Title: Frederick Bevan from Oxwich Castle, The Gower
Post by: HayleyJ on Monday 23 May 11 21:53 BST (UK)
Happened upon this site by putting Fred Bevan in Google.  Very interested in contacting NormanBev who wrote on this site October 09, looking for his grandfather, Fred Bevan, possibly from Oxwich Castle.  Fred Bevan from Oxwich Castle was my grandfather, and the information left by Lee ties in completely with our known family history (Great Grandparents, Francis & Mary Bevan - 11 children). NormanBev was using the chat room from South Africa and believed his grandfather, Fred Bevan emigrated in 1915.  My grandfather did go to South Africa but came back and married my grandmother.  I do not know how he got to South Africa.  NormanBev suggested his relative went on HMS Defence. It is possible that they are one and the same man, but if NormanBev's grandfather remained in South Africa then they are not.

Can anyone help me contact NormanBev please and find out what he discovered. It is possible he is a long lost uncle, but it is also possible his Fred Bevan didn't come from Oxwich Castle at all.  Thank you.

I'd be interested in seeing your line. My 3XGreat Grandmother was Sarah Bevan (she married Charles Morgan). Sarah was daughter of Rowland & Elizabeth Bevan of Penrice.  Rowland was son of Samuel & Elinor of Penrice.  Samuel was son of Francis & Mary of Oxwich Castle. I have the line back from there, but I like to do the lines forward too.. and while I have a lot of Bevan lines in to the mid to late 1800s.. I don't seem to have info on your Fred.  You can email me at mpitkin (AT) live.com
