Hi
William Henry Beard was my GGG Grandfather. He married Eliza Caves whilst he was stationed in Ireland with the 46th Reg. of Foot. Their son, William John (my GG Grandfather), was born in Templemore Barracks and the family eventually settled in Suckley where William Henry and Eliza are buried. William John moved to Birmingham where he married Mary Langford at The Old Chapel in Smethwick.
My G Grandfather Arthur Thomas (aka Thomas Arthur) was their 2nd son, the eldest being William who married Alice Hadley. Arthur Thomas was killed in action in WW1 and is named on the Bearwood War memorial. Arthur Thomas had 2 daughters, the eldest Ivy May was my Nan.
Hope this is useful to someone.
