Jan,
My grandfathers name was Herbert Beanlands,
he married Mary, and had four children, Elvia,Kenneth,Jean and Colin who was my father.The family came from Morton and the Bingley area.My father was born in 1924 and it seems likely that the Herbert you mention born in 1890 would be my grandfather Herbert.
Years ago in the 70's we were contacted by the Beanland (note the 's' is missing)family who had traced their history back to Morton, it seems somewhere along the line the 's' was dropped by that branch and I seem to remember an indiscrepency in the family otherwise we would have all been Collinson's.I think they had traced us all back to Holland... not sure.
I have now returned to Australia where I was born but have visited Morton in England and it is so small a village the Beanlands and Beanland family's must be related.
Interested to see what you have as I don't know my history past my own grandparents.
Thanks Coleen
