Thanks Elizabeth for passing this on. Thanks Althea for your help. Florinda was the cousin of Frederick the surgeon b 1807 in Llansamlet. His father was also Frederick a surgeon and this Frederick was the brother of Henry. The family had moved to Northumberland about 1809. Edith was the daughter of Frederick the surgeon b 1807. She was baptised Edith Florinda - The Gage name came from Florinda's mothers side so I am not sure why Edith adopted it but that is her death registration you have found. The only occupation I have for this Henry Williams Beavan is Gentleman. He features in the Cambrian a few times in the early 1800s selling property etc. There is a little bit of intrigue in that I have another Henry Williams Beavan that was the same age. I have located him in the census and he used the family traditional forenames of Williams, Cadwalleder and Llewellyn in his children's names. He died in September 1851 and was a Commission Agent/ Captain in the 18th Royal Regiment of Ireland. His children were born between 1819 and 1837 and his wife was Susannah Caroline Ashton whom he married in 1818. He lived in London and Middlesex and in 1841 was at St Pancras. Some of the other Frederick's family lived in Chelsea. I often wonder if they are one and the same and that is why I'd like to find them in the census - perhaps Henry left Mildred but her death certificate does say wife of Henry but then he was not the informant so was he even there? They only had one child in 1805, one wonders why. The London Henry was in the army, Royal Regiment of Ireland - Mildred was born in Dublin and that is where she was married. However, if Henry was in London with his other family where was Mildred in 1841 or 1851?

Thought I'd follow up for those who took an interest in this one. I have just discovered the following death notice for Florinda Beavan daughter of Henry Williams Beavan The Standard (London) 18 October 1875 records the event "Beavan - 10th, at Tenby Florinda Elizabeth Beavan, only daughter of the late Cap, Henry Williams Beavan, 18th Royal Irish, in her 71st year. Irish papers please copy. Monday, October 18, 1875; pg. 7; Issue 15983." This proves my suspicion that the two men called Henry Williams Beavan are one and the same. I already knew that the one in London was a Captain in the 18th Royal Irish...see below. Another mystery solved! :) Lyn In Oz, > -----Original Message----- > From: glamorgan-bounces@rootsweb.com > [mailto:glamorgan-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Lyn > Sent: Thursday, 30 June 2011 10:07 PM > To: 'Eliz Hanebury' > Cc: glamorgan@rootsweb.com > Subject: Re: [GLA] Florinda BEAVAN's will > > Thanks Elizabeth for passing this on. > > Thanks Althea for your help.
