My late Mother also had a brother called John that I think may have died in the war. My Mother died in 1985, she was born 1928. She was known as Milly to people, amelia her name, 2nd being Rose. She lived in London Bow for ages. Her family that I knew are all deceased now, Her mum married 2nd time, I think he died around 1968, which is same year I was born, I am only child from my parents. My Mum married my Dad in 1958 and took the name of Avard. In the UK London. Hope this helps anyone out there, I may not be able to reply back though, due to if I am charged to do so, so if you dont near back from me then you know why.

Avard

Ladywriter1968 — 2011-10-21 18:07:34Z

My Dads name is AVARD, he had 12 brothers and sisters, he is the youngest, and he is 81 years old now. He was born 1930. My grand dad was born 1880, Matthew Avard, known as Pop to the family. The other siblings of my Father is Denis, only two living my Father Ralph and Denis, the rest deceased, I didnt know them all but to try to remember their names was, violet, charlie, frank, connie, joyce, known as mickey I think, I dont think I can reply to threads on here, not sure, if have to pay, so if I cant reply back then you know why. My Dad married my Mum in 1958. My Dad was born between Essex/London UK. Grand dad also in UK, I think he may have been Irish origin but not sure. Pop along with my Mother buried in Barking cemetary Essex. Pop married twice, 2nd lady was called Jessie, Pop died in 1960 and I think Jessie in 1975. They lived in East London in a big house I believe. or may have been between Barking Essex/East London around those areas. I never knew my grand parents personally. As I was not born until 1968, I am an only child of my parents. Hope this information may help some one. My Mum was called Milly who died in 1985. Mothers maiden name was Hopgood. Connie and Joyce moved to USA years ago, New York, but both deceased now.

My Grandfather was called Harry Selby Avard. He fathered 2 children Lilian Rose born 1915 (my mother) & George William born 1916, both in Southampton, Hampshire. He had a step daughter Mary Georgina M Ellis. I have been to Southampton to try and locate any information but apart from his name and wife's? name Elizabeth Mary (Lee) appearing on my mother's birth certificate I can't find any information at all. He was a sea fireman and died during the first world war. If anyone thinks they know of him please cntact me as now my mother is dead I would like to know where I came from

Are you by any chance "Boy Peter"? I'm just starting the Avard side of my Family Tree. My mother's name was Joan; I had an Uncle Frank. My grandparents lived in Tooting. Christmases were quite a large family affair. If you are the Peter in question it would be good to hear from you.

Walter Charles my father was also a publican in Rusthall.

Avards, Avard

2006-03-24 08:08:02Z

Looking for anyone who is researching ancestry in the mainly Kent and probably Sussex area. I am descended from John James Wallis Avards born abt 1828 and Thomas Avards born 1795 and another Thomas and John born at Egerton back to 1750 I think!
Common ancestors I believe lived at the Village Mill House in Lamberhurst. My grandfather Daniel John Avards was a master baker so I am sure thre is a connection. My great grandfather also worked as a head gardener at Mabledon House for Deacon's the bankers I believe.

Any information from other researchers would be useful and from present descendants.

I was reading through some of the other posted messages, and for Jordon, there are quite a few of us scattered around the world, my knowledge on the history is limited, but i am aware of some points. The avards came from france, Normandy to be precise, they were persecuted under a french monarch that i can't remember the name of, and then fled to Ireland. In Ireland the name Avard was hiphenated to A'Vard. From Ireland, the Avards moved on, to Australia, Canada and the US. I hope that this helps a little bit. Any other questions shoot me an email.
