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).

Daniel married Mary ____ and had five sons and five daughters: Samuel (1684), Samuel (b.1685), Sarah (b.1693), Beata (b.1694), John (b.1697), William (b.1701),  Judith (b.1701), Hannah (1702), Ursula (1703), and Samuel (b.1708, d.1747). 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,

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.

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

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.
