Hello

I am the granddaughter of (Maurice) Frederick Beard and Gillian Sapsford. Their eldest sons daughter. We do live in Scotland now. Moved to Scotland in 2000 from the Midlands.

Holly

Thank you

Edited re eldest son.

Too much personal info about the eldest son

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.

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

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.

Three members other than you have him in their GR trees. Send contact messages

Trying to trace his sons my cousins.

He was on the electoral rolls to 2012 but on his own

They appears to have had three children , details on freebmd

What information are you after Terence?

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

Surname First name(s) Mother District Vol Page
Births Jun 1932 (>99%)
