Please tell me if you think I am!!
My 2xG Grandmother's (Emma Beavan) birth certificate has no father's name, just her mother Anne Beavan. No father's name on the parish record either for her baptism.
(Anne had 7 children that had the surname Beavan and I can't find one with a father's name!!)
When Emma married she said her father's name was Edward Beavan, coincidentally the same name she gave her son born 9 months before she married. (I know she told fibs as she said she was "full age" when she was only just 18!)
In 1841 mother and daughter are together on the census living with a widow Mary Teague and her family. In 1851 Emma is still living with Mary Teague and is shown as her Granddaughter but still called Emma Beavan.
Checking the IGI I can't find any birth for an Ann Beavan in the right time frame and am slowly plowing through births for Ann Teague and all the variants kindly suggested by Rootschatters!!
How likely is it do you think that Anne Beavan was Mary Teague's daughter?
Cheers
tabitha ???

seems like you have a difficult one here, Annes name could have been Bevan still as Mary may have been married twice 1st to a Bevan then to a teague.
will go away and give it some more thought
in the meantime good luck ::) sandie

no I dont mind who knows after all has some compensation the government are actually going to give me something instead of other way round, looking forward to that :P
not that I am giving up work need the money to finance all these certificates ::)
best bit though is on the Sunday I am going to collect 2 gorgeous cats I lost mine about 3 months ago said I wouldnt have any more but miss having a cat, decided I would like a big tabby male this time and have found one at the cat resue and he has a lovely sister hubby thinks I am mad but it was him making a fuss of them ;D
so perhaps not too much beaujolypop.
sorry to waffle on your post tabitha, will get on with looking for your bevans now sandie

Don't apologise for waffling sandiep!! ....I'm just as bad! Good luck with your new cats...what are they to be called? (not G & T I hope!!) and Happy Birthday for next week! ;D

Hi sandie,
Have Puds & Rosy settleing in now?? ;D We've got two Esmeralda (she'a a geriatric now at 17 and just snoozes and bats the other Tabitha who's 6 months....Tabitha just chases our two labradors around all day!!
Just for your info Edward Beavan (emma's son) was listed in all census prior to 1891 as Edward Watkins!! This was the surname of the chap Emma married in 1858. She conveniently decided to call herself Emily from when she married and said she was from Blaenavon!! All lies (what a surprise!!) After endless searches I found her born in Radnorshire, hence the search now for Ann & her husbands, family etc.!
Thanks for taking the time to try to help me on this one :)
