Beard (Oldbury)

[Tati]

Hi Beardie,

While we are waiting for Alf to get back ...

Any idea of Edward's parents?

Searching later census for potential siblings, I see there's a Joseph Beard born ca. 1833 Stoke

On the 1841 census, I see:
HO107/908/9 41 31
Hales Owen, Shropshire
Township of Oldbury
New Merty? T
Thos Beard, 45, Labourer, no
Ed^d, 13, Miner, no
Sarah, 11, no
Jos^h, 8, no
Harrit, 5, yes

A possible?

I did manage to get a copy of the book on Oldbury with a picture of Donald Beard when Mayor of Oldbury.
I have also now found the picture of him and his wife in the civic regalia.

PM me if you want a copy.

Dos anyone kow his father  and mother ?
