Edward of Foulness

The family starts out in Canewdon, and moves to Bradwell, Steeple and St Lawrence over the course of a century. Quite possible that all male lines died out just after turn of the century; if the did persevere it was in Kent, not Essex.

Note that although progenitor Edward seems to have originated in Foulness and Beards lived there in numbers around his probable date of birth, there is no record of a relevant baptism.
