Beard (Oldbury)

[alf]

Any person researching the BEARD family who lived at Oldbury.

The only information I have to date is:- Enoch Beard, c about 1893, married Elizabeth Jackson in 1914. Enoch was one of the fallen in the Great War. His parents were John & Phoebe, and his brothers John, Joseph & William  Any help with this family and ancestors would be appreciated

My Mother's cousin was a Beard who was an alderman and mayor of Oldbury in the 1930s. Does he fit into the picture. My Beards came to Aston Birmingham from Shropshire.

I have a picture of Alderman BEard and Wife in civic regalia but it has disappeared under our 'deep litter' system of filing we opeate here 

Will check out the Daniels book of Oldbury.

Another interesting branch of the Beards is Bill and Ivor Beard who both got awarded the MBE for war services. Bill [ born 1906] son of William was in the Birmingham Fire Service.
