Hi cuz John,

Well done - will be interested to see the results of your findings!

Ally does this make us cousins too? Re-reading your messages I think not? But at least we have cousins in common, for sure!

Cheers

Karen.

Dear Karen, I've been helping a young lady named Aine Beard with the BEARD part of the tree.  She was a GR member but I think her membership has lapsed.

There's so many BEARDs also that it is a hard name to research.   My connection is to the MERRY and MOST family, they were my ancestors.  There are a few BEARDs from her line that married into my MERRY and MOST family.  My bunch are listed in Heather Rohrer's family tree online - Google Roads family of Buckinghamshire and you will see a rootsweb world connect tree - one place name study etc.  Massive.

Alison.

Dear Dibbley, Hi and a big welcome to RootsChat.  I have seen many instances in my own family tree of sisters from one family marrying brothers from another family.  Perhaps this is the case in this instance.

A perusal of the NSW BDM indexes online (free) reveals a marriage in 1868 registration no. 1536 between groom Thomas ROLLINGS and bride Mary Ann BEARD in Armidale, New South Wales.

You can purchase their Marriage Certificate for $26.00 securely online (look for the gold padlock in your browser).

Good luck,
Alison

PS No doubt parts of your family tree will have links with mine.

We also have an interest in Rollings, Beard and others from around Inverell.
No real break-throughs to add to this discussion as yet but can point out the above (transcription) error in NSW bdm:

Ruth Rollings m Obadiah FAWYER in Armidale in 1862

FAWYER is actually TURNER.
They were married at Manilla, according to our records.

One thing eventually leads to another.

James Beard who married Sarah Rollings, is a brother of Frederick Beard who married Mary Ann Glover (the Mary Ann Beard who married Thomas Rollings).
William Beard 1816 and family, including new wife Mary (nee King, I think) were Assisted Immigrants on the "Tantivy" in late 1854, real 2137, 2467   



BEARD Frederick 14
BEARD Hannah 4      
BEARD James 11      
BEARD John 8   
BEARD Joseph A 19      
BEARD Mary 26      
BEARD Ridgwell 13      
BEARD William 9

Dear HiltonLee, Thank you very much for taking up a renewed interest in the Beards and Rollings settlers in Inverell/Warialda.  Your last post is extremely interesting.  I had assumed as much that 1st wife Sarah Rollings must have died before 1851 and that William remarried, I had Mary Ann Glover also.

I'm following closely sons Frederick & James Beard's lines as there are two connections with other families in my tree.

Best wishes.
