Hi Dawn,
Sorry but my Peter Beard (might be known as Smith) was born much earlier than 1940.
He was sent to Great Barr as a young man and lived the rest of his life there. I've never found either his birth or his death , there again I don't know where or what name he was registered under. My uncle who is aged 92 remembers him visiting their house in the late 1920's early 1930's but could only remember the name Peter - no surname.
I've still not managed to find much else about him - he was the child of my grandfathers sister and was born before she was married.
Our Beards come from Pershore, Worcestershire.
