Beard Families

[Willow 4873]

Hiya Alf

Just to say thanx as one of your transcripts on the MI site is of my GGGGGrandfather John Beard of Redbrook died 3.1.1833 buried Lydney

It just cracked part of the wall because I have found his wife remarried and I have just found her on the 1851 census and gave me an approximate year of birth for him (although I cant link up a baptism yet)

Thanx again

Thanks very much, Sue for your prompt reply.
This confirms William as the son of Henry and Ann
Would this be Henry born 1786 and Ann Tipping?

Regards
Chris

There is no mention of Anns` maiden name unfortunately but he is the only William I can find who was baptised in the year you gave

Hi all re the Beards of Glous

Im trying to track down what happened to a George Beard from Tetbury,

He was born in 1883 and was the son of Henry Howard Beard and Charlotte Beard (was Underhill)

In 1911 his Family consisted of

Henry 1882
John Samuel 1885
Charlotte 1888
Edward 1890
Sarah 1892
Robert 1894
Margaret Isabella (Became Fisher) 1897

My Father in law was originally Donald Beard born 1921 in Blackburn Lancs, mother was Maud Mary Dando (was Chappell) from Leighterton Glos, although she put Beard as her Married name on the birth Certificate I can find no record of her ever marrying George Beard and She was Dando up untill her Death,

Don grew up in Tresham Glous and eventually changed his name by deed poll in 1943 back to his mothers married name of Dando,

Does any of this link in with anything anyone else has..

Hi
William Henry Beard was my GGG Grandfather. He married Eliza Caves whilst he was stationed in Ireland with the 46th Reg. of Foot. Their son, William John (my GG Grandfather), was born in Templemore Barracks and the family eventually settled in Suckley where William Henry and Eliza are buried. William John moved to Birmingham where he married Mary Langford at The Old Chapel in Smethwick.
My G Grandfather Arthur Thomas (aka Thomas Arthur) was their 2nd son, the eldest being William who married Alice Hadley.  Arthur Thomas was killed in action in WW1 and is named on the Bearwood War memorial. Arthur Thomas had 2 daughters, the eldest Ivy May was my Nan.
Hope this is useful to someone.
