Samuel Bowyer Geard Event Type: Death Registration Quarter: Apr-May-Jun Registration Year: 1877 Registration District: Hitchin County: Hertfordshire Event Place: Hitchin, Hertfordshire, England Age (available after 1866): 71 Birth Year (Estimated): 1806

"October the 27th, my son Samuel‟s wife was safely delivered of a son. Thus I became for the first time, a grandfather, a character which, however honourable, should remind me that the shades of the evening are coming upon me. This child began a new generation, and it is remarkable, that this has been the case now, for three generations, as to me and my descendants, in succession. I was the first grandchild in my grandfather Geard‟s and my grandfather Taylor‟s families. My son Samuel was the first grandchild, in my family and my dear wife‟s. And this child was the first grandchild in my family, and Samuel‟s wife‟s. The birth of this child also constituted Mr. Bradly great-grandfather. To unite the names of father and mother, this child had the name given him of Samuel Bowyer Geard." ^[1]
