Beard Families

[eileendavid]

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.
