Hi

Isabella's marriage certificate gives her age ag 24 and she married in December 1884 so her birth might be 1860. The birth certificate I ordered for March quarter of 1859 is for an Isabella whose parents are George Bevan and Eliza Beven formerly Jones. So this is not the one. Her marriage certificate states her fathers name was John Bevan.

The infomation in the 1861 cenus seems to be my Isabella although Unis should read Eunice and Allis should read Alice.

If this is the correct family I know that James, brother of John junior went to the USA.

The hunt goes on.

Thanks to all who are trying to help me.

Thanks

I know that Isabella married William Norman on 24th December 1884 (I have the certificate).

I also know that Isabella's parents were probably John BEVAN/BEAVAN and Elizabeth (Eliza) GOUGH.

I can't find her birth either. She was born in 1859 but the only birth I can find gives an Isabella with parents
listed as George Bevan and Eliza Bevan formerly Jones which is incorrect as Isabella gives her fathers name as
John on her marriage certificate to William Norman.

If I can solve this puzzle I will be able to trace the family back as I belive John was the brother of James Bevan
who went to America.

Help!!!

I don't think it is this one. I have the birth certificate and it states  William Beavan - father and Harriet Beavan formerly Ireland - mother. DOB 15th November 1879.
We think William was born out of wedlock.

Susan

Hi
William was my grandfather. His WW1 records state he was born in Hereford about 1879 (exact date not given). My mother remembers his birthday as 5th October. She also says that he was brought up with someone he believed to be his aunt but turned out to be his mother. She knows that Williams's mother (christian name not known) married a Mr Norman and that they lived in the Dudley area.  I found them on the 1891 census with William, but he is listed as a visitor, aged 11. I then found a marriage for Isabella Bevan to William NORMAN in 1884 (cert held).William BEVAN went on to marry Mary Hannah MORTON in 1907. I have also found information and a tree on familysearch.org

This is a difficult jigsaw to put together as my mother's older brothers and sisters have now all passed away.

Any help, advice or information would be much appreciated.

Regards
Susan

Help!  ???

I am trying to find a link between William BEVAN b.15 October 1879, Hereford and Isabella BEVAN b. 1859 Orcop/Garway Hill Herefordshire, daughter of John BEVAN/BEAVAN and Elizabeth (Eliza) GOUGH.
I have not been able to find William's birth records. I do know that Isabella married William NORMAN in 1884 in Birmingham. William did not find out that Isabella was his mother until he was older. He thought he was living with his aunt. The 1891 census shows William with Isabella and William NORMAN living in Tipton although he is shown as a 'visitor.' I have not been able to find either Isabella BEVAN or William BEVAN in the 1881 census. 
Any help or advice would be most welcome.

Regards
Susan

Hi Claire

Thanks for you reply. Sorry for the delay in getting back to you but I have been on holiday.

Yes I am interested in anything you have on the Ironmonger family. I have only recently discovered Sarah b. 1782 and married to Thomas Waterhouse in 1800.

The Waterhouse links to my mother-in-law who is the daughter of John Waterhouse b. 29 Dec 1873 d. 20 September 1948

Thanks again

Regards
Susan   :)

The information posted on this site was great confirmation of what I had already found. Thanks. :)

When looking for Samuel Waterhouse (born  1820) son of Thomas Waterhouse and Sarah, on IGI I also found these additional births, also children of Thomas and Sarah:-

Willm Waterhouse christened 14 Jun 1801 Castle Donington
James Waterhouse christened 26 October 1803 Castle Donington
Ann Waterhouse christened 8 March 1812 Lockington

Samuel married Elizabeth Marson on 11 October 1841 Kegworth Parish Church, Leicestershire
Samuel died 4 July 1883 Shardlow

I hope this information is helpful

Happy searching
Susan
