Oddly enough, Edwyn Bevan's Wiki entry mentions two daughters but not named.

Christina Elizabeth Frances Bevan is found on a passenger list for New York, I don't have a ancestory.com account so can't get any more info

Maybe she had kids or got married over there

I have an ancestry a/c, and like you had a quick look to see what I could find.  She does cross the Atlantic at least 4 times between 1947 and 1955......however when she passes away in 1981 it is under the name Bevan, so that would seem to imply she didn't marry.

kilkennylass your point about Christina still having her maiden name at death is correct...very unlikely she married.

It's kinda strange she never did marry, she was attractive and came from a rich family. Maybe she had a sweetheart that died during World War One. during the war she would of been a debutant and must of had suitors.  She still has a nephew who still might be alive, maybe he knows ??

In the daily mail someone posted where Christina Nephew Died

SANDERS, Robert Francis - Age 76 on June 23rd in Ontario, Canada. Son of the late Charles Craven Sanders and Anne Cornelia Favell Sanders (Bevan). Beloved husband of Veronica and brother of Benita. Funeral service will be held on Saturday, June 28th at the Holy Trinity Church, Jocelyn Township, St. Joseph Island at 11 am. Rev. Rosalie Goos officiating. In lieu of flowers donations may be given to the Salvation Army. Arrangements entrusted to the BARTON & KITELEY FUNERAL HOME & CREMATION CENTRE,

No mention of any children .....so sadly no living relative might be the case

The fact that Christina made four trips to New York might be explained by the fact if she has a nephew living in Canada. New York is not too far away from where her nephew is buried and I assume lived.

I thought that the o'gorman family was interesting but the Bevan family is way more interesting. they were rich via Christina's grandfather being a partner in Barcleys Bank. Her grandfather on her mother side was Baron Radstoke
