with regard to the george aged 7 in 1881 census
i cannot find a birth of a beevis in mitford dist between 1871-1881 that would in anyway fit
the only beevis births in that timespan in mitford are beatrice ann and charles peter
also there is an albert on the same census aged 8 with william/sarah
cannot find his birth either
maybe they were born elsewhere or the name is transcribed wrongly on the bmd
will have a look for birth using first name only in mitford area.
-
this must be albert
name; albert beavours
1872 3rd qtr mitford
wonder if george is spelt the same?
-
sorry cannot find the birth of george

it does not give the ages of any of the females for some reason.
anyway you now have henry 1861-1901
will go back to the father william amd sarah you have them 1861-1881 already will look for 1891-1901 might with a bit of luck see if there are any clues about george born 1874
