Looking for John Bevan born 1806/07 Clevedon Somerset.

Hi

The fiche I was looking at was headed 'General 1740-1812' (as opposed to separate for baptisms, marriages & burials) and I couldn't see anything but Baptisms on there.

It may be that the matches and dispatches were done at Clevedon, I'll have a look next time I'm in't library.

Ian,
That wouldbe great if you would.
There is no urgency and don't feel under any obligation to do so.

Hi Ian,
I have just received through the post a copy of the second marriage certificate for John Bevan.
His second marriage took place in October 1853 and his fathers name is John Bevan (deceased) a Farm Labourer.

So we have at least proved that the son's and fathers name matches the baptism of John Bevan in 1809.

John Bevan the son signs with an X in the marriage certificate which shows he and probably his father couldn't spell Bevan and consequently Beaven in the baptism could be correct.
Regards
Brian
