Find Ancestors

It looks like a number of others were buried in the same grave reference, according to the site Chris posted.

But not husband Ernest Bevan (from 1939 register) who died in 1960. According to Edwards birth her maiden name was Kirk, and the parents marriage is registered Ashton, 1908, they had at least 3 children from what I can see - surely if one of them was alive they would have at least remembered her birthday or age?

I'm not trying to argue against the 1939 Choccy posted, it could well be correct, but rather eliminate this death if possible - on the premise one down, even more to go!! You were dubious the death I posted for CDL was likely - but it turned up to be right as your dad had registered it.

Looks in, but brain not in gear, lol (nice day out!)

Saw below, Glossop...(from google search)

You are assuming that the 1939 (1973 death) is the one I found for the death - what if that isn't the right one? Just throwing doubts on Choccy's find - not sure it is the same person as age is out even more.

Just challenging you out further!

The Glossop death can't be right...she was in Newport when Edward was born.

So timeline I am sure of:
Born 1880 baptised 08 August
1918 imprisoned for 2 months
Charles and Maria at 36 Constance Street 1918-1922
Maria dies 09 May 1922 - Charles gone from electoral role by Autumn
Writes will 18 November 1922 in Bridgwater, dies 02 MAY 1926..

Roll on 1921 census - back in 4 years time :-)

You always have to throw a spanner in the works Choccy!!!

But, was her son or husband still around at the time of death - if so why an estimate of birth year and not knowing her dob?

This could be the Eva Bevan who died in Glossop

1939 Register


Bevan Household (3 People)

19 Peter Sw , Glossop M.B., Derbyshire, England


Eva Bevan 26 Jun 1886 Female Coston Weaver In Factory Now Engaged In Unpaid Domestic Duties Married 67 2
Ernest Bevan 03 Jan 1886 Male General Labourer At Presser Unemployed Married 67 1
Edward Bevan 20 Jan 1920 Male Bus Carries For Cotton & Silk Weavering Factory Single 67 4

I don't know that the DC will give you any confirmation - likely to have been registered by someone who didn't know her well, hence the "approx" birth year rather than a DOB. She would have been in her 90s so maybe no close family still living or known?

Your uncle was (as you say) a black sheep, so maybe she kept a low profile as well.

Ha Flip! I re-read this only the other day!

Funnily enough, your post got me going on Eva again today :-) I sort of looked at this death and wondered....

I am almost as sure as I can be that she did not marry - I have looked at several potentials (from 1939 register) and can rule them all out (though I am going to double check.

I have been through all the births of her siblings and, just like her's, the actual birth date or year is wrong on at least half of them in the school records. So I know the registration was September quarter 1880 and therefore I am going for 08 July (she was baptised on 08 August) and not the 08 November in the school record.

I am going to have a go at double-checking this evening and then maybe I will try a death certificate (there aren't many that come near)

Your posting on my thread made me come back to this, remembering we still hadn't put Eva to bed.

Have you investigated this death, it's just whoever registered has guessed at her age so couldn't have known her that well.

Deaths Dec 1973 (>99%)

BEVAN EVA ABOUT1884 GLOSSOP 10A 2329

I can't see a probate record, and there is no entry on the Bona Vacantia lists - also not sure if the DC would be of any help in deciding if it is your Eva.

GAWD, hope his family isn't as complicated as this one! Good to hear from you Jude.

Nice to see you're holding up, and keeping up the research. I'll be back next month with other subs if my internet keeps holding out - can't believe with a booster antenna and Wi-Fi box I've now got 4G:) Absolute luxury - apart from when OH crashes it - MEN.

I already have a thread on it from a while ago...Steeds, Jarretts and Burrows lol!

Jude

(uh oh!, awaits those queries then, lol. Glad to see Family History discussed with future in laws Jude, hope eyes weren't 'glazing over' either!)

Keep strong.

Chris :)

Flip - Hi!

Keeps me busy :-)

Yes I like the 1911 census. It fits with the 1901 census that I had already "assumed". It's worth resurrecting threads every now and then...this time I found out quite what a blackguard Charles was! I think the only way I am going to find more is if they ever release the 1921 census. I am as sure as I can be that Eva and Charles would have been living at 34 Constance Street.

But where she went after Charles died I know not. I can't find a marriage or a death.

Chris is right - it's been too long!

2016 has been an eventful year. My dad died in April - 16 weeks ago today. So I have been busy clearing out the house. And two weeks on Friday, I get to be Mother of the Bride when my younger daughter marries.

Christopher's family are very interesting :-) with a name change!

Jude

(welcomes back Flip, been too long, lol)

Chris :)

You never give up do you ;-) Just re-registered on here today, and the first thing I find is your thread. Good to see you're still keeping busy.

For what it's worth I think the 1911 census posted by Choccy is a distinct possibility, also the christening posted earlier looks a likely contender even though it doesn't correspond to the school birth date. Looks like dad registered her in school, and they never remember dates (my ex actually texted me a few months ago to check our son's birth date - but say no more he'd already missed it!)

I haven't yet subscribed to other sites yet - want to see how the mobile broadband holds out as we still can't get a phone line here, but I'll watch your thread with interest.

Could be...age out, as is birthplace. But raglan is not far from Monmouth ....
