I can find the Beard Family 1841/1851 but George Snr  has died by 1871 Census as Jemima is living with her daughter Kezia, now married to  George VINCENT.
Jemima now says she was born Kingswood, Gloustershire.
So Glous/Wilts may have changed borders as said earlier.
Her death appears to be reg 1871, Wells, Somerset.

It is all circumstantial but George naming his daughter Jemima in Australia seems the clincher to me.
Plus George Jnr was a Blacksmith.

Thanks Trish for answering Jenn
Sorry Jenn that I missed your query re the length of time in the colony.
Where did you find the George Berd arriving in Vic?
I have no idea what kind of an accent GB would have had but perhaps
Beard could sound like Berd

Jenn, don't you agree that the family as outlined in the 1851 is likely
Oh dear, if only wishing could make it so

Looking for more information on Catherine Ashman. She was my husbands great great grandmother and lived in the Armidale district.

Welcome to Rootschat Jenny
Well now, Catherine Ashman's maiden name was Pamplin. she was born in Bottisham
Cambridegeshire in c1826 and her parents were Richard Pamplin and Ann Randal. Catherine married Thomas Ashman in c1849  and in 1858/9 emigrated to Australia with Thomas and their daughters Amy and Mary Ann on the ship 'Regina'. (I don't have my notes to hand at the moment).
thomas died in early 1859 outside Glen Innes and on the 1 Dec 1859 Catherine married George Beard in Bundarra NSW.

I'm Catherine's GG/Granddaughter from her second marriage.

What else do you wish to know?
If you ask me specific questions I'll be more able to help you. Your husband and I would be 3rd
cousins but only through Catherine.

Thanks for all the information and for replying so soon. I am relatively new to ancestry searching and am only just finding out about a lot of our ancestors. My husband descended from Jemima Beard. She married Edward Court (second marriage) and and my husbands grandmother was Mona Court. I am still searching for details on them. Are you from the same family? In May we are going to Armidale to try and find out more from the historical society. I was told Edward Court disappeared and Jemima re married. Would appreciate any other info you may have on these family members.
