Hope you can help
What do you want to know Pete? These are distant relatives of mine on my mom's side, and there are quite a few of us Bevan offspring in touch in Birmingham and Australia. There is a lovely cousin Sue in Shirley who is the 'keeper of the scrolls' and can fill you in on everything we have on Alfred et al, and others. As Astoninan mentioned, we may not have had a sqeaky clean history, but one of us (Stephen Bevan) is credited with saving General Montgomery’s life and got a medal for it...so that should be worth a mention at least.
This is the story as I have it, but I’m sure there are others closer to your branch who would know a lot more, but then again you might already know this. Glad I found you anyway. Write me a message and I’ll do the rest. Have a nice day cuz.
