Beard Families

[seyshell]

Any info for a Miss Beard that married a Brown in Bristol then immigrated to Canada, and returned home after death of a daughter.
If you have any information, I would be very grateful

Michelle

Willow - Cookley isn't far from me in Kidderminster and I know at least 2 Beard family's there - one running an electrical company in Stourport.  Not sure if it's relevant but don't give up on the living Beard's!

Thanx for that I will have to do some checking!

Hi Alf- I think that I spoke to you a while ago, concerning brothers Moses Beard born 1828 (Tetbury) & Cornelius Beard born 1830 (Tetbury) both sons of Stephen & Rebecca nee Sharpe . They came to Western Australia per the vessel "City of Bristol"in 1856 and settled in the Northam District. I have been busy with my sister who has now passed away and I wonder if you have any  info on their line. Stephen son of William & Alice nee WITTS, William son of William & Mary nee Dicks, William son of John & Mary nee Blizzard, John son of Samuel & Not Stated, Samuel son of Daniel & Mary nee Not Stated, Daniel son of Daniel & Mary nee Lawrence. - Romany Roser

Hi,

Hope you have received my pm, Alf.

Now do some more research on the Beard family and on familysearch have come across this baptism which differs from the one I have.

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/J3SN-JG7

I have William Beard being baptised on the 13 Augest, sibling Jane I have as born in 1783 so cannot see another child called William being born. 

Unfortunately cannot recall where I obtained the first baptism.

Can anyone put any light on the 2 baptisms.

Hi thank you for your reply

Accordily William Beard was born 13 April 1762 at  Tetbury , Gloucestershire, England. He died in England, not sure about his  sister Jane. He had a son name Stephen Beard?  Maybe Stephen,s brother or son name was Moses Ion Beard, born in  1826 died in Northam , Western Australia on the  4.4 1891. He immigrated in Australia with his wife Mary Beard née Mann.  They had 5  children, John, Ernest, Cornelius, Jane and Sarah.
Ernest Stephen Beard born 1856 died 1921 in Northam, Western Australia. He married to Ruth Blake , and they had children. They had a son also name was Ernest Stephen Beard. He married to Victoria Blake. They both buried in Northam, Western Australia. They had children. Their daughter name was  Pansy Ida Harman née Beard. Pansy was my grand mother. She was born on 20 th February 1916 died on 25 th January 1981 buried in Northam
 I am from Western Australia.
Not sure this the correct William Beard?
 Thanks

Think we are talking about 2 different William Beards.  My William's parents were Giles and Sarah Beard, William's spouse was Margaret Prout,

Thanks for replying

Both of these men had large families here and I was hoping to fill in the gaps in England- Roser
