Hello
I recently purchased 2 family bibles relating to the Bevan family (of Oxwich castle), Wales.
Inside was a list of some family member's births etc.
If you would like any details please let me know
-
I would be interested with the information from this bible. I have Bevan's from Swansea town and reportably from the Gower.
You can instant message me if you would prefer.
Regards Jen ;D

Hi Welsh Jen
I only joined yesterday and am getting really puzzled by all the boards, sending messages etc. So sorry for the delay in responding.
I purchased the Photograph albums from my local antique dealer, for the use in a small after-school genealogy club which I ran.
The photos are beautiful, some going back to circa 1830's. A treasure for the ancestor's of these people.
The piece of paper with the notes reads as follows;-
James BEVAN born 04/01/1817
Mary his wife born 05/02/1821. Married December 13th 1844
children
Mary BEVAN 30/10/1845
John 18/04/1847
(Samuel) 02/01/1849
James 28/10/1850
Rowland 25/02/1853
John 18/05/1855
Sil 23/04/1857
Elizabeth 10/11/1859
Ann 24/12/1863
There are also years next to these birth dates, but I am unsure as to if they relate to death's marriage's etc..
One of the first photo's in the album shows a beautiful picture of "Francis and Mary BEVAN (Grandma and Grandpa, Oxwich Castle in Gower, died 19(15 or 16).
Some of the related familie's shown in the photo's are Brockie?, Heath, Trevony?, Clement.
Ps loads of other names appear next to the photo's, which include Wedding's, Military and School.

Not to worry about the delay ;D & welcome to Rootschat!
Thanks for the additional information I shall have a look at the names I have. No doubt others will be in touch with you regarding this bible. I have transcribed many monumental inscriptions for the name Bevan in the Gower region, the name is known in the area and many are researching the Gower Bevan's (as well as The Gower Beynon's!)
Kindest Regards Jen :)

Hi - I was very excited to read about the Bevan family photograph album as this has links to the family I am researching. I am researching Silvanus and Anne Bevan from Bay View House, Overton, Porteynon. This couple were cousins and both trace back to Francis Bevan and Anne Beynon at Oxwich Castle. Silvanus is descended from Silvanus and Elizabeth Gibbs then back to Francis and Anne, Anne gets another generation in via George and Jane George, Francis and ? and then Francis and Anne Beynon.
"Francis and Mary BEVAN (Grandma and Grandpa, Oxwich Castle in Gower, died 19(15 or 16). are my Anne's brother and sister-in-law. Anne died in the 1920s.
I have loads of information on this extended family which I would be happy to share. Would there be a possibility of scanning these photos?
Look forward to hearing from you. Frances Bevan.

Hello
I am following the Bird family from Cardiff and Cowbridge. The tree has 4 Bevans in it
Llewellyn Bevan father of Margaret b 1768 and William b 1773, as well as William Bevan b 1830 married to Margaret Bird b 1834.
Would be very interested if they are mentioned
best regards

Hi Bill,
Regrettably I was never able to get hold of the bible in question, so I can't answer your question. The names you mention do not crop up in the letters I have. Sorry I am unable to help.
-
Hi Guy's
Just to let you know I still have the Bevan Albums. I did send photocopies to the museum but never received a reply. I totally forgot about it untill reading these messages.
I have just sent my hubby down to the office to get the Albums. Give me an hour and hopefully I can help further.

Hi Gem. I didn't get in touch again - it began to feel as if I was stalking you! I am still extremely interested in the photos - you did once mention perhaps scanning them for me. I am in the process of getting printing quotes to self publish a small selection of the 200 family letters and would love to be able to illustrate them with photographs of the actual family.
Best wishes, Frances.

I would welcome any info on the children of Francis and Anne Beynon - I think my g/g /grandfather may have been a Morgan Bevan b 1792. - Please be patient with me this is very new to me
-
I'm particularly interested in the Bevan bible
-
My 5th Great Great Grandparents, Francis Bevan and Anne Beynon, had children born at Oxwich castle, so any information that you can offer would be very much appreciated.
The children was born between 1778 and 1800.
-
My Great Great Grandfather is Rowland Bevan that is mentioned in the bible in the above comments. Could you please email me any images you can of the bible and pictures? Thank you!

Hello,
I came across your old post through a Google search. I am really interested in these photographs since I am researching my Bevan line. My grandmother was Flora Eileen Bevan (1913-1947) and my great grandfather was Silvanus Bevan (1871-1918). Then when I looked at your profile, I saw that you have a D'Aguilar connection. My 3x great grandmother was Marie Antoinette Kerr D'Aguilar Stuart (1810-1842) married to John Stuart (Jamaica). Hananel Lopes Pereira D'Aguilar (1755-1803) was my 5x great grandfather.
Hananel later changed his name to William Kerr D'Aguilar (1785-1824) was my 4x great grandfather. I am working on a family tree and have gaps. I'd love to compare notes if you are interested.
I am in contact with some other D'Aguilar descendants and we are trying to piece this very large and long family history together!
Thank you and take care,
Deborah-Eve Lombard

Hello Deborah,
Welcome to RootsChat.
I am very sorry but the member foxjohnson has not been replying to any of their topics. I did check on their details after Jason's reply and could see that they were being notified of replies at the time. I have been intouch again to see if I can sort out any problems but now I see there is possibly a problem with their email address currently ??? ??? They were logged in only last week, hopefully after reading my pm they may get back in touch.
Regards
Sarah

Thanks Sarah--I'm going to stay hopeful since I also saw that they logged in recently. And because I can't believe I found them and their research!
Take care,
