Beard and Scrivens Worcestershire

[nelle]

I have an Ann Beard married to a Richard Cooper in 1813 in Birmingham.  Ann was from Wolverhampton.  From over here in OZ I am not sure if this is close to your area?

I have no other info about the Beard family, but quite a bit about the Coopers

Hiya all

Just to let you know I have now pushed my Beard family back a couple of generations

Ann Beard b 1832 Cookley father John Beard b 1799 Monmouth father John b c1774 died 1823 Redbrook Gloucs - unfortunately now stuck again

If you end up researching Gloucestershire dont forget the brilliant Forest of Dean site where they are transcribing all the parish records http://www.forest-of-dean.net/ - you have to register but it is free and they also cover some parts of Herefordshire

If you are researching Wolverhampton try the Wolverhampton Archive site http://www.wolverhamptonhistory.org.uk/resources/familyhistory

Or FreeREG http://freereg.rootsweb.com/cgi/Search.pl which has a lot of Wolverhampton records on it

I finally found the answer to my  family mystery.

GtGtGt Grandad Joseph Watkins was transported to Australia in 1852 for stealing sheep.

I seem to have come to a bit of a full stop with my Scrivens lot. I really need to go to Gloucestershire RO to get any further. I have 2 separate Scrivens lines (yes, I have a male Scrivens marrying a female Scrivens in my tree, they may have been cousins but no link as yet) but neither line seems to tie into anyone else's tree!!

Hi jaybeebuzz...

Do your Scriven lines ever mingle with mine?......mainly in Alveley, Bewley,Kidderminster and also Stourbridge around 1911?

[Jaybeebuzz]

Not that I know of Scriv2. I've not checked the 1911 census for my Scrivens lot yet but up to 1901, at any rate, they stayed put in Gloucestershire. The only one who moved to Worcestershire was my gt grandmother Elizabeth Mary Scrivens, b. 1850 Eastington, Gls, daughter of Richard & Elizabeth Scrivens (nee Scrivens!). She and her husband, Richard Pinchin,  moved to Croome D'Abitot, WOR  sometime between 1881 and 1891 and later settled in Eckington.
