Ha!

Found them 

Transcribed as Bran, probably due to the damage to the records, but the names & occupation & ages fit.

Salford, Greengate district HO 107/2223
26 Great George Street

Solomon Bran; head; M; 40; Police Constable; Manchester
Hannah Bran; wife; M; 37; Manchester
Joseph Bran; son; 15; Manchester
Charles Bran; son; 12; Manchester
Amelia Jane Bran; dau; 10; Manchester
John Bran; son; 7; Manchester
George Bran; son; 2; Manchester

There are some other entries below George but so much is missing, it is impossible to say if they are connected to the Beard family or not.

However, further down at 28 Great George Street, there is:

William Br....; head; M; 43; Police Constable; Lancashire, .....
Ellen Br...; wife; M; 33; Cheshire, Timperley
George Br....; son; 20; Manchester
& other children Elizabeth, Sarah Ann, William, Jane Ann, Emma etc

Given the address & the occupation I wondered if they could be relatives?

Regards
SandraC

Joseph Bran; son; 15; Manchester
Charles Bran; son; 12; Manchester
Amelia Jane Bran; dau; 10; Manchester

George Bran; son; 2; Manchester


This matches what I have from the 1861

Hannah Beard 1817
Joseph 1836
Charles . F 1838
Amelia jane 1841
George Beard 1848

Although there is no John 

Also on the 1841 census there is Solomon as a Thatchman and he became a policeman in the 1840's. Also there is an Elizabeth Beard b1840 and isn't on the 1861 census, so she had also died by 1851 or 

Yes Joseph the son was a policeman in the 1860's

There is a police museum in Manchester with very helpful staff, but their records start quite late (1858, I think).

This is the email address police.museum[at]gmp.police.uk.  I have replaced the ampersand with [at]

thank you, I shall email them about their records

Hello Karen, Guess we'll see if you're still pursuing this. My name is Barry Beard, and I have just learned (I believe) that Soloman Beard is my great-great-great-grandfather.  I am the son of Kenneth Beard, who is the son of Warren Beard, who is the son of William Beard, who is the son Charles Beard,  who is the son of Soloman.  I do have a copy of a UK newspaper article (brief, but detailed, though it doesn't name family members) describing the death of Soloman, on duty, in 1859.  If you receive this notice perhaps we can discuss this more?  Best regards, Barry

Hi Barry

A warm welcome to Rootschat!

Karens925 hasn't been on the site for a few years but hopefully, she will receive a message to say that there is a reply to her post if her email address is still the same.

Heather

[Barry Beard]

Thank you for letting me know that Heather.  Are you involved with the same family as Karen?  Best regards,  Barry

Hi Barry,

Received your friends message on another site and looking forward to comparing information. I also believe I have a photo of Charles Frederick and his son which I can send you.
