Further to my recent post regarding the marriage of Henry Beard to Ann Shearman Nichols b abt 1813 I have now received the marriage certificate which shows they were both residing Redcliffe Street. Henry was shown as 50 on 1841 census so could be born between 1786 and 1791 on the 1851 census he is shown as 57 (b 1794)but he could have lost a few years when he married Ann Henry's father is shown as James Beard a gunsmith and Ann's father is shown as Edward Nichols a Butcher. An Edward Nichols is shown in Mathews directory of 1799 as a butcher in Radcliffe Street. Can anyone help me find any information on any of these people. Tony
