Member Since: December 2011 Posts: 76 Send Message	My 3xgt grandfather John Bevan b.1804 Pilton, Devon, according to 1851 census married Elizabeth.. I have not been able to find a marriage to confirm her maiden name. Also unable to find where they were in 1841. Their daughter Mary Ann was my 2xgt.grandmother. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you. :-(
