Need some info on my boyfriends dads side!

His Dad is David Beard 1942 born in Southampton..

His Grandad
Stanley D Beard 1918
mothers maiden name Lowe

Married in 1941 in Romsey

Millicent Maud Bastable 1915
mothers maiden name prince

I Cant seem to find a Marrige between a Beard and Lowe to know who stanley's dad was..
Can i find some of this out using the census??

Can someone help me?
thank you
karla

If you get the marriage cert for Stanley and Millicent it should give you his dads name. if known

Name: Stanley D Beard
Spouse Surname: Bastalbe
Date of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec 1941
Registration district: Southampton
Inferred County: Hampshire
Volume Number: 2c
Page Number: 63
Find Spouse: Millicent M Bastable

As the marriage was towards the end of WW1, it may be that the lady had been married before

The birth cert will provide the answers.........the census will not. The last one available is 1911

Dont forget this was War time so Stanley may not have been born in Hampshire but was stationed there

Name: Stanley D Beard
Mother's Maiden Surname: Lowe (transcription error have corrected )
Date of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec 1918
Registration district: N Forest
Inferred County: Sussex
Volume Number: 2b
Page Number: 1036


better still get his birth cert for his parents names

You didn't give Stanley's birthplace info

Births Dec 1918 (98%)
Beard Stanley D Lowe N.Forest 2b 1036

Stanley had a younger brother.......info on freebmd

Yeah i thought this was a tricky time thing during the war!.. Im not sure i can hold of the marriage cert thou??
thank you for replying

Just a thought..................

Marriages Sep 1917 (>99%)
Beard Arthur Smitten N Forest 2b 1607
Smitten Emma L Beard N.Forest 2b 1607

No birth for Emma Smitten on freebmd

Could the L in her name be LOWE?

The BIRTH cert is your best bet.......order it on line from the GRO It will cost £9.25 including postage

Reggie i think your right on Emma and Arthur?!?! Im sure i remember them being mentioned..
Is it Emma Louise??
Did you find that info on here or elsewhere

All the BMD info is from freebmd

thank you

Because its mothers maiden name not her previous married name that is recorded on the birth cert

A woman's maiden name is the name she was BORN with - that doesn't change, no matter how many times she marries

Reggie...agreed.
Harry's military notes are on Ancestry.
