Edward Leslie and Joan Beynon

[Deirdre784]

Hi, wondering if anyone fancies looking for the above couple?

Edward Leslie Beynon's birth was registered in Epsom, Surrey in Jul-Sept 1911, DoB recorded as 5 July 1911 on the 1939 register. His father Arthur Richard Beynon was born in Merthyr Tydfil, south Wales, and they had returned there by 1914.

In 1939 Edward was in Kelston Rd, Cardiff as a 'clerk in holy orders (Church in Wales)'. He married Joan MacArthur (birth registered as McArthur in Cardiff in Oct-Dec 1919) in Cardiff in Oct-Dec 1941.

By 1945 they had moved to in Mede Cottage in Chertsey, Surrey, and had 2 children, Elizabeth L and Peter JM. In 1953 they were living at the Vicarage, Addlestone Rd, Surrey, and by 1955 they had been joined there by Edward's parents (Arthur Richard and Stella May Beynon) and their daughter Dulcie Blanche.

I have later details on Edward's parents (including their deaths) and his sister (she married a David Oliphant in 1958 in Surrey and died in Milton Keynes in 1983) but cannot find anything on Edward Leslie and Joan after 1955, nor on their children (though there are possible marriages). Joan appears to be redacted - with her parents at 6 Knoll Crescent, Neath - in 1939 so no DoB for her, but she was said to be 1y 6m in 1921. I have searched for Edward Leslie / Edward / Leslie, and by his date of birth but nothing

Can anyone find anything later on Edward Leslie and Joan, especially their deaths. Thanks,

Deirdre

The Rev.

They arrived in Fremantle on board the S S Otranto and gave their address in England as The Vicarage, Addlestone, Surrey

There is a possibility for a death for Joan Beynon in Australia:-

BEYNON   Joan   Death notice   02APR2015   Death   95      The West Australian   04APR2015

This is from the Ryerson Index.

There is another Joan but this one has a second name:-

BEYNON   Joan Evelyn   Death notice   15NOV1999   Death   80      Herald Sun (Melbourne)   19NOV1999

That’s fantastic, thanks both. I had considered the idea that they’d emigrated as I couldn’t find deaths for either, but only found journeys for a Joan, not the Joan. His father had died in Jan 1955 so makes sense timewise. 

[Deirdre784]

Think the later death for Joan sounds good, not seen before with a second name.

Any possible deaths for Edward?

I did check for Edward but nothing came up for him either as Edward or Leslie.  If he died in Australia it does not appear to have been announced in the paper.

You could try searching registered deaths in the Australian equivalent of our GRO.

Thanks Girl Guide, will do.

Found a marriage in Westminster for an Elizabeth L Beynon in 1965, so wonder if she returned.

Just found another voyage for EL (church minister) and J, 1st class, from Christmas Island to Geraldton, on the MS Cape Horn in May 1963.
