I am searching for information about the BEARD and PERRIN families who lived in the Romford/Hornchurch and South Ockendon areas from the late 1700's.

I am specifically looking for family of William Perrin, 1830 to 1889, born on Grove Farm in South Ockendon, and James Edward Beard, 1866 to 1944, born in Figs Marsh, Rainham.

While you may not have any info on the families, do you have any info on Grove Farm which I believe may have been sold for an airfield in the early 1920-30s? Or any information on Figs Marsh, including parishes in those areas.

Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
