i know on the 1881 he said he was 30, but i have found a christening for a william bevan 10 dec 1843 in Alberbuy, think you said that would be probably the closes church to Stanford, do you think he was telling porckies? do you think this could be a possible? bren

thanks for the offer of having a snoop round for me.
i wonder if i can be cheeky, and just mention my grandfathers parents who are proving equally problematic , and seeing they are from your part of the world.
Charles Daves a journey man butcher from Welshpool born abt 1851. married Elizabeth Hill  she was from Brosley salop abt 1862/4
they were married in Madeley have the year somewhere and have sent for cert.
i have also sent for my grandfathers cert Arthur Henry davies born 1887 Madeley.  there are a few possible Elizabeth Hill, the certs will sort her out, but can't find anything on Charles from welshpool.
for 1851 or there abouts,  i have them on the 1891 census living at 60 wilton st haywood lancs.

hi jan
yes have mary's birth cert 29th march 1889 greengate salford.
11 simpsons passage, it looks like Brennery st can't make it out.
father william Bevan mother Alice Marsden, Chorley. so william must have died shortly after her birth, as alice is a widow  on the 1901 census. so that musn't have been our william in salford.
the pelling on the 1901 census was Bevin they were living at 9 lester st salford.
his birth date should be arounf 1851, if he was telling the truth.
bye for now bren

hi Jan thanks for going to so much trouble for me.
as for Stanford, a guy from OZ sent me a small map, showing Stanford, as you say it is not on any of my maps.
if you take the a458 heading out of Shrewsbury to Welshpool, you take a right at wollaston on a side rd heading to Alberbury, it's midway between the two.
so thats as far as i have got with that, a friend who lives in Church stretton said he will have a drive round when he gets chance and see if there is a church there. so no nearer William as yet, but hopefully with help i will find him thanks again for your trouble, going away for a week so if you don't get a reply thats why bren.

thank you so much geff
not knowing the area your information is invaluable. i thought the wrawby on some info i have was a miss spelling
and mistakenly thought it was wragby. seemingly there is a mary Ibbert christend at wrawby 20th june 1804.
my mary hibbert born 1803/4  gave chapel hill lincoln on all census's i have as being her place of birth.  maybe her parents had family connections in wragby and thats why she was christened there.
she married john flanagan hawker, we think he was irish have neveer found marriage cert, but plenty of info of her living with seemingly her only son in stockport cheshire. where she died late 1881.aged 77. so the years add up. what do you think?  thanks for your time breda

wow thanks

i thought those were her parents names, seeing it is so far back how do i go about getting copies or details. I'm new to this game, but I'm so grateful for  the help of people like you that have the know how.
Mary Hubert married an Irish man john Flanagan hawker, i know nothing more of him, only Mary was a widow with a son James my great grand father they lived in stockport, on all census's i have she states she was born in chapel hill Lincoln, so it looks as if I'm getting close thank you again bread
