Bevan Whakapapa
Jill Bevan-Brown has created an online book specifically for and focused on the direct descendants of William Bevan Jnr and Martha Isabell Clark. This book is a "living document" and as Jill continues to research our whakapapa, rectify mistakes, add new information and improve the way it is presented she would prefer people to treat it as an online resource rather than downloading and/or printing it out. Here is the link: whakapapa.rf.gd/index.html

Henry Raymond Bevan
Henry Raymond Bevan was born in Otaki on 8 March 1895. This case had piqued my particular interest from the outset having lived in Otaki in my teens and attended the college there prior to my enlistment in the NZ Army. In reading through Henry Bevan's military file I recognised the names of several families belonging to college students I had known particularly well, families that by 1970 were probably very much larger and complex than in Henry Bevan's day.
