Trace information in what context pleese

You can find his birth on freebmd and then look to see if he had siblings and for his parents marriage

What information are you after Terence?

Using the free site - https://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

the marriage shows him not as Frederick but as Maurice F

Surname First name(s) Spouse District Vol Page
Marriages Mar 1954 (>99%)
Beard Maurice F Sapsford Dunmow 4a 1313
Sapsford Gillian B Beard Dunmow 4a 1313

which leads to this birth registered in 1932 not 1931 - Dunmow RD covers High Easter

Surname First name(s) Mother District Vol Page
Births Jun 1932 (>99%)
Beard Maurice F Beaney Dunmow 4a 1473

and possibly this death showing in the Stoke on Trent RD (found on FMP !)

ArgyllGran Report 5 Aug 2018 13:59

Three sons, all born Stoke, 1956-62

The eldest (or at least someone with the same first name, spelled the same way, and the same middle initial), was on Stoke ER in 2002, then married in Scotland 2006, and is in Scotland in 2015 ER.

If you buy credits on 192.com, you can see the full address.
He might still be there, but opted out of public ER.

He isn't in the BT phonebook - at least not in the place he was in 2015. May be ex-directory, or just not have a landline.

ArgyllGran Report 5 Aug 2018 14:27

The second son may have married in Staffordshire in 2005, and if so, was on Burton-on-Trent ER in 2015 - per 192.com

ArgyllGran

ArgyllGran Report 5 Aug 2018 15:18

The third son MAY have married in Shropshire 1982.

IF that's the right man, he's on the current ER for a town in Ross-shire, per 192.com.
Not in BT phonebook.

NOTE:
I only picked this man because of the Scottish connection - with brother marrying and living in Scotland, even though a totally different area.

But there are other men of the same name.
