From his obituary: "His father, grandfather and elder brother were all stockbrokers. But his great-grandfather, Francis Augustus Bevan, was a partner in the Lombard Street banking house of Barclay, Bevan, Tritton, Ransom, Bouverie & Co"

Do you have information about his  father, grandfather and elder brother ?

The talk below stairs was that the brother was christened Robin and changed it to Rob by Deed Poll.  Never heard the Robert name used  but Rob is a standard abbreviation so that means nothing. Rob Bevan bought his father Hugh Bevan's partnership in Pember and Boyle (the Government stockbrokers) after Hugh Beven retired on health grounds.

   
Pleasance Bevan remained close to her family and (in my opinion) especially Honey Scrutton's son Dr David Scrutton
