Trying to find birth records for the children of Edward and Susannah Bevan. Edward Bevan was born in Bushley in 1773, and there is a marriage record for Edward Bevan and Susannah Cole in Strensham, Worcestershire dated 29th May 1797 (source IGI, so if anyone has access to the Parish records, I'd welcome confirmation and any additional details such as marriage witnesses, etc). There is a record of Ann Bevan born in Bushley in 1803, daughter of Edward and Susannah Bevan, but no other births. Specifically, I'm looking for EDWARD BEVAN b c 1807. I have an 1830 Gaol record from Tewkesbury for Edward Bevan alias Morfield, Waterman, who was tried and acquitted for larceny. As the family were "on the boats" records can turn up anywhere close to the rivers, so any help and ideas would be appreciated. Angela

Angela, I don't know if you just confined your searches to Worcestershire but from experience boat people pop up anywhere from Bristol right up to Liverpool and beyond with children baptised all along the way. Families are often found in two places at once on the censuses too, especially if the mother has had a new baby and stays put a while, giving all the family names to the enumerator - makes life interesting.
