hi all

Right here goes we found that list of names in the 1911 census
below is a link to the 1911 entry that we have been looking at:

http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/records/srzoomer.aspx?key=2557922&ff_type=51&srchkey=16275026

We have seen the entry in 1901 spelt Bevens and believe that they are the same family...

George Bevans - in 1911 census states he was a Dock labourer.

My nephew came up with the Wilson link --I have just rung him to look and come back to me to let me know where he got it... Will post that bit as soon as I know

Thank you everyone

I meant the list of all 9 of the children? My search
(free, at http://www.1911census.co.uk/search/tnaform.aspx)
only turned up the ones I listed.

The 1901 is surely the same family.

George Bevens 41
Elizabeth Bevens 39
Mary A Bevens 11
Robert Bevens 6
James Bevens 3
Jesse Bevens 6 Months
(no older children with them)

-- btw, the 1901 image actually says Canning Town, not Cannington -- but all of the Bevens household are "ditto" to someone two names above theirs. I would doubt the accuracy.

What does the 1911 say for their birthplaces?


This George in 1881 is a dock labourer, but old:

Name: George Bevan
Age: 29
Estimated birth year: abt 1852
Relation: Son
Father's name: James Bevan
Mother's name: Flora Bevan
Where born: Deptford, Kent, England

Civil Parish: West Ham
County/Island: Essex
Street address: 5 Charlotte St

James Bevan 58 - dock labourer
Flora Bevan 58
George Bevan 29



Just can't spot your George for definite in any year before 1901.


You saw that James Robert's birth was registered as BEVINS?

I see from the image which you have seen they have named all nine surviving children even though they were not living there. Also saying how long each one had been married and in one case they were widowed

JaneyCanuck Report 19 Jan 2011 23:47

Yikes -- can you copy that for us, jax? how long each surviving child had been married, which one was widowed?

I only ask because you are soooo nice. ;)

So that's where the list Robert gave at the beginning came from. Got it!



I have been searching and searching in 1891 for any of them, and for births, to absolutely no avail.

I tend more and more to think that the older children were children of Elizabeth -- and am waiting w/ bated breath for the info about her name. ;)

ROGERS Edith Florence W. Ham 4a 19

These births seem a tad late, and I don't see a Charles and Flor* Rayment couple in 1911, but there is no other Bevans-Rayment marriage:

Births Mar 1920
Rayment James C Bevans W.Ham 4a 472

There is no Florence Ann/ie Bev* birth 1882-1889 in London/Essex.

Births Dec 1887 ??

edit - no - this is that one in 1891 in Monmouthshire

Yay -- evidence of children born with the Bev* surname in the early 1880s -- since that birth matches with the 1902 marriage, which matches with the 1911 info that George Jr married c1902.

Webb! I was just looking at an earlier census for some Bev* with Webbs in the household! Let me find it again!


1891

Name: Florence Bevan
Age: 6
Estimated birth year: abt 1885
Relation: Daughter
Father's name: George Bevan
Mother's name: Sophia Bevan
Where born: Chatham

Civil Parish: Chatham

County/Island: Kent

George Bevan 57 - farm labourer
Sophia Bevan 47
Sarah Bevan 17
Florence Bevan 6
John Webb 69 - army pensioner
Henry James 50
Ann James 49
Arthur James 10
Elizabeth James 7

Name: George Bevan
Age: 57
Estimated birth year: abt 1834
Relation: Head
Spouse's name: Sophia Bevan
Where born: Wortham, Kent, England

Name: John Webb
Age: 69

probably a total coincidence ...

Can't find a marriage for that George & Sophia.

I just love people who go by their middle names. ;)

So that's Florence in 1911. And the only likely-looking birth is:

Births Dec 1887
Bevan Florence Annie J Chepstow 11a 8


Did they do like Ernest, and emigrate to Australia for a few years, just in time for the 1891 census??
