Hello, my name is Darren Teverson from Shepperton, Middlesex. I am son of Gordon Teverson. My email address is arcana666@aol.com. I am 28 years old. I am looking into finding the roots of the family name.
|
Hello Darren, I have copy of a Teverson family tree, compiled obout 70 years ago. If you can tell me your grandfather/greatgrandfathers name, I may be able to help your search. Looking forward to hearing from you. Peter Teverson.

I am another Peter Teverson. Are there more than one teverson families or are we related?
|
Hello Peter,
Yes, I think there must be a few of us around. I was a Teverson until marriage and have been looking into the Teverson Tree for some time now. Just when I think I have all available, new names pop up.
What branch are you from - any relation to Herbert Reeves Teverson (m Florence Harriet Brook 1889)?
Love to hear from you

Hello Peter, Please let me know the names of your grandparents, or great-grandparents, and I can look on our family tree to see how we may be related.

sure, does george and Ailsa ring a bell? (Ailsa maiden name Moor)
|
My grandfather was George son of Donald Henry and Kathleen Marjorie Monday. Donald was the son of George Abrey brother of Herbert Reeves-hope this helps. What is your connection to herbert? Peter

Hi Peter,
Thankyou for your email.
Perhaps I am not as good as I thought at tracing the family tree!
I am the granddaughter of Herbert Reeves and Florence Harriet Brook. Herbert and Florence had six children, Essex, Nelson, Eric, Kennett, Lorna and Horace. I am the middle child of Horace who married Sarah Ann Hutt (they had five children).
I believe Herbert's parents to be Henry b.1823/4 and Sarah Teverson b. 1825. Married in Stepney 1849 and parents of ten children, Elizabeth 1852, Harry 1853, Ellen 1855, George 1856 (your grandfather?), Georgina 1858, Alice 1860, Herbert 1861, Walter 1863, Horace 1866 and Reginald 1871,
My sister in UK has a newspaper print that informs of Lorna Teverson's death. Amongst the flower tribute there was one from Uncle Horace and one from Uncle Reggie. I am in UK in the first two weeks of January and we are going to stay in and around Chigwell and Cowlinge to try to find some of the records kept. I believe a few of them are kept at Bury St Edmonds.
I think I might have it correct to say that your grandfather George Abrey was the brother to my grandfather Herbert Reeves.
I am finding some difficulty in finding out the parents of Henry and Sarah - I think they could be Henry b.1807 at Kedington who married Alice b.1805. They were married 28th November 1825.
As I said Peter - I am not that good at this - but am enjoying trying!
Perhaps you would be kind enough to let me know if I am that far off track - your heritage pre 1856 might be the same as mine!
Keep safe, best regards Margaret

Hi Sally, Have you tried the Essex Seax website, you can look up the parish registers online (can sign up for just a week or a year etc).
I wasn't actaully followign the Teverson line, I was trying for find my Purkis line, but I did come across the following records, you probalby have them but just incase you haven't, here's what I had found: i) Betsy Teverson Purkis daughter of John and Peggy baptised 7 May 1796, Sturmer. ii) John Purkis, son of John and Peggy baptised 22 Nov 1796, Sturmer iii) Ann Purkis, daughter of John and Peggy baptised 26 July 1798, Sturmer iv) Harriot Purkis, duaghter of John & Peggy baptised 3 July 1804, Sturmer v) Harry Teverson Purkis, son of John & Peggy baptised 11 July 1806, Sturmer.
There may have been more, and you probalby have then, I was trying to find a William Purkiss born about 1767, where isn't known but his son John Purkis was born in 1811 in Helions Bumpstead, Essex. Couldn't find my Willima there was was having a look at nearby parishes and the above caught my eye.
Regards Judy
