Would be interested to hear if you come up with anything - I am researching Beards from Birmingham around that time.

The Beards I am researching also came from Evesham to Birmingham, but were in Birmingham by 1861.

The Beard family I am looking into are William Beard (born 1805 Worcestershire) and his wife Sarah and their many children. All of their children were born in the Evesham area before they moved to Birmingham.
