Interim Pastor To Speak On "Silent God* iday mormng hen G 'd 1" Bi swell, .... by Victor A. Ramsey, Gerald D. Bean & Neville West, British Evangelists. Hear these ...

Yes, the ship listings are right (although different DOB's).

I repeat - same home address, same occupation.

ArgillGran ?????? I agree I think I'll take a hard copy of all this . Have a acuppa and read it all to see if I can make some since of it . Have I got the ships listing right if so he did not stay in the USA for long and I AM going to have to contact him (both )

Oh Bother lol

Sheila :-D

From all the various bits of info above, it all fits.

DOB in Outgoing travel record is presumably the correct one.
He came back to UK later in 1955, married Elsie 1956, lives (or lived) in Wales.
Has possibly at least one child.

Rose says G&E are on the current electoral register.

There are only 2 Gerald D Beans born in the UK. The other one was in 1910 so those pictures must be of your Gerald.

To top it off, there's the whole churchy thing going on!

Rose

The only Facts I know are Gerald's brother Ashley now dead ,or the only two children of my Aunt & Uncle , this is getting weird , Now I will have to trace him " Curiosity Killed the cat" I know but I do know that he went to the USA as an Evangelist to " preach on the corner of the street in New York" that was what I was told be my mother . :-0 I was at the time as that was not the Gerald I knew

GR seems to be playing up - your last reply was already posted 10 mins ago!

I had Elsie as his wife, but if he left the uk in 1955 that can't be her . his date of berth change but all that side of the family are dead so no way to check .

Sheila

Yes, he left UK in 1955, but he came back later the same year - see Incoming Passenger List I posted earlier.

Different DOB from that given in Outgoing record, but same home address, and occupation.

Home address in same reg district as the marriage.

The man in the photos in the links Rose posted looks about the right age.

Sorry Rose no that is not them the names are the same
. He is now living in the USA

I had Elsie as his wife, but if he left the uk in 1955 that can't be her . his date of berth change but all that side of the family are dead so no way to check .

Sheila

One of the possible children was born in Pontypool - and there are phone book entries in 1984 and earlier for a Rev Gerald D Bean in Pontypool.

Does this look like him?

They are on the current electoral register.

Rose

Birth is registered in the 3rd quarter of 1932 so some of those entries don't match.

Rose

There's a possible marriage in 1956 in Staincross, Yorkshire - don't know if it's him or not, but Wombwell is in Staincross registration district..

I'll PM you the details, won't post them here as he or his wife may still be alive.

No obvious children of the marriage - at least not in Yorkshire.

Sorry ArgillGran to be a pest but in the records you found, did he ever marry ? Please

Maybe ???

In this article dated 2012:

" Mr Gerald Bean, a minister in the Assembly of God Church who has travelled all over the country entertaining audiences of thousands of enraptured kiddies."

That's him I was told that he want somewhere as I missionary but I did not believe it , Not the Gerald I knew . That proves me wrong .I'll away to read over breakfast
Thanks x

Perhaps another possibility, in 1992. Do you know if he emigrated to USA?:

Gerald D Bean
in the U.S. Public Records Index, Volume 1
Name: Gerald D Bean
Birth Date: 6 Mar 1932
Phone Number: 983-2464

EDIT:
No, I don't think this is him , in light of later info below.
