Introduction
Tracing	Tracing the Bevans
	I had the marriage certificate for John Bevan and Louisa Jones by 1980, so I knew about William Prout Bevan but had little else to go on, and practically no access to any relevant records. A marriage for William Prout Bevan, and a plausible baptism of a John Bevan around 1825 proved impossible to find.
	The first real progress was in 1999, when the IGI (which had just become available on the Internet) showed a Prout - Bevan marriage in 1796 - Susan Prout marrying Thomas Bevon in Barnstaple, Devon.		Marriage
	Soon after, I noticed that the CD containing the 1851 census index for Norfolk (a dry run for the full 1881 census index) also contained the census index for Devon (how things have changed since those days!!).  I bought the CD and found William P. Bevan and his wife Mary Ann both aged 55 in Barnstaple. The census entries show the Bevans in Barnstaple living with lodgers called Nomall and Howard, possibly related, and a possible son Thomas Bevan living with his mother-in-law Sarah Darke , sister-in-law Sarah Darke, and niece Mary Ann Darke.		1851 Census
	Nothing pointed to what the maiden name of Mary Ann, wife of William Prout Bevan, might be. So, in 2005, on the off-chance that investigating the Darkes might lead somewhere, I ordered a copy of the marriage of Thomas Bevan and Mary Ann Darke in 1845. This showed her father as Edward Darke, a gentleman - so likely to have been well off, and someone who might have left a PCC Will - which proved the case.		Marriage
	In fact, the will of Edward Rolle Darke states that Mary Ann the wife of William Prout Bevan is his daughter, and that Mary Ann the wife of Thomas Bevan was his illegitimate daughter by his second (common-law) wife Sarah Brand (or Darke). So father and son married half-sisters!		Will
Proofs	Proofs
PP_15	That Susan Bevan (15) was the mother of Lily Buchan (7)
	Our descent from my grandmother Lily Buchan is confirmed by more than one DNA match with descendants of her brother Richard Alexander Buchan, and sister Florence Buchan.		DNA
	Lily Buchan, daughter of Richard Buchan and Susan Bevan was born on 9 July 1890 in Everton.		Birth
	Richard Buchan and Susan Bevan married in 1880 in Liverpool.		Marriage
	Richard and Susan Buchan had 3 children by the 1891 census  in Walton-on-the-Hill, including Lily (Libby), Susan is given as aged 32 (born c. 1859), and born in Liverpool.		1891 Census
	Richard and Susan Buchan had a further 4 children by the 1901 census  in Walton-on-the-Hill. Susan is given as aged 41 (born c. 1860), and born in Liverpool.		1901 Census
	Richard and Susan Buchan still had 4 children living with them at the time of the 1911 census  in Walton-on-the-Hill. Susan is given as aged 52 (born c. 1859), and born in Liverpool.		1911 Census
	Susan Buchan, of West Derby, died in the fourth quarter of 1927 aged 68 (born c. 1859).		Death
	Susan daughter of John Bevan and Louisa Bevan née Jones was born on 3 April 1859 in Liverpool.		Birth
	My descent from Susan Bevan is confirmed by at least 7 DNA matches averaging about 22cM with descendants of her siblings Mary Ann and William Joseph Bevan, and at least 21 matches averaging about 31cm of all descendants of Susan with all descendants of those siblings.		DNA
	So the mother of Lily Buchan (7),
	Susan Bevan (15), born in 1859 in Liverpool,
	married to Richard Buchan (14) in 1880 in Liverpool,		PP_14
	died in 1927 in Liverpool, was the daughter of
	John Bevan (30), and		PP_30
	Louisa Jones (31).		PP_31
PP_30	That John Bevan (30) was the father of Susan Bevan (15)
	Susan daughter of John Bevan and Louisa Bevan née Jones was born on 3 April 1859 in Liverpool.		PP_15
	John Bevan and Louisa Jones were married on 29 October 1855 in Liverpool. John is aged 30 (born c. 1825) and his father is given as William Prout Bevan.		Marriage
	Louisa Bevan (a seaman's wife - i.e. John is away) has 2 daughters in the 1861 census - Mary Ann aged 3 (born c. 1858) and Susan aged 2.		1861 Census
	John and Louisa Bevan have 3 children in the 1871 census - Susan aged 11, William aged 7 and John E. Aged 2. John is aged 45 (born c. 1826 in London)		1871 Census
	John and Louisa Bevan have 3 children in the 1881 census - Susan aged 22 with her husband Richard aged 23, Willis J. aged 15, John E. aged 12, and Sarah E. aged 10. John is aged 55 (born c. 1826 in London)		1881 Census
	John the son of William Bevan, a cooper and Mary was baptised on 21 August 1825 in St. Anne Limehouse, Middlesex.		Birth
	My descent from John Bevan is confirmed by at least 27 DNA matches averaging about 33cM with descendants of his siblings Mary Ann, Thomas, William Prout, Susannah, Walter Molton and George Henry Bevan, and at least 66 matches averaging about 25cm of all descendants of John with all descendants of those siblings.		DNA
	So the father of Susan Bevan (15),
	John Bevan (30), born in 1825 in Limehouse,
	married to Louisa Jones (31) in 1855 in Liverpool,		PP_31
	died in 1891 in Liverpool, was the son of
	William Prout Bevan (60), and		PP_60
	Mary Ann Darke (61).		PP_61
PP_60	That William Prout Bevan (60) was the father of John Bevan (30)
	John Bevan and Louisa Jones were married on 29 October 1855 in Liverpool. John is aged 30 (born c. 1825) and his father is given as William Prout Bevan.		PP_30
	John the son of William Bevan, a cooper and Mary was baptised on 21 August 1825 in St. Anne Limehouse, Middlesex.		Birth
	Mary Ann Bevan aged 45 and 5 sons, John aged 15, Reece aged 12, James aged 8, Walter aged 6 and George aged 2 are living at Hardawayhead in the 1841 census for Barnstaple along with one lodger.		1841 Census
	William P. Bevan aged 55, a journeyman cooper, born in Barnstaple, his wife Mary Ann Bevan aged 55 born in Barnstaple, and their son George H. aged 11 are living at Hardawayhead in the 1851 census for Barnstaple along with four lodgers called Nomall and Howard.		1851 Census
	William Prout Bevan aged 65, a cooper, born in Barnstaple, his wife Mary Ann Bevan aged 65 born in Barnstaple are living at Hardawayhead in the 1861 census for Barnstaple along with three lodgers called Nomall and Howard.		1861 Census
	Prout B. William', certainly William Prout Bevan, aged 75, a cooper, born in Barnstaple, his wife Mary Ann Bevan aged 75 born in Barnstaple are living at Hardawayhead in the 1871 census for Barnstaple.		1871 Census
	William Prout Bevan died in 1873 aged 77 in Barnstaple.		Death
	William base child of Susannah Prout was baptised on 13 January 1796 in Barnstaple, exactly one week later than his future wife Mary Ann Darke!		Birth
	Two and a half months later Susannah Prout and a certain Thomas Bevan married in Barnstaple on 28 March 1796.William Prout thereby became 'William Prout Bevan'		Marriage
	My descent from John Bevan is confirmed by at least 27 DNA matches averaging about 33cM with descendants of his siblings Mary Ann, Thomas, William Prout, Susannah, Walter Molton and George Henry Bevan, and at least 66 matches averaging about 25cm of all descendants of John with all descendants of those siblings.		DNA
	So the father of John Bevan (30),
	William Prout Bevan (60), born in 1796 in Barnstaple,
	married to Mary Ann Darke (61) in 1816 in Barnstaple,		PP_61
	died in 1873 in Barnstaple, was the son of
	Thomas Bevan? (120), and		PP_120
	Susan Prout (121).		PP_121
PP_120	That Thomas Bevan (120) was the father of William Prout Bevan (60)
	William Prout Bevan was baptised as 'base child' William Prout by his mother Susan Prout with no indication of the father's identity. William acquired the surname Bevan when his mother married Thomas Bevan a few month after he was born, so Thomas Bevan was probably NOT his natural father. Unless some evidence of the father comes to light (litigation for support, acknowledgement in a later will, DNA match, etc.), the male line here is untraceable.		PP_60
