Gloucestershire / Re: Beard Families
« on: Thursday 12 September 19 17:28 BST (UK) »
Hello all,
This is a bit of a long shot. I am a descendent of Elizabeth Beard (1765?-1851), daughter of William Beard (1737-1776) and Elizabeth Tozer (1735-1776). An auto-suggestion anomaly has arisen suggesting she was born in Calvados, Normandy and that her son, William Russell, might have been too. (I seriously doubt it!) However, there is a family legend, shared also by other descending families that there were links to France and revolutionaries around this time. Has anyone else come across this?
