hi folks, I've done this as a separate post as though it my direct line, it wriggles about a bit before returning to Surrey. My James BEAVIS, a bank clerk, [son of Lambeth born JAMES BEAVIS, cheesemonger,] married Elizabeth Lumsden DAVIDSON in 1884 way up in NBL where his work had taken him. Within a few short years, he grew seriously ill, [TB] and they emigrated to NZ for his health, but he died within a couple of years and Elizabeth returned and is next spotted in Kensington, London, remarrying. In 1896 she married Rev Theodore Percy BROCKLEHUSRT, CofE, and they settled in Reigate SRY with her two children, Lena & Ernest Norman BEAVIS now under the name BROCKLEHURST Their own first two kids were born there: Thomas Davidson Theodore Brocklehurst, [Dr] b.1897 Vera Ive Brocklehurst b.1899 Theodore was then moved to YKS where another child was born. However, some time after Theodore's death in 1933, Elizabeth returned to Surrey where she lived until her death in 1949 at Kingswood, Banstead. If anyone recognises this family, I'd be very pleased to hear from them. Wishing you all the very best over Xmas and lots of research successes throughout the coming year. le durachd Fionnghal
