bullet  General Notes:

From Source
On the day of her marriage to Josias K Beavis (22 Jan 1827) Mary Ann had three children baptised at Withycombe Raleigh. They were George Branscombe (born 3 Nov 1819), William Branscombe (born 2 Apr 1825) and Sarah Ann Branscombe (born 29 Jul 1826). I don't know what became of Sarah Ann but George & William appear in the 1841 Withycombe Raleigh census with the Beavis surname. George used the surname Beavis for the rest of his life. William reverted to the Branscome surname when he emigrated to Australia. I have no absolute proof but I feel sure that Josias K Beavis was the father of these three children. I say this because George appears to have inherited JKB's blacksmiths business in preference to a son born after the marriage who was also a blacksmith. Given the conventions of the time it seems unlikely that George would have inherited if he had not been the eldest surviving blood son.
