Cheltenham St Mary's parish register
« on: Tuesday 15 July 08 14:02 BST (UK) »
If someone has access to the PR for St Mary's Cheltenham I would be grateful for a lookup.
The person I am interested in is EMILY SUSAN BEVAN (or Beavan), born between 1832 and 1834. Her parents' names should be James and Miriam ... though it is possible she may have been the daughter of James Bevan by a different partner. Ideally, if no Emily Bevan is found, I would be interested in any other Emilys - particularly Emily Susans.
Other members of her family were christened at St Mary's, and family burials were likewise. I know this person married William Stevens of Cheltenham sometime between 1850 and 1857, but no record turns up in FreeBMD. Emily is always shown as born Cheltenham, though even in the 1841 census she is not shown at her father's address, but lives in a school at Staverton. In 1851 she was a milliner's apprentice in Montpellier Street, Cheltenham.
With many thanks in anticipation
Ian in Cornwall

Many thanks, Sue - and so quick!
I have been puzzling over this person for such a long time, wondering whether she was a full member of James Bevan's family ... and now I know she was!
Best wishes from overcast Cornwall
Ian :)
