We know that John Bevan(s) was a steel toy maker as stated on Harry and Emily's marriage record. In the 1861 census, I see him with an Elizabeth born in Warwickshire, and a son William age 5 and daughter Sara aged 1....
You make a very good point. Obviously a cluster of matches would lead us to a mrca, but you are correct in reminding me that the paper trail is our evidence.
No idea where they fit. Lily tie to this line, or Harry Bevans line. We know his father was John and believe his mother was Elizabeth Jones. We have a cluster of shared matches that support that idea...
I have a good number of matches on My Heritage for this side of the family, shared with known cousins, but as yet have no he where they fit. I expect that they will tie in up onl Jones, ba
I did see that marriage to Chatfield and wondered... Also the census records made me question.
Dna matches for that part of the family are few.... Sadly.
When I click on view record, it lists each person. If you look at the relationship of both Wiilm and Henry, they are listed as grandson and Ann Durose is listed as mother's name
I agree with both of you. It is amazing how many on ancestry have him tied to George. I have left it open. I figure if he doesn't know, then no one does. Lol...
Here's another query for you.... Elizabeth Durose is daughter of William Durose and Sarah Padmore. On their marriage cert, he indicates father unknown.
