Sarah Ann SANDERS 1811 Monmouth
Many thanks. I have been totally unable to track down her christening, despite searches of the Monmouth records at the Gwent R O. But which church /chapel in Monmouth did the christening take place? William, her father, we know from her marriage record, was a maltster and the next stage is to trace his marriage and perhaps something of his work as a maltster - in Monmouth?

Would anyone have any idea why the name change from BEAVAN to BEAVER please?
There was a Walter Beavan also who married Alice James in 1871 and his name also later appeared in the census living in Fishponds in Bristol, under the new surname of BEAVER.
If anyone has any knowledge of this I would be very grateful please, as it seems really strange to me!
Best wishes to all.

I suspect its just simply how BEAVAN has been transcribed - nothing more sinister :-) hand written r vs. n
