Please see last post on this thread as it is rather long, I am still looking for help in a few areas
Thanks

Ok, the marriage cert for William Henry Bevan to Jessie Bloomer came today. William was age 28 a bachelor living 3 back 12 Hope st Birmingham Parish St Lukes. His father was named, William Henry Richard Kynersley Bevan. Deceased in 1907 when the marriage took place.

So it looks like I had it wrong, I will do a bit digging later tonight as I am off out now, just wanted all who have been helping with this one what turned up.

Thanks to all
Kathy

I know I have added this posting on another line but thought it might be better to start a fresh line so as not to cause confusing



UPDATE
Hi I have the certs that I sent for and I am a bit confused now.

The line goes like this.

Aurther James Bevan b NOV 1915, father William Henry, mother Jessie Bloomer Both born Birmingham county Warwick. So far we had it right.

The birth cert for his father William Henry Bevan b march 1881, states his father was William Bevan mother Sarah Ann Turnpenny.

I have found the marriage for them.

Marriages Mar 1875
Bevan William Birmingham 6d 5
Turnpenny Sarah Ann Birmingham 6d 5

Also the 1881 census

William BEVAN Head M Male 21 Birmg, Warwick, England Bricklayers Laborer
Sarah A. BEVAN Wife M Female 20 Shrewsbury, Shropshire, England
William H. BEVAN Son Male 2 w Birmg, Warwick, England

If you look at the ages it would mean that when they married they would have been 15 and 14? The fact they have a son William Henry age 2 weeks would fit. Also the address on the birth cert for the son has the same address as the 1881 census? Its all a bit odd.

Anyway, if anyone can find them in any other census i might be able to piece it together.

Any input would be welcome. On a sorrier subject my little dog died in my arms on monday she was only 8 but had a bad heart, i am heartbroken I am trying to keep busy and keep my mind occupied, so if I seem a bit confused please bare with me

Many thanks
Kathy

Hi and thanks for all your input. Lindsey I think you could be right about the cert being the wrong one. I hate when that happens. I will have to send for the one you posted and see what that turns up. I knew I had them on the 1911/1901 and 1881, father Henry mother mary. I dont have the 1891 census so not sure when Henry died. Mary was a widow in 1901. Darn it, these certs cost way to much now.

Thanks again
Kathy

The fact that his mothers birth place is the same in all the above census makes me believe I am on the right path.

I don't have the marriage cert for William who married Jessie Bloomer, if I send for that it will at least confirm Williams fathers name.

But I believe I am looking for Henry Bevan who married Mary? I haven't had much luck finding the marriage.

I am keeping all your posts on record just in case they fall into place at some time.

I cant thank you enough all for your help.

Hi Kathleen, looking at the Birmingham elec roll 1930 is it possible William and Jessie went on to have a son with middle name Kynnersley? I know this is forward in time rather than back which is where you want to go but if this info is needed then let me know and I will post it

Hi Vanessa, how kind of you, yes I would love to have any info on the family, I know they had Aurther in 1915 but not much else about them.

Thanks a lot

Hi Kathleen, I did a basic search on free bmd and x referenced with the elec roll. I have found a family after 1911 who seem to fit with your couple, William and Jessie . They had 5 sons . I am going to send their names in a PM as some may still be alive??

Best wishes

Hi , Kathleen , just looking at all this again this morning and hope I am on the right lines ??

In 1891 it would appear the Bevan couple at Glover st are the parents of the William whose birth cert you have got ? William and Sarah.

In 1881 you have Henry and Mary on Glover st with their William.

Is it a coincidence or could they be connected ? Bevan is not that common although I know we must not just jump to conclusions.

I believe it is possible to look at consecutive pages of the census on Ancestry and I was just wondering if you looked up and down Glover st 1891 you might find Mary / Henry and William.

Not fully worked this through so hope someone can help out / dismiss it !

best wishes

Hi Vanessa, you seen to have found a bit of a query, it seems odd 2 Bevan households at the same address but diff names? I wonder if they were brothers both with a son called Henry, until I can go further back I cant understand it. I have sent you a PM. Still if any one can help sort this out I would be grateful

Think I am now correct in saying that the marriage on free bmd for

Mary Byard in Birmingham is to a
Richard Henry W K Bevan
Mar Q 1877 6 d 68

Maybe another name add to the pot and possible verification of the 1841 census found by Ozibird

??

Vanessa

edit - I see now that this had been found by Ozibird previously . Looks like a good option Kathy.

My only other thought ( unless I have missed something ) is could Henry have been married before? It seems quite old for both of them to still be single ? I guess the cert would answer this .
