Hi pavreal
We are indeed related.There are various renditions of our name,some quite obscure.
Your great grandfather Israel Evan b1879 in Cambridge was my grandfather Richards older brother.
We come down the branch of the same family tree.My great grandfather was William Henry Pevreal b1851 in Chepstow.He came to NZ as a child with his father William Henry(same name)and mother Elizabeth and siblings,in July 1863 on the Portland.
William signed on to the 2nd Waikato Militia(story there) 4th Company,as the NZ war had begun.The 4th company landed on the banks of the Waikato river and founded what was to become the city of Hamilton.He was allotted a land grant (382) and settled his family there.He died there in 1872 and is buried in Hamilton West cemetery
If you would like to contact me there is much more to tell.I recently visited Hewelsfield where the family came from(picture postcard stuff)and have photos of the old church there
