Is Thomas Beard the son of this Joseph Beard?
http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/tr ... =188194050

Something isn't right.
Polly was a nickname for Mary Ann in Victorian England but the ages on 1891 census for Thomas Beard don't add up.
Was he Mary Ann Yates son but not Joseph's?
Both she and Thomas were born West Bromwich and Joseph and Mary didn't marry till 1889.

Yes i have that.
I seem to thnk that Thomas may not have been Joseph's son
In 1911 when he married his age was given as 27.
Polly would that have been Mary Ann Yates?
1881 census she's living with father George in Ginn street West Bromwich.

Still not 100 percent sure it's the Thomas Beard born 1887 but it's most probably Joseph Beard married to Mary Ann Yates who he's connected to.I'm going to have to look up the birth.
Thanks for the help. xx

Ok this is a strange one

the above is the family in 1911 that checks with the address on the marriage for Thomas

but it is odd his dob is out of synch with marriage in 1888 and other kids

and
the birth in 1887 for a Thomas Beard
1887
Surname Forename(s) Sub-District Registers At Reference
BEARD Thomas Oldbury Sandwell Register Office OLD/76/327

does not have father Joseph and mother Mary Ann Yates

but....we know his father is Joseph as he says that on marriage

:?

Rob you could do with adding the details from the census onto Joseph Beard b 1865
save wasting info

not sure what else we can do on this
we can only go via info we have documented
and without a birth certif we are stuck with evidence we have

so unless anyone has any further info or can add anymore we can archive or move to brickwalls
your call rob
