Beard Edward 06-Feb-1864 At Brooklyn, U.S., on the 18th ultimo, Edward Beard, a native of county Antrim, in the 27th year of his age. Still need to know if the spelling Baird is of interest as well. Cara ******************************

Cara, First, what is that information about Edward Beard, death? If so, 1864 puts it too late. All of James Beard's children and remaining descendants are Bards, as far as I know, even though some of his children were born while he was still going by Beard. Second, I'm not looking at Bairds right now. Maybe I should, but I'd like to exhaust any James Beard leads first. When I searched the New York and Philadelphia city directories, I looked for Bard, Baird, Beard and Bayard. The James Beard I found fit. I already knew that he was a shoemaker, and his occupation was always listed as shoemaker in the directories. I also must admit that I know nothing about Irish genealogy. Everything I've done to date is in the U.S. So, I'm starting from scratch with my James Beard research, and I'd like to see what I can find without having to hire a researcher.
