Trying to find Sheard

I am trying to find relatives or ancestors of John James Sheard, who married Cis (Milly) Scrimshire in Birmingham around the turn of the 20th century. Family legend has it that he came from a well-off family in Yorkshire, one of whom was knighted, and was part of the delegation which introduced the Royal Mint to Japan. John was apparently a family name.
