Thread: Thomas Dixon Bevan

Hi

We are searching for our Gt Uncle Tom. We now know he went to Australia because lots of very kind people have found the record of his death in a NSW cemetary, what we would like is to find online records of his life, Marriage, Children etc. If anybody can give us web addresses for such sites we would be very grateful



Thankyou

Dick

we need a little more info than his name, like a date of birth, date of departure from UK, name of parents



I will see what i can find for you then

Hi Frankie

He was born in the last 1/4 of 1893 at Bishops Lydeard Nr Taunton Somerset UK, his father was Henry Dixon Bevan a Blacksmith in the Village, his mother Faith Duddridge. the details in the 1901 census return was all we knew of him until this week we were told he died in 1973 at Gosforth NSW Australia, He was married to a Betty (Muz) who died in 1988 and is buried with him.



You now know all we know, not much eh.



Dick

OK I have found his death record if you wish to apply for the certificate you need to go to NSW BDM and fill in the application form and then quote 48432/1973 as the registration number

I have looked for his marriage, but am unable to find it listed in the family history on these pages but have a look as you might find him where as I couldnt



I hope this helps



Frankie

Hi Frankie

Hi Nanna



Thanks for that, I dont think that the marriage is correct because he is buried with his wife Betty (Muz) it is the time between 1901 and 1973 that we are looking for



Thanks again

Dick
