Summary

John Lovelin Williams (son of John Williams, shoemaker, and Lavinia Bevan) was born in 1814 and christened at the parish church of St. Dogmaels. Lavinia Bevans was from a S Pembs family who produced several surgeons and who incorporated local surnames (eg Bartlett, Lovelin(g), Carew) as second names.
John Lovelin was apprenticed as a sailor at age 14 and became mate by age 31, sailing mainly coastal routes out of Swansea.

He married in 1844 Sarah Ladd who was working as a servant at Swansea. They had three daughters: Lavinia, Sarah Jane and Martha (born 1849 at Swansea).

By 1847, John was mate on a Newport registered vessel and they may have moved to Newport 1849 on. In the 1851 census, Sarah and her three daughters were living at Newport and John Williams had died (by drowning according to family memory; so between 1849 and 1851).

Bevans family

Plausible scenario: Alexander Bevan(s) was from S Pembs (Jameston area) and was working as a surgeon in Cardigan (as asst to John Williams re Cardigan Gaol) by 1800. He and wife Jane are listed as parents of
John Bartlett Bevan bp 1784 Penally
Lavinia Gwyllim Bevans bp 1785 St Florence
Alexander Phillips Bevan(s) bp 1788 St Florence
Edward Loveling Bevan(s) bp 1789/90 Carew
Charles J Bevan bp 1799 Cardigan
Thomas Carew Bevan bp 1800 Cardigan
The males all worked as surgeons (in Cardigan, Abingdon, St. Davids, St. Dogmaels, Newport Pembs).
Second names appear to be surnames of ancestors and are found in the S Pembs area.
