Stated, Samuel son of Daniel & Mary nee Not Stated, Daniel son of Daniel & Mary nee Lawrence. - Romany Roser

Hello Joanna1979,
I was very interested to read your mail to Alf concerning your links to Childswickham.
I have traced my line back to the early 1800 in Studley, Warwickshire and also another Beard line in a neighbouring village, Ipsley.
I have failed to make the link between the two families yet, but firmly believe that there is one.
However I have found a direct connection from the Ipsley Beards to Childswickham via John Beard 1781 born Wickham Gloucestershire.
Are you related and if so do you have any info you might wish to share?
You are welcome to anything I have.
Was Alf helpful to you? I will try to contact him to if you think it worthwhile.
Kind Regards
Keith Beard

Hiya Keith
Welcome to Rootschat!
Its worth speaking to Alf he might be able to help (you cant send a PM until after you have made 3 posts)
If we ever manage to sort all the Beard families in Gloucestershire out maybe we can all see how we are related :)
The earliest one I can confirm in my direct line is John Beard b 1776 probably son of Samuel and Ann of Framilode

Hello Willow,
Thanks for putting me straight.
As you can see I am green here.
Your tree is very impressive.
I have about 240 names originating from my Beard line in Warwickshire which I think moved from Gloucestershire around 1800. Sadly though I have not found one living Beard relative outside immediate family.
Thanks again for your help.
Kind regards
Keith

Hiya Keith
I know the feeling I havent found any Beard relatives either :'( my line went from Newland, Gloucs to Cookley, Worcs then to Wolverhampton, Staffs

Hiya Dan
Welcome to Rootschat!
Please ask your Grandpa lots of questions about his family! a living memory of any Beard relatives is more than welcome as Keith said we are in short supply
One day we may all see how the Beard name is connected but welcome to a distant (however far) cousin
Willow x

Hi Keith
Sorry, I have only just seen this.
My Beards in Childs Wickham start with William Beard born 1766. The family line ended up in Birmingham and then Coventry and then that's the end of the road for the my (well my husbands) Beards on our line. The last remaining male Beard on our branch died in 1965.
Joanna

Hi Joanna,
Thanks for your reply.
If in any of your research on the Beards from Wickham you come across a John Beard c1781, then I can help with the continuation of that line. I cant promise to link him to living Beard relatives, however, I am working on it!
Regards,
Keith

Willow - Cookley isn't far from me in Kidderminster and I know at least 2 Beard family's there - one running an electrical company in Stourport. Not sure if it's relevant but don't give up on the living Beard's!

Hi,
Hope you have received my pm, Alf.
Now do some more research on the Beard family and on familysearch have come across this baptism which differs from the one I have.
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/J3SN-JG7
I have William Beard being baptised on the 13 Augest, sibling Jane I have as born in 1783 so cannot see another child called William being born.
Unfortunately cannot recall where I obtained the first baptism.
Can anyone put any light on the 2 baptisms.

Hi thank you for your reply
Accordily William Beard was born 13 April 1762 at Tetbury , Gloucestershire, England. He died in England, not sure about his sister Jane. He had a son name Stephen Beard? Maybe Stephen,s brother or son name was Moses Ion Beard, born in 1826 died in Northam , Western Australia on the 4.4 1891. He immigrated in Australia with his wife Mary Beard née Mann. They had 5 children, John, Ernest, Cornelius, Jane and Sarah.
Ernest Stephen Beard born 1856 died 1921 in Northam, Western Australia. He married to Ruth Blake , and they had children. They had a son also name was Ernest Stephen Beard. He married to Victoria Blake. They both buried in Northam, Western Australia. They had children. Their daughter name was Pansy Ida Harman née Beard. Pansy was my grand mother. She was born on 20 th February 1916 died on 25 th January 1981 buried in Northam
I am from Western Australia.
Not sure this the correct William Beard?
Thanks
Dianne Thomas

Not sure that any of these dates are right, but here's what I've collected from various sources:
Daniel Beard (b.1645) and Mary Lawrence (b.1643) had four sons: Samuel (b. 1665), Daniel (b.1667), Stephen (b.1668), and Nathanial (b.1670).

I’m not sure if there were three Samuels, or if there was only one and the dates have been mixed up, but the source I got it from listed three separate Samuels.
Samuel (either b.1684 or b,1685) married Elizabeth ____ (b.1684) and had a daughter and two sons: Elizabeth(b.1720), John (b.1723), and Henry (b.1726).
John Beard married Mary Blizzard (b.1722) and had a son and two daughters: William(b.1736, d.1799), Sarah (b.1751), and Anne (b.1753)
William Beard married Mary Dicks (b.1736, d.1754) and had four sons and five daughters: William (b.1762, d.1793), George (b.1763), Nancy (b.1765), Betty (b.1766), Jane (b.1769), Mary (b.1773), Joseph (b.1775), Benjamin (b.1776), and Hannah (b.1778).
William married Alice Witts (b.1762) and had one son and one daughter: Stephen (b.1791, d.1875), and Eleanor (b.??)
Stephen married Rebecca Sharp (b.1791, d.1860)
Eleanor married Isaac Mann (b.??)
Stephen/Rebecca and Eleanor/Isaac both had large families so if anyone would like further information, let me know. I've only got names and dates, but I'm happy to share with anyone who would like them.

Hi all.
I have no Beard connections, as far as I know, but randomly spotted a gravestone for Samuel Beard, a policeman killed in the line of duty aged 37 in 1861, while ancestor-hunting in Littledean church graveyard. The story was interesting so I photographed it. Maybe it is of interest to someone. PM me and I can e-mail the photo (too big to attach to this post).

Hi,
Just read about the BEARD's. I have a Vera Gwendolen BEARD born 1895 Colchester, Essex who married Fred D. BARKER, 1921 in Colchester. They settled in Bristol and had 3 children 1]. Cyril b.1924. 2]. James, b.1927. 3]. Philip Reginald b.1928.
Does anyone have any further info about this family?

Hello all,
New to RootsChat and read about Constable SAMUEL BEARD (born 1824 in Arlingham), whose memorial is in Little Dean churchyard. He is my wife's gggfather and we have seen and photographed the grave. I have all the details of his death from newspaper reports. Samuel married JANE MORTON in Cheltenham on 7 Dec 1844. His father's name was THOMAS, but I have no more details. Does this tie into any existing Beard tree, please?
Regards,
Peter

Hi Helina,
I have taken a fresh look at your original post, ignoring all subsequent posts.
Source: Gloucestershire Family History Society (GFHS) Gloucestershire Baptisms 1813-1837.
I have trawled through all the BEARD baptisms, and there are many, and have extracted all the St Mary, Arlingham baptisms.
Children of William & Ann BEARD, a Labourer of Arlingham:-
03/04/1825, Ann BEARD
13/05/1827, William BEARD
27/12/1829, Elizabeth BEARD
30/01/1833, Thomas Probyn BEARD
There are NO other BEARD baptisms in Arlingham 1813-1837.
Source: GFHS, Gloucestershire Marriage Index 1800-1837.
There is NO trace of a marriage between William BEARD & Ann that fits the baptism of their first child, Ann, 3rd April 1825.
Hope that helps?

I don't know if anyone can help me with our ancestors whose name was Beard. The Beard’s entered our family history when Mary Beard born in Donnington Shropshire 22.06.1800 married Richard Titley at Wrockwardine Shropshire on 23.04.1820.
The only marriage I was able to find was at Stockport St Mary's of Thomas Beard (1775) to Jemima Pickering (1776) (Dickring/Pickring) on 03.06.1799. Thomas at the time was a soldier.
Mary was the eldest of twelve children all born in Shropshire to Thomas and Jemima Beard. The children were named
Mary 22.06.1800 Donnington
Jane 27.02.1803 Donnington
Elizabeth 02.06.1805 Albrighton
Sarah 15.02.1807 Albrighton
Thomas 12.03.1809 Albrighton

This is were our dilemma starts when we found an 1841 census for 1841 HO107/909/1 33 page 4 for Albrighton Shropshire for Thomas Beard and his wife Jemima. Thomas is an Ag Lab aged 65 and recorded as born in the county. Jemima is aged 66 and also recorded as born in the county.
However at the same address of Clocks Hills Albrighton the 1851 census HO107 1987 127 page 18 Thomas Beard is recorded as widowed aged 75 an Ag Lab from Gloucestershire with what looks like Long Oaks. I have had this checked by Gloucester history society who advises there is no such area in Gloucestershire and it must be Longhope.
The only baptism I could find was 22.10.1775 of a Thomas Beard at Longhope son of Thomas and Betty Beard. Again one of 12 children so I got in touch with Longhope History Society and they gave me all the children of Thomas and his wife Betty
Joseph s. Thomas and Betty c. 3/1/1771 (born prior to marriage?)
Sarah d. Thomas and Betty c. 17/7/1774
Thomas s. Thomas and Betty c. 22/10/1775
Nancy d. Thomas and Betty c. 6/4/1777
James s. Thomas and Elizabeth c. 22/8/1779
Job s. Thomas and Elizabeth c. 10/12/1781 (d. 8/12/1781)
Charles s. Thomas and Elizabeth c. 20/4/1783
Lucy d. Thomas and Elizabeth c. 18/12/1785
William s. Thomas and Elizabeth c. 23/4/1789
George s. Thomas and Elizabeth c. 11/12/1791
Joel s. Thomas and Elizabeth c. 25/12/1793
Richard s. Thomas and Elizabeth c. 3/7/1796
From information given Longhope advised It is interesting to note at this point in the Register of Burials: Elizabeth Beard d. 3/7/1796 died it is the same day as her last child was born?
According to Longhope Thomas Beard (1754) married Betty Thackwell (1752) on 28/2/1774
Thomas Beard s. William and Mary c. 30/6/1754 - Betty Thackwell d Thomas and Winifred c 07.06.1752
There were no marriages at Longhope of William and Mary.Beard
Longhope also gave me Burials of a Mary Beard d. 20/4/1827: 85 (born abt. 1742)
Thomas Beard d. 12/10/1830: 90 (born abt. 1740) Could these have been our Thomas parent’s who moved to Longhope? Can't find a marriage or any children.
The problem is there seems to only be one Thomas baptised in Longhope and according to the history society I quote
“It would seem a fair assumption that after the death of Betty in 1796,
Thomas later remarried Mary Attwood (she does not appear in the Register
of Baptisms) in 1801 given their approximate ages. This leaves Thomas
(1775) who seems to have married Sarah Bowcut in 1809 and later Betty in
1814. He eventually died on 18/4/1842 aged 67. He is located in grave
32G of All Saints' Church” There is also a census 1841 for a Thomas Beard at Upper Longhope age 65
Anyone out there searching the same Beard family who can point me in the right direction or give me a clue as to were I go from here. ???

Hello Willow & Victor
Thank you for your quick reply. It was Longhope History who told me they couldn't find a marriage of William and Mary so thanks for that. I still can't tie up Thomas Beard born 1775 as the one of my history as he died in Shifnal Shropshire in 1853 his wife Jemima also died in Shifnal 1849. So doesn't tie up with the burial at Longhope of Thomas aged 67 who died in 1842.
I need to find if there were two Thomas Beard's born in Longhope Gloucestershire in 1775 of which one moved to Shropshire via Stockport.
Just thought with there being so many burials in Longhope that more than one couple might have had a son Thomas born in 1775

Hello again
Well the information given to me by Willow of a marriage in 1761of William Beard and Mary Dicks at Longhope was unfortunately 7 years after the birth of Thomas which was in 1754. However considering they had kids for 20 years they could have been the parents of a Thomas born 1775
The burials could prove significant in my tangled web. I had the Thomas Beard who was buried at Longhope 22/04/1842 age 67 but that Thomas Beard born in 1775 never left Longhope I think he also married an Elizabeth who was born in 1779 and died 15/10/1852 (73) she was also buried at Longhope.
In the list of burials given there could be another two couples buried at Longhope
1. Mary Beard 1742 – 28.04.1827 (85) Thomas Beard 1739 – 12.10.1829 (90)
2. Sarah Beard 1759 – 28.03.1840 (81)Thomas Beard 1748 – 02.10.1840 (92)
Did either of them have a son Thomas in 1775 in Longhope or near vicinity?
Then of course there is Thomas Beard born 1775 in Longhope parents Thomas and Betty who I suppose could be mine and not the baptism of Thomas buried at Longhope?
Help very much needed to untangle this mystery. Longhope say the only baptism is the one on the LDS ??? :'(

Have just come across your message dated 7 Nov, Victor, which I will look though, thanks.
Some more Beard quires.
Found these entries on family search while looking for the wife of John Parker from Olveston.
Marriage in 1842 to Elizabeth Eleanor Beard from Henbury Gloucestershire, got me interested any relationship to my Beards?
Appeared Elizabeth's parents were called William and Ann, I have no more information on them.
Elizabeth was born in 1815, found 6 siblings?
James b 1815
John b 1818
Sophia b 1824
Thomas b 1826
The last 2 I am not sure although FS give the parents as William and Ann, because of the year gap
Soloman b 1833
Mary Ann b 1837.
All born in Henbury.
Have been onto ancestry and cannot find Solomon or Mary Ann on the census.
Any help would be appreciated

My connection to the Beard line is direct, but very old - Marjorie Beard of Sarsden, Oxfordshire, married Austin Shayler of Lyneham, Oxfordshire on 29th September 1627, making her my 8th great-grandmother.
I've not found any other definite family member, though in the Shipton under Wychwood church records, a William Beard served as Church Warden for Lyneham 1628-29. This could very well be Marjorie's father, but I've no other information. Any pointers appreciated!

Victor, This burial you advised me of in Westbury. Westbury is in Shropshire and is the area were the Titley's are from. My Mary Beard born 1800 married Richard Titley 1799. Mary was the daughter of Thomas Beard born Longhope 1775/1776 but whose death was recorded at Shifnal 1853. Any idea who this infant was buried with this could be the link to my Beard's who moved from Longhope Gloucester to Shropshire.

I see this Thread has come to life again. I delved and came up with the following.
I saw Gilbert Beard, Sutton Road, bn 1922 in the late 80's at Soudley. he was sitting out in front of a garage type building for buses.
Back in the 80's I was told he was related to Emily Virgo, 1866 to 1958. Emily was younger sister of Hannah Richings 1863 to 1897.
Charles Virgo married Emily Richings in 1892. I then looked for 1911 Census to see if any daughters. In 1911 Gladys Louise 13 and Dorothy 8.
Gladys L married ? Beard in 1919. Their son was Gilbert W.
I attach a photo of Emily Virgo (Richings) c1890 (puff upper sleeves) and at a wedding in 1922 (Seated 2nd from right)

Hello all,
This is a bit of a long shot. I am a descendent of Elizabeth Beard (1765?-1851), daughter of William Beard (1737-1776) and Elizabeth Tozer (1735-1776). An auto-suggestion anomaly has arisen suggesting she was born in Calvados, Normandy and that her son, William Russell, might have been too. (I seriously doubt it!) However, there is a family legend, shared also by other descending families that there were links to France and revolutionaries around this time. Has anyone else come across this?

Hello all,
New to RootsChat and read about Constable SAMUEL BEARD (born 1824 in Arlingham), whose memorial is in Little Dean churchyard. He is my wife's gggfather and we have seen and photographed the grave. I have all the details of his death from newspaper reports. Samuel married JANE MORTON in Cheltenham on 7 Dec 1844. His father's name was THOMAS, but I have no more details. Does this tie into any existing Beard tree, please?
Regards,
Peter
Samuel Beard was also my great great grandfather. I would love to know your wife’s family history. Emily Beard (his daughter) was my great grandmother. I actually have Samuel and Jane’s original marriage certificate though I have had it restored as it was very delicate. I can’t seem to get any further back on either Samuel or Jane’s ancestors.
