Hi Folks
after deciding to Google the surname Beevers in manchester i came up with the following Gentleman
CECIL ARNOLD BEEVERS , who was born in Manchester on 27th May 1908, (known as Dr C. Arnold Beevers)
now i beleive he went to live in liverpool with his family, but i am curious to know if he is related to me or not as i have Manchester Beevers too, and was wondering if he could of possibly been my nana's cousin.
I was wondering if anyone could please tell me who his father was , just to see if there is a family connection,
bw Jo ;)

Birth registered June qtr 1908 Chorlton Vol 8c Page 890. Unfortunately it's not on the Lancs BMD to see his parents' names, but I did find his marriage there in 1935 to Marjorie Stitch at the Society of Friends, 55 Paradise Street, Liverpool. It's on the GRO as Sept qtr. 1935 Liverpool S Vol 8b Page 609.
Hope this helps a bit.

Looks as though he married for a second time to Yvonne ? Can't find this one, which probably happened in Scotland, where he lived for a good part of his life. (Just been reading his interesting obit on Google!)

Just to say that I knew Arnold Beevers from my time as a research student at Edinburgh University working in a lab next to his and working in a similar subject area. As far as your original query is concerned, the 1911 census shows his family living in the Wavertree area of Liverpool. His father was William Henry Beevers and his mother's name was Ethel. Both his parents were born in Huddersfield.

Hi Jo, please forgive me for taking the liberty of approaching you directly in this way but I perked up when I saw your earlier post about you searching for info on Cynghordy Hall and your ancestors. My late grandfather also worked at Cynghordy Hall, maybe 1940-60s if not longer and I am just beginning to dip a toe in the water of trying to trace my family roots. I'd be so interested to know if you were successful in your search and if you would be kind enough to let me know which sources of information are available and informative. I'm finding it rather hard to track down records as all the family in Cynghordy have long since passed away and surviving cousins moved away, mostly lost touch etc. I would love to be able to give my children an idea of their own histories one day as my dad died when I was 7 and my grandfather when I was 8, so my own children never knew the joy of those two dear men. If you have time to reply, I'd love to hear back, many thanks and seasonal best wishes. I have left a somewhat lengthy post on here in the hope that someone, somewhere might read it and find it triggers a memory or two.
