Yes Lu,
I agree.  He was only registering his patents in Australia. I don't think he ever actually lived in Australia.
There is a tree which details his family from marriage but nothing on his arrival noted

That tree is a good find Kris.
It reveals a further child "Gwendolen Beath BEAVEN - born 1893 at Christchurch NZ" but whose birth registration doesn't appear on the NZ index ... as far as I can see ? (Variants of BEAVEN searched) :

Caroline the following may interest you.
My husband & I are researching his maternal forebears, by the name of BEAVEN. His great grandfather Arthur Ward Beaven migrated to Christchurch, New Zealand, in 1878 and went into a very successful partnership with a William ANDREWS (who we think is also from Wiltshire). Arthur’s parents farmed 600-odd acres, from their farm house in Heystesbury, where Arthur and his brothers Edwin Sloper, and Thomas Christie, and his sister Lucy Jane Ripley, were also born. Their parent’s names were Thomas & Mary Christie (WARD). The family moved to a larger farm in Boreham in 1865, Thomas dying there in 1872. This farm was sold in 1878, and Arthur set sail a few months later.
In his later years Arthur described the farms, farming practices, and the village of Heytesbury. He claimed that their house was “probably the monastical residence of the monks attached to the very fine old collegiate church of the village: the latter dated back to Henry IV’s time. It was of three storeys, with very spacious rooms, wide staircases, and large open fireplaces.”
Can anyone verify the monastical connections. I gather the farm house has been supplanted by a roundabout.
I would also love to hear from anyone who knows anything about the BEAVEN’s, or the WARD’s, or CHRISTIE’s. There are certainly many Beaven families in Wiltshire – or at least there were in the 1800’s.

Thanks to Tim Reynolds we have tracked down the farm. The Old Schoolhouse.
I will pm you the email address of the author. Interesting to find there are descendants who are interested in their ancestry.
Cheers
