I am having difficulty trying to find a Henry WIlliam Beard who was my great great grandfather. My great Grandfather Stanley William Beard was born in 1913 so I am guessing he would have been born aroung 1890. I know they lived in Stepney and on my great grandfathers wedding cert it mentions that his dad was a stone cutter. Would be very greatful if someone could help track him down!! Many thanks, Ray

Hi Ray - It is interesting that your rellie was a stone-cutter. My Beard family were in the stone-mason business and came from Staffordshire. Could yours have originated from there too?

If you get Stanley's birth cert it will give his mother's name which will help you pinpoint Henry's marriage. The marriage cert will give their ages which will help with the search. Liz

Hmmm... God I haven't got a clue. I think I may have to order a cert for Stanley and take it from there.

Hi Jim, I originally had him down as William Henry Beard however Stanley's marriage cert has him down as Henry William. Thanks for your help though. Ray
