WILLIAMS and BEARD surname (General)

I am trying to research my grandfather (William Williams) and his father (Frederick Williams).

I have encountered two problems. The first is that, according to the 1901 Census, William was born about 1872 at Forest of Dean Drybrook but there is no entry in the parish records.

The second problem is that, according to the marriage certificate of William (Gloucester 1897), his fathers name and surname are Frederick Beard Williams. This may support the information from family members that a change of surname happened. My research on this branch of my family has reached a dead end.

Does anyone know anything about them or is this too vague?
