As an added note to this message I forgot that in the 1960 census in
Nevada Co, Ca census there is a John Bevan age 32, Ann Bevan age 20
and an Ellen age 20. This Ellen could possibly be a sister or sister
in law to John Bevan. We do not know

Hi, I am asking for some help with these family members from
Swansea,
Wales. I will appreciate any help any of you can offer. I will
post
to the WLS- Swansea list and the Glamorgan list in the hopes of this
getting to someone who might know of these families.
I am searching for John BEVAN and J. Annie NORRIS. These two people
were my great-great-grandparents. This is what I know from my end.
They came to US in 1852 and must have made more than one trip as the
middle child was born back in Wales.
The 1900 US census for Bridgeport township, North San Juan Town,
Nevada County, California states:
1. John Bevan b. Jun 1828 age 72 married 40 years he and his
parents
born in Wales. From my mother's notes, we believe he was born
in
Swansea, So Wales.
John Bevan's father was John Bevan mother was Elizabeth Jenkins.
Swansea was where my grandmother said that John Bevan and J. Annie
Norris were married in 1860.
2. J. Annie (Norris) Bevan b. 1840 age 59 she and both her parents
born in Wales. Annie Norris's father was James Norris.
Children: none listed in 1900 censes 3 shown in 1880 census:
1. H. William Bevan age 19 born California (Sebastopol)
2. J Annie Bevan age 12 born in Wales
3. E Elizabeth Bevan age 1 born in California (Sebastopol) She was
called Ellen
1900 census states J Annie Bevan (the mother) had 4 children, two
still living. My mom's notes mention an Elizabeth possibly having
died in Wales.
Son: H. William married E. J. Mc Cullough 30 Mar 1884
Daughter: J. Annie married Carl Anderson had a son born 12 Apr 1892
in
Oregon
Daughter: Ellen Elizabeth married Edward Clymo (He was born in
California but parents both born in Camborne, Cornwall England) 28
Aug
1898. Their children were Merle Clymo b. 1899 (my grandmother).
Hazel
Clymo and Verna Clymo.
This is long enough without going further down. I wanted to include
some of this for the sake of people that children might have been
named after.
Thank you,
Marilyn (Brown) Cathers
