I am looking for the birth of  John Bevan, b 1867-1868 possibly in Portland Estate.The marriage entry saysWilliam, but I can't establish if this is a SA birth or not without the indexes.
This John married Eliza Jane Burman in Port Pirie in 1891 and I have found their deaths( also photo) and one 2 year old son, but would also like to know the others please, I believe there were 5-6.
regards
Cathy

so William remarried a Charlotte Dale or Banes after Elizabeth died.
Excellent stuff!
yes, robert I am sure that you have John's father William there.
I wasn't sure if the William name went down through the generations, it seems that John is the common pattern- but then, it has been a popular name for a very long time!
cheers

[Roydie]

many thanks so far!!
With your help I am developing the line really nicely and have lots to go on.

We have  5 known children to John and Eliza(beth) nee Burman
Stanley John died as an infant 1893-1896
Maude b 1892
George Henry b 1896 m Daisy Palmer
Pearl b 1903
and John Stanley, an oral record only. 26.9.1916, Port Pirie

There is a John Stanley birth for 26.9.1916 to Maude Bevan, father of child not recorded, in Kent Town, Adelaide. There is a twin recorded Francis Humphrey Bevan.

Looking at Eliza's projected age in 1915 = 46/47
Looking at her daughter  Maude's projected age in 1916= 24

So far I have seen no sign of a John Stanley being born to John and Eliza.
Questions:
 do you think by 1915/1916 the indexes would be complete? ie when did SA begin compulsory registering of life events
 is there a marriage by a Bevan male to a Maude in this timeframe?
 cheers
Cathy

So far I have seen no sign of a John Stanley being born to John and Eliza.

b: 14 Jul 1893
Book/Page: 525/349
Father: John Bevan
Mother: Elizabeth Burman
Place Port Pirie S. Australia.

Bob  that birth detail  was given in reply  no 1 by Redgum , I  think Boydie is looking for a much later birth in 1915/1916

Roydie, I  think  you  have solved your own puzzle  the birth of John Stanley Bevan father not recorded mother Maude  would indicate  that possibly  he was brought up  thinking his grandparents were his parents, an often occurrence in  those times.

There is a twin recorded Francis Humphrey Bevan.

not sure what you mean by  this?
