William Bevan
b. 1864
There isn’t enough reliable evidence to identify this William Bevan as a published author from the details provided. The available search results mainly point to genealogy records for a man born in 1864, along with several different people of the same name who were writers or public figures.

About the author
Search results for "William Bevan" and the birth year 1864 are too ambiguous to support a confident author biography. The clearest matches found were genealogy entries for a William Bevan born in 1864 and died in 1942 in Okehampton, Devon, but those records do not establish him as an author.
Other results refer to different people named William Bevan, including William Latham Bevan, a Welsh clergyman and writer born in 1821, and several modern figures with the same name. Because those identities do not match the birth year you supplied, it would be misleading to blend them into an "About the Author" note.
If you can share a book title, a middle name, dates of death, or a publisher, I could narrow this down and produce a proper author summary.
