George BEARD from England to Australia COMPLETED

[Joyful]

I am trying to find the emigration, date, ship etc for George Beard.

The following is all I know about my 2 x G/Grandfather.
He married Catherine Ashman nee Pamplin in Bundarra NSW on 1 Feb 1859. Have MC. Have all Catherine's info.
He died 18 Aug 1876 Wandsworth NSW. It says born in England in Aust 20 yrs but was reg. not by family. Gives age as 47 yrs. Father's name is given as George Beard mother UK
From his daughter Elizabeth's birth certificate 26 Apr 1866 George states that he is 35 yrs and born in Gloucestershire and 30yrs at marriage.
He was a master blacksmith.

The only george Beard that I can find is 19 yrs old and arrived in Sydney/Newcastle in 1855 on the Constitution.

I wonder if someone else with fresh eyes can find another George Beard for me.

May  I  ask  if  you  have ruled  this arrival out as your George.

Don't forget  a lot of ages  were "guesstimates"  and often  people filling out death information  may  have  only  had a rough idea on  time frames

kind  thoughts Jenn

Thanks Jen for your reply

I haven't ruled the 19 yr old G Beard out but thought I would see if there was another one that I've missed

G B himself was the informant on his daughter's BC in 1866 & stated he was 35yrs & wife Catherine was 41yrs.

Checking Assisted Immigrants to NSW it seems that the George Beard age 19 who arrived on the Constitution came from Greatcotham?, Essex.  I think this should read Great Totham because I have found him in the 1851 census with father John at Great Totham.  His occupation is Ag Lab.

Maybe you can rule out this one as your George Beard

Thank you so much cazay for finding that out

I had a gut feeling that he wasn't the right GB.

You can't see another GB can you??

Hello  Joy

as you  have his marriage  certifcate  does it give you  where in Gloucestershire he was from, or his mothers names?  I  know  some  of  the early  ones  didn't though.

If we can  find him on a census  or more we can  get a more accurate time fram to search for his arrival

Hi Jen Absolutely no helpful information on the MC

George himself registered his daughter Elizabeth in 1866

and just stated that he was from Gloucestershire.

I'm running out of ideas for finding his DOB and POB & mother's m/s and christian name.

Thanks for your interest Jen
