My Mother's cousin was a Beard who was an alderman and mayor of Oldbury in the 1930s. Does he fit into the picture. My Beards came to Aston Birmingham from Shropshire.

I have a picture of Alderman BEard and Wife in civic regalia but it has disappeared under our 'deep litter' system of filing we opeate here :-[ :-[ :-[
Will check out the Daniels book of Oldbury.
Another interesting branch of the Beards is Bill and Ivor Beard who both got awarded the MBE for war services. Bill [ born 1906] son of William was in the Birmingham Fire Service.

Hales Owen, Shropshire
Township of Oldbury
New Merty? T
Thos Beard, 45, Labourer, no
Edd, 13, Miner, no
Sarah, 11, no
Josh, 8, no
Harrit, 5, yes
A possible? :)

I have also now found the picture of him and his wife in the civic regalia.
