Title: Census 1861 Swansea & Gower
Post by: Avoca on Monday 18 April 05 09:59 BST (UK)

Looking for:

John Bevan, born ca 1838
and his wife
Ann, also born ca. 1838  (Born Pennard)
who marred 1859

Marriage took place Pennard  and so they could be there, elsewhere in Gower or in Swansea by 1861.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you for your help.

I agree with you - I do not believe these are the folk I am looking for.

Just to clear the air - did you also search Swansea ?

Hello again, This wasn't the only match for their names, but there is no match to the couple together

I picked out the Gower areas primarily when searching but scrolled onto all matches to see if they were in Swansea itself and nothing.

Hi,

Ive found a John Bevan baptised in St. Mary the Virgin, Rhossili in 1836. Not sure if its him though, no other John Bevan within a couple of years of 1838.

John Bevan son Richard & Sarah Bevan of Middletown, Rhossili on 09/10/1836.

David.
