Architect, of Dublin. William Henry Beardwood was born circa 1842, the eldest son of WILLIAM HAUGHTON BEARDWOOD (d.1860) and brother of JOHN FRANCIS BEARDWOOD. By 1875 he was in practice as an architect and developer in Manchester. After the failure of his business in Manchester, he returned to Dublin in 1880, setting up in practice at 192 Great Brunswick Street. In March 1899 he stood as a candidate for Trinity Ward in the election of city councillors to replace the Poor Law Guardians.

Beardwood died in November 1930, survived by his second wife, Florence, whom he had married in 1903, and their two adopted children. His obituarist in the Irish Builder recalled that although he had 'of late lived very quietly and out of touch with his professional brethren' on account of his advanced age, he had been 'very popular and very well known, professionally and socially in former years, when he enjoyed an extensive practice, mainly commercial work'; he was 'much liked by all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance, for his genial and kindly disposition, and in former days his fine bass voice was much in request at public dinners and other social entertainments, especially at the annual dinners of the Institute of Architects; his singing of "In Cellar Cool" or "A Friar in Orders Grey" always drew and enthusiastic encore'. His pupils included JOHN EDWARD BURKE.
The Irish Architectural Archive holds a letterbook kept by William Henry Beardwood from 1875 to 1884 (Acc. 94/170).
