Gloucestershire / Re: Beard Families
« on: Wednesday 28 July 21 19:55 BST (UK) »Hello all,
New to RootsChat and read about Constable SAMUEL BEARD (born 1824 in Arlingham), whose memorial is in Little Dean churchyard. He is my wife's gggfather and we have seen and photographed the grave. I have all the details of his death from newspaper reports. Samuel married JANE MORTON in Cheltenham on 7 Dec 1844. His father's name was THOMAS, but I have no more details. Does this tie into any existing Beard tree, please?
Regards,
Peter
Samuel Beard was also my great great grandfather. I would love to know your wife’s family history. Emily Beard (his daughter) was my great grandmother. I actually have Samuel and Jane’s original marriage certificate though I have had it restored as it was very delicate. I can’t seem to get any further back on either Samuel or Jane’s ancestors.
