Hi all,
As my username mentions, I am a Beard descent and believe it or not through Thomas Beard as well! Multiple great grandfather's (6 or 7 maybe?)
My wife and I started the family tree back in October and we came to visit the village shortly after. It was incredible to read the transcripts in Jackfield Church and learn so much.
I can't recall at what point but through our family line they had moved to Wiltshire/Oxfordshire to work on the railway, it was then in the early 20th century that my great great grandfather Edwin Ernest moved upto Birmingham, had 12 children in total and we have lived around the city ever since.
Ant questions or if people have any pictures/details to share please get in touch.
Thanks,
Nathan
