Wow. My records show (no sources I'm afraid) that the BEVAN family came from Whitchurch, Shropshire, England.

Do you have the website link for passenger list The Lady Nugent?

Can you attach picture of your Mr Greatbatch in a new journal please?

Thank you.

Arrival of "The Lady Nugent"

Lady Nugent

Q.Can you confirm where exactly they came from? England or Wales?
Q.Were Thomas & William BEVAN born 1836 ... twins?

by babess on 2008-02-04 00:18:40

Thomas and William were not twins, as far as I know, Thomas Jnr was born in 1836 and William in 1838.

My Bevan family left Yardington Street, Whitchurch, England.

My grt grt grandfather William Bevans grandparents David and Sarah Bevan were from Wrexham, Wales

Some research on the Bevan family has already been done for you, if you find the Bevan family book named 'Tatou Tatou' you will find photos, geneology and the story of the travels from England to here in New Zealand. The Book is at the Turnbull Library to my Knowledge.Alot of the original photos are there also along with other bits and pieces.
