I am looking for any descendants of John Davies Bevan b.1846 in Hereford, England, and his wife Eda Caroline Houssons b.1843 in London, Eng. They were married in Melbourne, Australia in 1872. John's father, also John, was born in Grosmont, Monmouth about 1821 and I believe joined his brother James - my great-grandfather - in Melbourne in the mid-1800s and together they ran Cobbs Coaches and the Royal Mail line in the Melbourne area. James and his wife Elizabeth, together with John's son Bennett, were drowned in 1866 when the ship they were on, the London, foundered on their return journey to Australia after a trip back to Wales. I believe that John and his wife Sophia returned to Wales, taking with them James's children, Jim (my grandfather) and Mary, and possibly remained in Wales, leaving their son John Davies in Melbourne as he and Eda died there in 1928 and 1924 respectively. John and Eda had six children - Eda, Emily, Jessie (or possibly Sophia), Florence, Oswald and Leslie. Descendants of any of these might be able to help me complete the story of James Bevan and his brother John.
