I have Elizabeth Beard who married Alexander Thomas in 1792. They married in Kingswwod , but I'm pretty sure she is from Leonard Stanley as that is where they lived all their lives. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jan Daly" To: Sent: Monday, March 12, 2007 5:04 AM Subject: [GLS] The Wall family in Northern NSW > Hi Listers > > > > I have just arrived home from work and downloaded about 25 messages from > the > list - it is certainly very active. > > > > I notice that there have been a couple of mentions of the Wall family. > Like > Ann's friend I am a descendant of Matthew Everingham and Elizabeth Rymes > and > I have a copy of "Cornstalks" - a magnificent tome by Valerie Ross that > sets > out all of his descendants up to 1988.

Hello all I am looking for the marriage of William WALKLEY, born 1809 in Tortworth. He was a gardener. He married Maria, born 1816 in Painswick. They had their first child, James in 1833 and lived in Painswick for the '41, '51 and '61 census. I cannot find either of them after 1861. Thanks for any help with this couple! Mary Lou

Hi Joan and Judith and the rest of you. So far my research indicates that my Beards came from Thornbury and surrounding area. John Beard (born about 1797) was sentenced to seven years transportation to New South Wales in 1837. His death certificate gives his father's name as Brice Beard, however, I think that the name given for his mother is an error (it is his second wife's name, Harriett Courner). His indent papers state that he was married and a Quaker on his arrival. I have been told that there is a record in the GFHS marriage index of a marriage between John Beard and Ann Lury in the Quaker church at Olveston in 1825. I think that the convict (my great great grandfather) was probably the son of Brice Beard and Sarah Lovelace who married in Thornbury in 1791. They had eleven children. John Beard and Harriett Courner named their only son Samuel John Brice Beard. The name Brice (or Bryce) was also given to the next generation. John Beard died in Bathurst in 1863 and his gravestone and death certificate records his name as John Ulton Beard. Perhaps the name Ulton gives a clue to his origins. One of the grandsons was John Ulton Brice Beard. Any information that you can give would be gratefully received.
