I am trying to trace the movement of the Beardsmore family from Gornal, Sedgley to - I think - the Wigan area. They were miners and some then went on to New Zealand.
Any help appreciated

Thanks Anjo. I think that it is probably Elisha, son of William and Rebecca Beardsmore I think he may have already gone to Wigan -ish by 1871. Still trying......

Hi Chris.
I presume you now are looking for Elisha Beardsmore chr 19 Nov 1820 parents William Beardsmore and Rebecca??. I will have a look for them now it is a bit clearer what you are after.

Me again. Had a look in the 1841
Take a look at these families and see if they are yours and then we can see what else we can find out for you. Remember that the info on the 1841 is very basic. Relationships aren't given and ages are rounded off.
William Beardsmore 40 Miner born in county
Rebecca " 40 "
Hannah " 15 "
Elizabeth " 15 "
William " 14 "
Mary " 12 "
Esther " 7 "
James " 5 "
John " 3 "
Found Elisha and he seems to be living with this family
Edward Harvey Miner 25 born in county
Ann " 30 "
John " 3 "
Mary " 9mts "
Elisha Beardsmore 20 Miner "
Mary Beardsmore 20 "
David Beardsmore 2 "

Both sets of Beardsmore living in Lower Gornal, Sedgely, Staffordshire
Hope this is your families.

Many thanks - that's great. I'll try to work it out from there!
Kind regards

Sorry Chris,
I thought you were looking for census records of your family. Were you just looking for people connected to your family or info as to where to find out about them.
Sorry if I have overstepped the mark. All the best with finding them
Angela.

Thanks Angela,
I have been tracing the family and I have been told (by a not very well informed source!) of the move from Gornal to Wigan. I am trying to find our whether that move really did happen. Unfortunately so far I have found six Elisha Beardsmores!
I will try the Wigan end as well.

Dear Chris,
I just happened to stumble across this website when I was looking up a cousin on the internet. I am from the Beardsmore branch that went to New Zealand. Having emigrated when I was 10 I don't know much about the family history but my parents are still alive and my father is Frank Beardsmore. His mother was Florence Anne who married I think Joseph Beardsmore. My dad still has a brother and two sisters alive in England, my uncle Alan would probably be the best source of information but you may already have made contact with him. I do have a copy of a family tree with many of the names that have been mentioned in other posts. I know you posted the question in 2005 so it is probably old news by now.
Cheers
Sue McKee

I would be really interested in this Sue. My email address is cs-associates@msn.com. If you could let me have any information that would be great. I understand that several Beardsmore we killed at the Kaitanganta mining disaster.
